  Greenhouses can be constructed by various materials, Frames can get wood, aluminium or material, the glazing can end up with either glass or plastic panes. The eventual choice of material will depend on the following factors:
  
  

  
  
  1. How you will want the greenhouse trend.
  
  
  2. How much money you ought to spend on it.
  
  
  3. How much time you ought to spend keeping it with decent condition.
  
  

  
  Composition
  
  The frame of a greenhouse may be wooden, aluminium alloy or galvanised steel. The advantages and disadvantages of each one are detailed below.
  
  Wooden
  
  Pros
  
  

  
  
  • Traditional
  
  
  • Attractive appearance
  
  
  • Hardwoods which include cedar retain their colors well, will not warp easily and are rot-resistant
  
  

  Downsides
  
  

  
  
  • Expensive
  
  
  • Heavy when constructing
  
  
  • Timber besides hardwoods must be pressure-treated using preservative and painted regularly to counteract rot
  
  

  
  Aluminum Alloy
  
  Experts
  
  

  
  
  • Maintenance-free
  
  
  • Narrower eyeglasses than wooden greenhouses, taking into account larger panes of a glass and better light transmission
  
  

  Cons
  
  

  
  
  • May very well be considered less attractive than wooden structures
  
  
  • Slightly reduced retention of heat compared with wooden frames
  
  

  
  Galvanised Material
  
  Pros
  
  

  
  
  • Light and easy to build
  
  
  • Very strong
  
  
  • Cheaper as compared to timber or aluminium frames
  
  
  • Narrower eyeglasses than wooden greenhouses, allowing for larger panes of glass and better light transmission
  
  

  Cons
  
  

  
  
  • May very well be considered less attractive as compared to wooden structures
  
  
  • Slightly reduced retention of heat compared with wooden frames
  
  
  • Has to be treated regularly to stop rust
  
  

  
  Greenhouse Glazing
  
  Greenhouses may be glazed using glass or plastics such as polycarbonate or acrylic. The best choice in general is horticultural glass; this is thinner and less expensive than ordinary glass, but allows excellent light transmission. The advantages it has over plastic materials include improved heat retention, ease of cleaning and the reality that it will not discolour. However, it is more fragile than plastic glazing, and any cracked or broken panes has to be replaced immediately to ensure that heat in the greenhouse is not really lost. Most local glass retailers will cut replacement panes to size at a reasonable cost. Just make sure that you measure the glass accurately and that there is enough clearance for the glass to touch base with the mounting process.
  
  Plastic panes don't last for as long and are more costly than glass, and may become scratched and discoloured after a while. Not only is the following unsightly, but it will also reduce the quality of light that they are able to transmit.
  
  Acrylic may be shaped easily, and making it very good for producing panes for curved buildings. 4mm polycarbonate sheet
