TOMATO GREENHOUSE

Fresh tomatoes in salad, on a Mediterranean bruschetta, or simply for breakfast on a delicious bun – the nightshade plants are equally popular with young and old. Normally, we enjoy tomatoes from the supermarket or the weekly market, but they taste even better from our own garden. However, tomato plants require some specific conditions for cultivation: they are relatively sensitive and need a certain minimum temperature and a certain number of hours of sunlight per year to develop aromatic and flavourful fruits. This can be somewhat challenging in our climate.

The Hoklartherm tomato house offers the ideal solution: in our tomato greenhouse, your tomato plants are not only kept safe and protected after cultivation but also benefit from the climate conditions similar to a greenhouse. Furthermore, your new tomato house will serve as an attractive addition to your garden, as at Hoklartherm, we ensure not only practical utility but also aesthetic appeal in the design of our glass and metal garden ideas.

Tomato plants are sensitive to fluctuating temperatures, varying humidity, wind, and rain. Therefore, almost all varieties require a protected space for propagation and cultivation. Since open field cultivation is only a good option in a few cases, one should consider a tomato greenhouse for tomato cultivation. It not only provides protection from the weather, but also allows for early propagation in the spring. Furthermore, a greenhouse protects the delicate plants from pests that can quickly ruin an entire harvest. For those who are uncertain about buying a tomato greenhouse and do not know which model is best suited for their personal needs, here are tips for choosing a suitable greenhouse.

Although foil greenhouses are very affordable as tomato-greenhouses, they often fail to withstand challenging weather conditions like heavy rain or storms. While high-quality glass or impact-resistant plastic greenhouses like Bio-Varis are ideal for larger gardens as tomato greenhouses, owners of small gardens don't have to miss out on growing tomatoes in a greenhouse. Freestanding greenhouses like our “Arcus S” with sliding side panels are ideal for small gardens.

 In general, a tomato greenhouse should have a light-transmitting roof made of glass or plastic. Keep it clean at all times so that the tomatoes in the greenhouse receive sufficient light. However, in the summer, you should provide additional shading to protect the tomato plants from excessive sun exposure.

Of course, you can also build a tomato greenhouse yourself, and you can find the necessary accessories for a plexiglass tomato-greenhouse at any home improvement store. With a wooden frame and a roof and sidewalls made of double-wall panels or plexiglass, you can easily and affordably create a simple shelter for your tomato plants. However, professional solutions from specialized retailers, like our Terra BF greenhouse, are of higher quality and more durable. It is specifically designed for tomatoes and differs from a traditional greenhouse primarily in its shape: it is narrower and slightly taller. A tomato greenhouse should be at least 2 meters high. By the way, with the “Terra BF” greenhouse, you can even plant tomatoes in the city on the smallest space – even on the balcony – and enjoy a bountiful harvest. And last but not least, “Terra BF” impresses with its particularly affordable price.

A tomato greenhouse is essentially nothing more than a classic greenhouse that is primarily used for cultivating tomato plants. Such a greenhouse for tomatoes is usually narrower but sometimes slightly taller than a regular greenhouse. Of course, various other plants can also be accommodated in a small tomato greenhouse. In fact, such a tomato greenhouse is also suitable for overwintering other plants.

When constructing a tomato greenhouse, you have several options to choose from. The most cost-effective option is usually a traditional kit from a home improvement store. Such tomato greenhouses are mostly made of plastic film and are far from stable. With some luck, a plastic film tomato greenhouse may last for one season. However, often just one storm is enough to destroy a plastic film greenhouse. On the other hand, those who opt for a durable greenhouse for their plants should construct their tomato greenhouse in a stable manner. At Hoklartherm, we offer individual and tailor-made solutions, but we also have proven classics in our range. You select a tomato greenhouse according to your taste, and we bring your idea to life.

If you want to buy a tomato greenhouse, you should definitely consider the exact dimensions. This applies not only to a tomato greenhouse, but of course to all types of greenhouses, such as our freestanding greenhouse or our balcony greenhouse.

By the way, a practical and high-quality solution is our mobile tomato greenhouse “TERRA BF”, which offers a particularly favourable overall price. The tomato greenhouse has a height of 2.30 meters and allows for directly planting tomato plants into the ground.
