Default Placement of greenhouse?

People who run hot houses also cover them or spray a lime based
whitewash over them in summer time. Rain can remove it though.
Set it up in front of a north facing wall in winter time to stop the
cold winter blasts.
Try and prevent it being blown away by using those steel star pickets
used by farmers, or similar wood stakes.

My thoughts are to align it east-west (that is the longest sides) so
you harvest as much sunlight in winter as possible.

Thanks Richard - I thought maybe that but I wondered if it'd get TOO hot
out of winter times - I guess that wouldn't matter, huh, with the
humidity it'd create?
