Different types of greenhouses: Overview

Lean-to greenhouses made of wrought iron and glass

Lean-to greenhouses are an excellent option for those with a terrace or with limited available garden space.

These greenhouses lean against an existing wall, facade, garden shed or building, taking up less space than traditional free-standing greenhouse models.

Despite their compact size, they still provide enough space to grow a variety of vegetables, fruits and plants.

Our lean-to greenhouses are cleverly designed! Not only do they capture heat from the adjacent building (if applicable), but due to the greenhouse effect, they can also heat the facade of your home and your property.

The latter is especially true during the colder months when the sun is low and shines directly into the greenhouse.

This two-way advantage means you need to heat less, saving on your energy bills.

Freestanding Victorian-style greenhouses

Should you plan to buy a greenhouse, you have several options. One popular choice is the traditional or Victorian-style greenhouse.

This classic design from our DBG Classics range offers an elegant and timeless look that will suit almost any garden.

Our Victorian greenhouses, also known as authentic arched greenhouses, are freestanding and can be customised to suit your specific needs and preferences.

If you choose a Victorian-style greenhouse, you are investing in something that will last for generations.

With their robust construction and high-quality materials, these greenhouses can last for many years and even decades without showing signs of wear and tear.

Special types of greenhouses

For those who want something unique, special types of greenhouses are available in our product range.

These designs from DBG Classics offer a unique and eye-catching addition to any garden:

Greenhouses on a slope

This type of greenhouse is a unique and innovative solution for terrains and gardens that aren’t completely flat.

In other words, these greenhouses are specially designed to blend seamlessly into the slope, making them not only functional but also aesthetically appealing.

By opting for a greenhouse on a slope, you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of your garden and its surroundings.

And at the same time, of course, you also take full advantage of the natural light so typical of our wrought iron greenhouses.

Our sloping greenhouses focus on an integrated terrace design which means no surface area is lost (see exemplary projects below for more details):

Our special colour options for wrought iron greenhouses offer that unique touch that takes your garden or outdoor space to the next level.

With us, you get the freedom to choose your own colour for your wrought iron greenhouse.

You carefully select the colour that perfectly matches your vision and taste, combining elegance and timelessness.

In this way, you ensure a unique and distinctive character that reflects exactly what you have in mind.

These unique designs bring together the best of both worlds:

1. the independence of a freestanding greenhouse, and

They stand proudly on their own, without the need for additional wall support.

These special greenhouses are not only a statement of innovation but also of architectural finesse.

Dive into our collection below and discover how our self-supporting end-wall lean-to greenhouses can transform any garden and outdoor space into a paragon of aesthetic perfection and skillfully engineered architecture:

Wrought iron and glass as materials for the perfect balance

Buying a greenhouse is not something you do every day… Consequently, when you are considering to buy a greenhouse, quality and aesthetics are most likely at the top of your wish list.

Hence, the combination of wrought iron and glass stands out as the ultimate material for those seeking the ultimate in durability and style.

Glass, with its ability to let in abundant light, creates a lively space inside the greenhouse and also offers a crystal-clear view of your garden.

Compared to polycarbonate, a material that may be cheaper and better insulating, it lacks the transparency and aesthetic superiority of real glass.

On top of that, wrought iron offers a robust strength that stands the test of time.

It is not only extremely strong and durable, but also adds a touch of elegance that is hard to match with other materials.

While the cost of a wrought iron greenhouse may be higher than a PVC greenhouse due to its quality, the investment is well worth it.

This is thanks to the unparalleled beauty and longevity that such a wrought iron greenhouse offers.

Wrought iron and glass create a harmonious blend that is both functional and ornamental.

This makes your wrought iron and glass greenhouse a timeless addition to your home that will last for generations.

So choose the very best and let your home or garden shine with the charm of wrought iron and the brightness of glass!

