  • Lean to green house vs conservatory

    From David@wibble@btinternet.com to uk.rec.gardening on Wed Apr 22 14:12:29 2026

    Just idle thoughts at the moment.

    I have an end wall of a garage which could accommodate a lean to structure
    to catch the sun and provide warmth and shelter in spring and autumn.

    A lean to greenhouse seems to be around -u1k.
    A conservatory of equivalent size seems to start at about -u7k.

    Conservatories are designed to be part of the living accommodation and are generally UPVC double glazed.

    Greenhouses are not, but still provide warmth and shelter.

    Has anyone used a lean to greenhouse as a garden sun room?

    Cheers

    Although our victorian conservatory would be classed as a conservatory
    it is single glassed unheated and although there is a door through from
    the house it is not part of the house, we use it around 10 months of the
    year, especially on days which are breezy!
