When you want a greenhouse for a short period of time, then you should look into the range of portable greenhouses that are available. Such a greenhouse is designed for quick and easy assembly so that you can take it down and put it back up whenever and wherever you want to. There are greenhouses that you can set up within 30 minutes. These are so lightweight that it is simply a matter of pulling the anchors from the ground and folding up the sides and the roof. You can even move it without folding - just have a friend help you pick up the frame and move it with you.

The most beneficial part of having a portable greenhouse is that when the winter comes, you can take it down and store it until spring. This way you don't have to worry about having a greenhouse made of materials able to withstand high winds or ice and snow. Another way such a greenhouse is beneficial is that you can move it closer to your house to avail of a ready water and electricity supply.

In the fall when there are less daylight hours, you cam move this type of greenhouse so that it catches the most sun. Collapsible greenhouses sell for about $400 each, which is a lot cheaper than the ones that you build and leave in place. Instead of having glass, however, the material used to cover the frame is polyethylene, while the frame is lightweight aluminium.

Rather than look for plans to help you build this type of greenhouse, your best bet is look for a kit. The kits are affordable and you can do all the work yourself. All holes are predrilled and there are even kits where all the pieces simply snap together for easy assembly and disassembly.
