which way should it face

Been given a green house some glass missing dismantle and move with help from family..

The neighbours say it should go north/south but due to limits on the site it may need to go east/west'ish am likley to have problems.

What do the experts here recommend.

 

For my twopenny worth, should be fine whatever the position as long as it has light and is not overshadowed by buildings or trees. The long side facing north/south gets the most sunlight in winter, but in summer needs shading. The short sides facing north/south just means that you have to more carefull positioning your plants - and turning them.

I shall be interested in what others say

 

yes def avoid shade
otherwise i d put it where it looks natural... a little path leading to a feature.....also a cold frame will double your plant raising cabability
