Anyone used a outdoor greenhouse for winter time ? I’m looking for recommendations for a good one , I’ve seen the ones below but this is my first year with plants and not sure what to look for .

Hi Lizzi, Do you mean using this inside over the winter or outside? ☺️

1 likeOh okay, then I can’t answer on that. I have a 5’ x 7’ outdoor greenhouse that I use indoors. That would absolutely freeze in Canadian winter and I would just have shelves of frozen plants.

1 likeI have one like that but i use it inside. Outside in the rocky mountains of Utah would freeze all my plants if they were outside in the greenhouse even with a heater.
1 likeOh no I live in Florida so it’s such a hit or miss
0 likesUsing a heater over winter ended up being pretty expensive for me. Last year i did no heating and only winter hardy plants in it with mulch around the pots to insulate, and... they all died. :/ it may take some time to figure out what works well for you, so until you get the hang of it, use your most expendable plants for testing
