Slant Roof Greenhouse

Solar greenhouse designers often cite a rule of thumb along the lines of.

Slant roof greenhouse.

A lean to greenhouse extending 6 from your house needs a minimum 8 of height with an additional 4 for each additional foot the greenhouse extends from the building wall. Made with the same high quality craftsmanship as our award winning coops and super long lasting polycarbonate panels. Lean to greenhouses are also called half greenhouses because it seems like the greenhouse has been sliced in half. This pitch is needed for shedding rain and snow easily to avoid heavy loading of the structure.

Another popular style for greenhouses is the a frame. We recommend a 4 12 roof pitch as a minimum. A lean to greenhouse is a type of greenhouse that is built against the wall of a building. To find the best angle for a greenhouse roof take your latitude and add 20 degrees.

Coming fall 2020 after almost a year of research and design we re excited to release our new slant roof greenhouse this fall. It has only one slanted roof and shares a wall with a building. The pitch of the roof is generally anywhere between 5 12 to 3 12. The a frame is known for being shaped like a triangle or the letter a as the name implies at the roof point.

Ideal for greenhouse deck canopy carport shelter tent. A greenhouse roof needs to have enough slope to prevent leaks and dripping condensation.
