# Is a knee wall required?

## No, a knee wall is not required but often a great feature!

A knee wall is a short wall constructed around the greenhouse perimeter. This feature is entirely optional however many of our customers choose to have their greenhouse placed on a knee wall  for additional height inside their greenhouse. We can easily accommodate this when you place an order.
