Choose Your Building Site

To create an easy-to-assemble greenhouse, you'll first need to choose where to build your greenhouse. The location of your greenhouse is an important factor. Check for trees, buildings and other impediments that could shade the area. It should be an area that gets a lot of winter sunlight.

A Level Spot

Make sure that the area isn't a low-lying spot that will collect water when it rains. Try to find a place to build that is level or can easily be made level, and that will have good drainage since you will be doing alot of watering. Once you've decided on a spot, level the ground if need by and outline your space with a string line or spray paint.
