When looking for greenhouse supplies it is important to consider two important factors: the size and the type of the greenhouse that will be stocked. The size of the greenhouse you have will determine the supplies needed. Large walk-through greenhouses generally require more equipment than smaller greenhouses. On the other hand, some small greenhouses; such as, portable greenhouses and mini greenhouses, should not require a large investment in equipment or other start up costs. Supplies for a greenhouse can be as inexpensive as good gardening tools or as expensive as a nice piece of jewelry, it all depends on what type of supply is sought after.
For gardeners that boast a yard with a permanent greenhouse, the most important of all greenhouse supplies is the right ventilation system. There are different types of ventilations systems, but one of the most common is a fan ventilation system. A fan ventilation system uses fans to exhale hot air and draw in cooler air through shudders mounted on the opposite end of the greenhouse. In warm climates and in the summer it may be necessary to have an exhaust system in addition to a fan system.
Another way to supply fresh air and cool the greenhouse is to use roof and/or side vents. These will have to be installed in large greenhouses; however, portable greenhouses with plastic covers use venting systems that are built in. It is usually best to combine these fans with an automatic vent opener so that fresh air can gradually be pumped to plants. Since greenhouses are designed to store heat from the sun during the day, cooling the greenhouse without an excellent ventilation system is nearly a difficult task. Ventilation provides fresh air to plants and also prevents the greenhouse from overheating.
Professional growers use shade covers in addition to ventilation systems to keep their greenhouses at a lower temperature. Shade covers also provide shading for plants that don't grow well in full sunlight, allowing you to extend your variety of plants.
Much of the heat required for greenhouses comes from the sun, but in cold climates other heating sources may be necessary. A heating system can be fueled by electricity, gas, wood, or oil. Consult a professional to help you decide which fuel is best for certain situations. In temperate conditions, a smaller greenhouse kit can be adequately warmed with electric heaters. Small gas heaters will also work in small greenhouses well in small greenhouses such as greenhouse sheds and greenhouse kits.
