Bottom of the garden sounds ideal!!

Greenhouse positioning?
Spain is probably ideal
Find the sunniest and least windy spot.
Mines at the bottom of the garden, get sun at this time of year from 10am till sunset.

 

i was just worried about over cooking the stuff in it thats all , its just that when i see some of my plants they tend to lean towards the light and wondered if that would have any effect on it

 

Depends what you want to grow.
For me I'd pick a spot that gets winter sun, saves on heating for overwintered plants,.

If your not intending on growing or keeping plants over winter that is not so quite important.
Bear in mind any tree cover, deciduous trees allow a lot of sun through in winter but are shady in summer.
But basically go for the sunniest spot you have, shading is easy, dull spots are not as easy to deal with.

 

looks like the bottom of the garden then lol . i always thought that it was the best spot , but just needed some reasuranse , cheers all for replies

 

I had to move mine...you could have fried eggs in there no matter what I did.Unfortunately the smaller ones are murder to ventilate properly.

 

A small greenhouse, less than about 10' x 8', is difficult to keep cool in the summer. But light is the most important thing (unless you are growing things that need protection but are shade loving).

I gave some suggestions, which may be helpful to you too, in these threads:

"What's the best direction to have the door? Does it matter if it's to the sun?"
"Will bricks be ok for the base? There all there ready to go."
"Is it best to dig the inside before putting it up?"
"Do you lot plant into the ground or have pots/grow bags?"

I've excavated the floor in my cropping greenhouse a foot or so in order to give me more cropping height to the roof. When I used to put 12" pots on the (soil) floor I had even less cropping height ... definitely worth avoiding the temptation of raised beds in greenhouse for the same reason IMHO [for anyone wanting to grow a "tall" crop]

 

I'm happy with my solid base, I wouldn't want to change the soil every year, it also helps to keep out a lot of pests slugs and snails etc.

 

i like the idea of both solid and soft , think i may do half and half that way i have best of both worlds. cheers for advice .
