Fig. — Cross SectionAttached & Lean-to
Attached Even-Span Greenhouse
  • 01Attached to a host building at one gable end rather than along a wall.
  • 02Rafters of equal length on each side of the ridge — accommodates 2–3 rows of plant benches.
  • 03More design flexibility than a lean-to, at higher cost.
  • 04More exposed glass area than a lean-to, which increases heating cost.
