Lean-to Greenhouses

The Victorians grasped the value of installing a greenhouse against a wall. The wall serves as a heat sink absorbing the warmth during the day and releasing it over the cooler evening to help keep the temperature constant.

They can also be recognized as sunrooms when they are built against a household property and can be utilized for gardening. Most of the lean-to greenhouses are built on a solid brick or firm stem wall. It is perfect for people who want to stay near their garden. Nowadays, it can be an affordable living and growing space. A lean-to greenhouse presents the best of both worlds. It can be customized and appear to be part of the original house plan.
