Whether gardening is a hobby or a profession, a lean-to greenhouse is a great addition to any property. By building onto an existing structure, you can save on materials and provide an ideal environment for more efficient gardening and extended growing options. With a basic design, it is an affordable and popular, eco-friendly greenhouse option.
When we purchased our property, it came with a large portable shed. Over the years, we added a three-sided structure to the west of the building as a shelter for our hobby farm animals and a chicken coop. We also renovated the interior of the building which serves as our garden shed and tack room. Over the winter, we added a wood stove and knew a lean-to greenhouse would be the perfect addition to the east side of the structure to complete the overall building design.
We briefly considered using a premade aluminum frame kit, but we wanted to be able to work with wood to fully customize the size, shape and function of our lean-to greenhouse. Our main structure was already multipurpose, and by going the DIY route, we knew we could customize the lean-to greenhouse to fit our specific needs and space requirements. Our project gave us all the advantages of a hobby greenhouse in a familiar, yet custom walk-in design. A lean-to greenhouse is perfect for smaller backyards and limited spaces such as a balcony or patio.
