Was waiting for over a week for delivery from order date but apparently this is the norm with this company so be aware if you want it quick - delivered well boxed- no damage- no parts missing - husband assembled by himself and found it easy - couldn't find a small compact one like this on other websites and if available on other sites no shelves available which we feel you need - overall very pleased with purchasing method and product - enclosed pictures so other customers can gauge storage

Greenhouse Stores were the answer to my prayers. Amazing people who went above and beyond to satisfy my requirments and to ensure that I was happy with everything from ordering to having the Greenhouse put up. Top class from start to finish and wouldnt ever go anywhere else.

Very easy to order delivered on time and answered questions quickly not erected yet

Great purchase. Super delivery as arranged and very well handled. The only criticism is that the vents fall out easily when opening so we will need to secure them.

We were looking for some shelving for our greenhouse. It's funny how garden centred don't sell extras. Of course I thought my husband wanted the wooden slat type of shelving, but when he saw yours, that's just what he wanted. We have had our greenhouse over 30 years. Now we are both retired spending more time growing our own from seed. Thank you, as they say up north, jobs a good one.

We found Greenhouse Stores to be very good. The delivery came on time and the driver was very helpful.
The greenhouse we ordered was on sale for a very good price and manufactured to a good standard.
We put the greenhouse up ourselves and we're able to follow the instructions and diagrams pretty well.
All in all we are very pleased.

Read Guide →Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Greenhouse
-
What size greenhouse should I buy?
Start with the exact level base area available and leave enough room around the greenhouse for installation, cleaning and maintenance. A 6ft by 8ft greenhouse gives many hobby gardeners room for staging on both sides and a central path, but the best size depends on your site and growing plans. Our Greenhouse Buyers Guide explains the trade-offs.
-
Do I need planning permission for a greenhouse?
In England, many domestic greenhouses qualify as permitted development, subject to limits including their position, height, proximity to boundaries and the amount of land covered by outbuildings. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and extra restrictions can apply to listed buildings and designated land. Check the Planning Portal guidance and your local planning authority before ordering.
-
How much does a greenhouse cost in the UK?
Prices vary substantially with size, frame material, glazing, colour and manufacturer. Each product page shows the current price for the selected specification. Allow separately for base preparation, optional accessories and installation where required.
-
What's the difference between aluminium and wooden greenhouses?
Aluminium frames are generally slim, low-maintenance and available in a wide range of sizes and glazing options. Wooden greenhouses have a more traditional appearance and thicker frame sections, but require different maintenance. Compare the warranty, glazing, ventilation and installation requirements of the specific models rather than relying on a fixed percentage difference.
-
Do you offer greenhouse installation?
Professional installation is available on many freestanding greenhouse models. Eligibility and price are shown with the product options. A suitable flat, level base must be ready before installation; groundwork is not included. Call 0800 098 8877 if you want us to check a particular model.
-
How long does greenhouse delivery take?
Delivery time depends on the manufacturer, model, specification and current stock position. Use the estimate on the product page as the current guide. Free delivery is available on eligible UK mainland greenhouse orders, while some locations may incur a surcharge.

Matt's Tip: Get Your Base Right First
A greenhouse needs a flat, solid and level base built to the dimensions specified for that model. An uneven or incorrectly sized base can prevent doors and panels from aligning correctly. Plan the base before installation and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Our step-by-step guide can help: How to Prepare a Greenhouse Base.
Whether you're a first-time buyer looking at a small lean-to greenhouse or an experienced grower upgrading to a large wooden greenhouse, our Greenhouse Buyers Guide will help you choose the right model for your garden, your budget, and your growing plans.
