It may happen that a greenhouse in a summer house collapses in winter due to the weight of snow.

After all, not every gardener has the opportunity to always arrive on time and clear the territory and buildings from snow.

Therefore, you should not save on the construction of a greenhouse. It is important that the structure is reliable and strong, in this case it will serve for many years. For example, if you choose polycarbonate 4 mm thick, then you need to install stiffening ribs more often.

Polycarbonate can also quickly deteriorate if the greenhouse is not cleaned of snow properly.

Experts say that you shouldn't use metal objects for this or scrape the surface, so as not to ruin the material. It's much better to use a regular wooden mop for this.

Some gardeners also debate whether it is worth leaving the greenhouse doors open during the winter.

Some people decide to do this to freeze the greenhouse from diseases and pests. But it is important to remember that in strong winds the door can be broken.
