There are many advantages to installing a home greenhouse, making it a valuable investment for any gardener. First and foremost, a greenhouse provides a controlled environment for growing plants, allowing you to grow fresh produce year-round, regardless of the weather conditions outside. This means you can extend your growing season, start plants earlier in the spring, and keep them growing well into the fall and winter months. Additionally, a greenhouse protects your plants from pests and disease, reducing the need for harmful pesticides. Furthermore, a greenhouse allows you to control the temperature, humidity, and ventilation, giving your plants the ideal growing conditions they need to thrive. A greenhouse also provides a space to experiment with different plant varieties and growing techniques, expanding your gardening knowledge and skills. 

Glass greenhouses are more durable than plastic greenhouses, and they will last longer with proper maintenance.

Polycarbonate manufacturers warrant their greenhouse polycarbonate panels for 5 to 10 years, and some for as long as 15 years.

An aluminum greenhouse should last a lifetime and be virtually maintenance-free. Owners who've built their own wooden greenhouses have gotten 30 to 60 years of use out of their structures.
