Victorian Style Greenhouse - this design is aesthetically pleasing to the eye with its gable style roof. It is a great choice for someone who desires a greenhouse with ample head space to walk around in. Its frame can be made of a number of materials.

Hoop Greenhouse - the hoop greenhouse is generally one of the easiest types to construct and requires only simple hand-held tools to complete the project from start to finish. The shape resemble an elongated semi-circle. It is a great choice for use as a temporary structure to keep plants warm during those cool early spring nights.

Lean-to Greenhouse - another greenhouse design which will give lots of head space as it is just an A-frame structure cut in half along the ridge of the roof. The structure is attached to the side of a building such as your home for support. It can be easily located on a walkway or patio.

Cold Frame - this structure is generally rectangular in shape, with a clear plastic or glass lid. The lid allows the sunlight to enter and warm up the inside of the wooden box. Plants can be located inside to keep warm and receive protection from frost.
