Wood is easy to work with, making it a great option for DIY greenhouse construction. Many garden enthusiasts appreciate wood for being a natural material. Greenhouse film can be simply nailed onto it; however, such plant shelters are neither stormproof nor winterproof. Wooden structures need to be relatively robust to be stable enough, especially if using twin-wall sheets or glass instead of film. Additionally, wood suffers from high humidity combined with warmth. To extend its limited lifespan, wood needs to be regularly painted and/or treated with wood preservatives; only biological products should be used in a greenhouse setting. For those who still prefer wood for their greenhouse, choosing durable native wood like larch is advisable.
