LOCATION
Choosing the proper location is an important step before you begin. The
following suggestions and precautions will help determine whether your
selected location is the best location.
• Never erect structure under power lines.
• Identify whether underground cables and pipes are present
before
preparing site or anchoring structure.
• Location should be away from structures that could cause snow to drift
on or around building.
• Do not position greenhouse where large loads such as snow and ice,
large tree branches, or other overhead obstacles could fall.
•
Always check local building codes before you begin and follow them
during construction.
SITE

following site characteristics will help ensure structure integrity.

should drain away to prevent damage to the site, the structure, and
structure contents.
