A roof covered with flowers and greenery will add a portion of romance to the whole house. The 3 windows are enough to ensure ventilation. On the big boxes i mainly planted tomatoes lettuce and other herbs and on the small buckets i mainly planted herbs such as mint peppermint cilantro and basil. Related to the roof slope is the freeboard the space between the lowest point of the roof and the ground.

The two most common framing materials are wood and metal. The most popular in suburban villages is a gable roof. When choosing a greenhouse select a greenhouse style that matches the design of your home and the layout of your garden. When you design a greenhouse you want a structure that will protect your seedlings or plants and provide them with the warmth they need.

And last here is a simple greenhouse design with a sloped roof that allows water to fall on the ground. A greenhouse can have a flat roof but typically curved or arched designs are more common. Light must get in transparent plastic or cheap glass.

On the roof of the building where i live there are cyclonic mesh cages which correspond to each flat and are intended to dry clothes. I decided to repurpose mine as an urban greenhouse. In the design of flat roofs many use a new original direction landscaping.
