Our gable attached greenhouse models are built with the upmost of care to ensure a solid, safe structure for your home greenhouse. Each residential greenhouse kit is adaptable in design and built to customer specifications to match your existing roof line and create that sunroom feel.
Available in Pacific, Traditional, Cottage or Cape Cod slope, the design can be upgraded for additional wind and snow loads if required. The frame is available in any color to match your existing structure as well as any glazing – single glass, double glass, twinwall or fivewall polycarbonate.
Extend the gardening season in a conveniently located sunroom. To suit your home, this residential greenhouse design can be customized to fit under the existing eaves and appear to be part of the original design.
A gable attached residential greenhouse should have some consideration given to available sunlight, ventilation and temperate control in your sunrooms. In addition, the available height of the attached wall will dictate the height and size of the home greenhouse. Generally speaking, the wider the sunroom, the higher the supporting wall must be. Other considerations would be the optimum location of windows and doors for adequate temperature control. Lastly, some thought should be given to how snow or rain will slide off of the roof onto to the residential greenhouse depending on your climate.
Potential customers may be interested in the following: I am retired with a very bad back and a twice broken collarbone that restricts the height I can reach with my right arm. I put the greenhouse up by myself with the help of three ladders and a bunch of bungee cords. It took six days including the time to re-do the base but a day and half of that was waiting for you to open to get information. So four and a half days for one person. We are very happy with the greenhouse.
When selecting a site for your foundation, choose a flat, level surface where your greenhouse can be easily installed, stable and secure. Locate your greenhouse close to power and water, while also considering water drainage and easy access. Try to locate the greenhouse so that 6 hours of sunlight is available during winter months.

The rules for the permit process depends on your municipality but generally speaking, a structure less than 120 square feet that is not considered permanent does not require a permit. We are able to provide engineered shop drawings to secure the required permits, if necessary. For more information, please visit https://info.bcgreenhouses.com/en-ca/greenhousepermit
It's the best way to get started on the journey to your new greenhouse!
