Wooden Greenhouses
All about a Red Cedar Wooden Greenhouse
A beautiful red cedar greenhouse is a must for any garden. Thuja Plicata is the latin name for Western Red Cedar which is used in the making of most red cedar greenhouses.
Western Red Cedar needs little maintenance so is ideal for our wet British winters. Decay from moisture is hindered by natural oils in the wood. Western Red Cedar will not warp so keeping the shape of your greenhouse as perfect as the day it was bought. Swelling or reduction of the wood is kept to a minimum as it will absorb or discharge any moisture.
Your greenhouse is available in many beautiful colours to suit any taste. Size is obviously dictated by the space you have in your garden. The colours available are very attractive and can be finished off to be extremely smooth. Painting the wood to preserve it is not necessary as even under extremes of weather the wood will remain good.
Cedar has proven to be the best material in the making of greenhouses. Crops are much larger and stronger than those from aluminum greenhouses. Water and electricity consumption are both lessened. Leaf curl, a common problem when moisture is reduced, is less apparent in cedar greenhouses. There is altogether less temperature fluctuation so producing better crops.
Most experienced gardeners understand that a red cedar greenhouse is the best choice, both for their gardens and for the best care of their plants.
There are many practical advantages in purchasing one of these wooden greenhouses. Wires for supporting and training plants are easily fixed onto the wood as are screws and hooks.
Natural oils in the wood produce a smell which will keep away many pests or insects and also help to reduce plant disease.
Wooden greenhouses are the perfect choice for a garden in the country. They will blend into a cottage garden or the more traditional. The red cedar greenhouse is a beautiful focal point becoming a wonderful addition to your garden. There is no need to hide it away at the bottom of your garden, rather positioning it in a prominent spot.
Cedar greenhouses have much higher insulation properties than those made from metal. Condensation, so often a problem with metal greenhouses, is not a problem with your cedar wood greenhouse.
There are many different styles and sizes available to you. From a small lean-to style to a large free-standing model you will be spoilt for choice. There are even red cedar potting benches and coldframes available. A wide range of accessories are also available tailoring your space to suit you.
Assembly is easy. All you have to do is choose the right model for you and the best position in your garden for assembly.
