Greenhouse Placement
We recommend finding a flat area of land, clear of any trees, and far enough away from
existing structures to avoid runoff and snow drifts. Pay attention to the drainage in the
area. Extra ground work may be required to divert water runoff caused by regular
greenhouse waterings. Make sure that you are able to access the area with water.
**Always call 811 before you dig or install ground posts to have gas and utility lines marked or
check your site map.
