Greenhouse kits let you grow more, start earlier and keep plants safe through cold snaps, all without hiring an architect or a builder. At Mulberry Greenhouses we carry premium hobby greenhouse kits in glass, polycarbonate and cedar, from compact starter kits to grand Victorian glasshouses. Every kit ships free to the continental US, and real people help you pick the right one.
How to Choose the Best Greenhouse Kit
The best greenhouse kit is the one that fits your space, your climate and how you plan to grow. Start with these four questions:
- How big? Most gardeners wish they had bought one size larger. Shop by size: small greenhouse kits, medium greenhouses and large greenhouses.
- Glass or polycarbonate? Glass greenhouses give the clearest light and a timeless look. Polycarbonate greenhouses insulate better, diffuse light evenly and stand up well to hail.
- Freestanding or lean-to? A freestanding kit gets sun from every side. A lean-to greenhouse attaches to your house or garage, saves space, and keeps water and power close.
- What is your climate? In cold or snowy regions, look for strong framing, insulating panels and good snow-load ratings. In hot climates like ours in Georgia, plan for plenty of roof vents, fans and shade cloth.

Greenhouse Kit FAQ
What size greenhouse kit should I buy?
For seed starting and a few tomatoes, an 8x10 is a comfortable start. If you want to grow year-round, add benches or keep citrus, look at 10x15 or larger. When in doubt, go one size up; almost no one regrets the extra room.
What is a hobby greenhouse?
A hobby greenhouse is a backyard greenhouse built for home gardeners rather than commercial growers. Every kit in this collection is a hobby greenhouse, sized and priced for a home garden.
Do greenhouse kits need a foundation?
Most permanent kits need a level, solid base such as a concrete slab, pavers, a timber frame or a perimeter footing. Some models offer a matching base. Call us and we will help you plan the right one.
How hard is a greenhouse kit to assemble?
Small polycarbonate kits are often a weekend project for two people. Larger glass and cedar greenhouses take longer and more care. If you would rather not build it yourself, we can connect you with an assembly crew.
Is shipping really free?
Yes. Every greenhouse kit ships free to the continental US. Call 678-408-8222 for delivery questions to Alaska, Hawaii or remote areas.
