Can You Use A Portable Greenhouse?

Greenhouses have never been more popular than they are now, as more people are taking up an interest in vegetable and flower gardening. There is also now the portable greenhouse which is a great option for avid gardeners who do a lot of traveling. This is a smaller, portable version of the basic greenhouse we are all used to. No matter what you may need it for and especially if you like to travel with your plants a lot, the portable greenhouse would make an ideal choice.

Of course these greenhouses do tend to be much smaller than regular greenhouses but they are still very useful. They work just as other greenhouses do by covering the plants and keeping wind, frost and other weather away from them. They help keep critters like raccoons and rabbits away from your beloved pets so they cannot nibble on them and chew them up. A lot of people have plants growing in their yard or garden at their home and want to keep them there but also protect them during a big rainfall or bad weather and in that case the portable greenhouse would also come in handy.

This open bottom feature is very convenient and makes using your portable greenhouse super simple. It is not hard to decipher which greenhouses are considered as being portable, because basically any greenhouse that offers quick and easy assembly fits into this category as a normal sized greenhouse takes hours and a professional crew to set up in most cases. You can usually find these at any basic greenhouse store. Look for those that advertise as being able to be set up in no more than a half hour.

Any longer than this and it is just going to be a pain in the butt taking down and setting up every time. One thing you want to remember to do before buying one of these greenhouses is pick it up to get a better idea of its weight. One of the most important things to look for in a portable greenhouse is a light weight. This will make it much easier for you to carry around.

The collapsible portable greenhouses work especially well. The main difference with these is that they fold down in a snap with the simple touch of a button. These cost about $400 on average. Compared to the couple grand you would pay for a regular sized greenhouse either price is not too bad.
