Ordering a greenhouse from BC Greenhouse Builders is an exciting milestone. But what happens next? Your order sets the stage for building a structure that will transform they way you garden, extend your growing season, and give you more control over your plants' environment. Once your order is placed, there are a few important steps to take that will make the entire process smoother.

## How Do You Review Your Greenhouse Order Details?

The first step after ordering is to carefully review the details of your purchase. Double-check:

- The size and dimensions of your greenhouse
- Glazing type (single glass, double glass, polycarbonate)
- Placement of doors and vents
- Accessories you've included (shade cloth, fans, heaters)

BC Greenhouse Builders will send you all of this information in your order paperwork. Reviewing it now allows time to catch small adjustments before production begins. If you see something that doesn't match what you had in mind, reach out to your greenhouse expert right away.

If you catch something you would like changed on your greenhouse order after it moves to production though, don't worry! Most of the time BCG can accommodate changes. A small change order fee may apply though depending how far along we are in building your greenhouse.

## What Should You Do to Prepare Your Greenhouse Site

Preparing your foundation is the most important task once your greenhouse order is confirmed. For BC Greenhouse Builders greenhouses, the foundation type is chosen at the time of order and must be built exactly to those specifications. This means:

- You must build the exact foundation specifications you selected when finalizing your greenhouse with a BC Greenhouse Sales Rep.
- BCG provides foundation drawings with precise measurements and placement details.
- **Accuracy matters! **If your greenhouse foundation is slightly off, your door may not close properly, or the frame may not fit.

For this reason, we recommend working with a contractor if you're not confident in your ability to pour or build to spec. Take this opportunity to also consider site factors such as water access, drainage and electricity. Prepping utilities now will save time and effort later.

## How Do You Plan for Delivery and Installation?

All BC Greenhouse Builders greenhouses, unless delivered locally, are carefully crated and shipped by freight to ensure they arrive safely. That means delivery takes some time. Here's what to expect:

- **Delivery timelines: **Your paperwork will include lead times and estimated ship dates.
- **DIY vs. professional installation: **Decide early if you plan to build yourself, hire a contractor, or use a BC Greenhouse Builders Certified Installer.
- **Site access: **Make sure delivery trucks and, if necessary, installation crews can access your property.
- **Safe storage:** If your greenhouse arrives before your foundation is ready, store the materials in a dry, secure place until construction begins.

## What Accessories Should You Consider For Your Greenhouse?

Accessories can make your greenhouse more comfortable and functional. Ordering them early ensures they'll be ready when your greenhouse is built. Consider:

- **Climate control: **Roof vents, exhaust fans, heaters, shade systems
- **Growing aids:** shelves, benches, potting tables, irrigation systems
- **Convenience: **Automatic vent openers, misting kits, LED grow lights

These additions can be installed right away or phased in over time, but it's easier to plan for them before you start growing.

## How Can You Plan Your First Greenhouse Growing Season?

Think about your growing goals now so you're ready to plant as soon as your greenhouse is complete:

- Will you use your greenhouse for year-round food production or as a season extension?
- Are you planning to grow vegetables, flowers or tropicals?
- How will your local climate affect your planting schedule?

Creating a simple seed-starting or planting calendar will help guide your first season.
