Greenhouse bases form the foundation for any long-standing greenhouse structure. Without a solid base to build from, you’ll probably find that your greenhouse will encounter problem after problem, so it’s essential that your base is prepared perfectly. Groundwork must also be taken into consideration when totting up labour costs and longevity of the structure.
What Greenhouse Base Options Are There?
Concrete Perimeter Base
The best of both worlds, a solid, durable base but also provides great drainage and the ability to grow direct into soil if you wish.
A central walkway is an optional addition.
Concrete Pad Base
You can rest assured with a concrete pad base that your base won't outlast your greenhouse. Some customers make use of existing pads or have a new one laid.
Just don't forget to think about how water will drain away!
Concrete Block Perimeter Base
A similar base to a concrete perimeter base, this style of base eliminates the need for concrete to be laid and allowed to set before installation.
Paved Perimeter Base
A great choice allowing any water to easily drain away and if you want to keep your feet clean you can also install a paved walkway down the middle.
