Do Greenhouses Need a Base

Our recommendation is that any double glass greenhouse or any greenhouse over 12×20 should rest on a concrete footing. Even so, many customers will choose a concrete foundation for a smaller greenhouse for longevity and easy cleaning.

Does a greenhouse have to have a base?

Do I need a metal base with my greenhouse? The answer is in most cases is yes. Traditionally greenhouse frames were built onto a little brick wall or plinth about one or two bricks high.

Should a greenhouse have a floor?

Floors are the foundation of the greenhouse in more ways than one. They need to allow for good drainage, insulate the greenhouse from cold, keep out weeds and pests, and they also need to be comfortable for you.