Advantages of buying your own greenhouse

Braving the four seasons in your garden

Imagine: A place where your gardening hobby is never constrained by the weather.

If you buy a greenhouse, this will become a reality! Rain, snow, heat or cold, your crops will continue to flourish undisturbed…

Spring

• Awakening: While the world outside slowly awakens from its winter sleep, your greenhouse is already jumping into full bloom.
• Getting ahead: Start sowing while others wait for the last night frost. By the time others start, you will already have young plants growing.
• Protection: Early spring showers? No problem. Your young plants will remain protected from sudden drops in temperature and/or heavy rain.

Summer

• Oasis: Where the outside world sighs under the heat, your greenhouse provides a refreshing oasis for your plants,
• Flexibility: Regulate temperature and humidity so that your crops can flourish even during the hottest days. This is possible using our automatic window openers for ventilation,
• Shady: Use shade cloths in combination with ventilation, if required, to create an ideal environment, protected from the bright midday sun and overheating.

Autumn

• Extending the growing season: While most gardens are preparing for winter, you can enjoy an extended growing season in your greenhouse.
• Harvesting is also still possible: Make the most of late crops that need just a little more time to ripen.
• Preparation: Start preparing for winter. Sow winter-hardy crops and prepare for a new cycle of growth.

Winter

• Green winter: While the outside world is covered in snow, your greenhouse remains a vibrant green space if you wish.
• Continuous cultivation: Even during the coldest days, your greenhouse allows for continuous cultivation. Vegetables like kale and Brussels sprouts, for example, thrive perfectly in the winter cold.
• Protected environment: No worries about snow, ice or frost damage. Your greenhouse keeps the cold out and the heat in, keeping your crops protected from the winter elements.

A protective shield against undesirable elements

Your greenhouse functions as a protective fortress, keeping harmful insects, diseases and extreme weather conditions better at bay.

• Insects: Thanks to the design of your garden conservatory, your plants remain better protected from pests.
• Diseases: A protected environment reduces the risk of diseases and keeps your vegetable garden healthier and more prosperous.
• Weather: From downpours to hail, nothing can harm your crops.

Master your own microclimate and health

You are at the helm of an organic oasis, free from harmful pesticides!

In your own greenhouse, you not only control the growing conditions, but also what will nourish and protect your plants and crops:

• Temperature: Adjust the heat to your liking so that every plant feels completely in tune.
• Humidity: Thanks to humidity control, you prevent mould growth and ensure your plants stay optimally hydrated.
• Lighting: With ideal light conditions, you promote photosynthesis, leading to an abundant harvest.
• Organic gardening: In the protected environment of your greenhouse, you can opt for organic growing methods. This means healthier crops without the use of chemical pesticides.
• Pure and healthy: By choosing natural pest control methods, you guarantee that what you harvest is free of harmful substances. This means healthier food straight from your garden to your plate!

Exotic greenery in your backyard

Dreaming of tropical fruits or a cactus garden?

Your glass garden greenhouse pushes the boundaries of what’s possible!

Pineapple, papaya or even a cactus garden, everything is within reach provided you use the right techniques!

Wealth from your own soil

A greenhouse is not only pleasing to the eye but also to the wallet!

This is because you are able to grow your own fruit and vegetables and save significantly on your groceries.

Not to mention that tasting a freshly picked tomato or cucumber from your own garden is priceless!

In other words, to buy a greenhouse means you can start enjoying the authentic taste of home-grown crops, without pesticides and unnatural additives.

The art of cultivating fruit and vegetables in your greenhouse

Masterful selection for greenhouse cultivation

Investing in a greenhouse can yield a grandiose transformation of your garden into a paradise of fresh crops.

However, choosing the ideal crops is an art in itself.

Consider green leafy crops such as spinach and lettuce, which flourish optimally under the protected roof of a greenhouse.

Or would you rather venture into the realm of exotic fruits or vegetables that originate from far outside your local climate?

