A Minimum Layout, Not A Structural Design
Tape the calculated footprint on the site. Walk the paths, simulate the door and reserve space for irrigation, vents, heat or a potting bench. Then verify exterior dimensions, foundation, setbacks and manufacturer documentation.
Questions About The Greenhouse Size Calculator
Does The Result Include A Potting Bench Or Heater?
No. Increase the bed count or clearances to reserve equipment space, then verify the exact interior dimensions and door swing of the kit.
Is The Calculated Size A Structural Recommendation?
No. It is a layout estimate, not engineering, code, wind-load, snow-load or foundation advice.
