Where should I set up my conservatory? How should it be oriented?

To be able to enjoy your covered botanical garden to the fullest, you’d do best to consider the following guidelines:

• In a sunny place:
  The optimum orientation is southwest, with the front wall (with door opening) oriented to the south. By orienting the long side of the conservatory (= biggest glass surface) to the east and west, the conservatory will be warmed and cooled more evenly.
• With easy access from your house:
  If the conservatory is easily accessible from your house, it will be used much more frequently.