Stars of the greenhouse

Finally, some stars of the greenhouse:

• Tomatoes
• Sweet peppers
• Cucumbers
• Aubergines

These crops particularly shine in a glass greenhouse.

With the right knowledge and preparation, you can enjoy an abundant harvest from your greenhouse several times a year!

Sublime soil preparation & enrichment

Every masterpiece starts with a solid foundation. The secret of greenhouse success lies in the soil.

It is essential to know the right nutritional values and enrich your soil where needed!

Some tips:

• Undergo a detailed soil analysis.
• Enrich the soil in your greenhouse with organic compost or manure (potash can also help).
• Integrate the additions into the topsoil with precision.

The reward? A soil in which your crops not only grow but in which they can actually flourish optimally.

Water & light: The elixirs of life

Every crop has its own needs.

While tomatoes prefer to bathe in sunlight, lettuce prefers a cooler ambience.

The secret? Listen and act!

Some practical tips:

• Guarantee a continuous flow of natural light.
• Position your crops strategically so they benefit from the best-fitting natural light cycle in your greenhouse. By positioning your crops in the right place in your greenhouse, you can take advantage of varying light intensities throughout the day. This allows you to create optimal growing conditions without requiring additional lighting.
• Feed your crops with water according to their unique thirst.

Protection from unwanted guests

Diseases and unwanted guests can threaten your green paradise. So foresight is advised!

Maintain impeccable greenhouse hygiene and react quickly at the first signs of impending doom.

And embrace biological control methods such as welcoming helpful insects!

Harvesting and nurturing

The supreme moment: Harvesting fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit. But make no mistake: storing these is also an art…

Some handy tips:

• Harvest at the peak of perfection and find that magic moment.
• Give your harvest a cool, sheltered resting place.
• Dare to experiment with traditional preservation techniques for an extended taste experience.

Large greenhouses and their advantages

More space for diversity of plants

A big advantage of buying a greenhouse is the ability to house a greater diversity of plants.

With more space, you can grow different types of plants that might not otherwise fit in your garden or greenhouse.

This means you can experiment with exotic or unusual plant species, as well as traditional favourites.

Moreover, a larger greenhouse can also help organise your garden.

You can create different zones for different types of plants, which can help keep your garden neat and organised.

No matter if you are an experienced gardener or just a beginner, the extra space a greenhouse provides can be really useful.

Ability to create a relaxation area or garden room

Besides housing your plant collection, a large greenhouse can also be used as a relaxation area or even as an extra room for your home (see above for examples of greenhouses used as verandas or winter gardens).

Imagine sitting on your terrace surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants while enjoying the view of your garden.

Fact: This can also add value to your home. In fact, a well-built and attractive greenhouse can appeal to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell your home.

More options for temperature control and automation systems

A large greenhouse offers more options for temperature control and automation.

This means you can control conditions in your greenhouse more precisely, which can lead to better growing results for your plants.

For example, with an automated system you can control the temperature and humidity in your greenhouse (tip: make use of our automatic window openers).

This can help ensure that your plants always get the right amount of light and heat they need to thrive.

In addition, some systems can also be programmed to perform specific tasks, such as watering your plants at certain times of day.

This can not only save time, but also help ensure that your plants are always happy and well cared for.

Have a greenhouse installed or build your own?

• Flexibility: You can work entirely at your own pace, take breaks at your convenience and spread the construction over several days, weeks, months or weekends.
• Personal adjustments: During construction, you have complete freedom to make adjustments specific to your personal preferences and needs.
• Cost savings: Building it yourself proves more economical in most cases, especially if you already have some basic tools or can borrow them from friends or family.

Advantages of professional installation

• Experience and expertise: Our professionals have years of experience in building greenhouses from glass and wrought iron, resulting in a seamless and efficient installation.
• The right tools: Our experts have all the necessary equipment and tools for installation, ensuring the correct and smooth completion of your greenhouse.
