Greenhouse Style

[Alan Sailer]

I am thinking about building/buying a small greenhouse and am having trouble deciding on what style. The two types I am looking at are wood lattice or "classic" plastic glassed greenhouse. Small means big enough for a few dozen plants.

The location is Southern California with my chief worry being the hot dry Santa Anna conditions.

The advantage of the greenhouse would be the ability to do temperature control. I would hope a evap cooler could help weather the Santa Anas. And a small heater could
help with the very rare freeze.

The advantage of the wood lattice would be easier to build, prettier and good ventilation.

Is there anything I am missing or other advice?

Cheers.
