As growing your own food becomes more popular, many of our customers are first-time buyers. The right choice depends on your space and family needs:
If you have children or pets, a polycarbonate greenhouse is a safe, shatterproof option. However, for windy locations, we always recommend toughened safety glass. It is rigid, heavy, and the best choice for clarity and durability.
Aluminium greenhouses (like our Elite range) are low-maintenance and available in colours like green, black, or silver. If you prefer a traditional look, our Swallow Wooden Greenhouses are manufactured in Yorkshire and include free installation. They are heavy, robust, and ideal for exposed or coastal gardens.
Worried about building it yourself? Don't be. We offer a nationwide installation service. If you live in Northern Ireland, we even ship Halls and Eden models for free! We also stock all the greenhouse staging and shelving you need to get started.
