4x6 greenhouses provide the perfect balance between compact size and productive growing space, making them ideal for small gardens and beginner gardeners. These 4ft x 6ft structures offer 24 square feet of growing area whilst requiring minimal garden space - just 7ft x 8ft including essential access clearance.

Perfect for growing 6-8 tomato plants, continuous herbs, salad leaves, and seedling propagation, a 4x6 greenhouse can produce ?200-300 worth of fresh vegetables annually. The rectangular design provides excellent staging opportunities and efficient use of space, with room for two-tier growing systems and hanging baskets.

Our 4x6 greenhouse range features robust aluminium frames designed to withstand British weather, with options for horticultural glass or twin-wall polycarbonate glazing. These greenhouses include essential ventilation systems and are supplied with comprehensive assembly instructions for straightforward installation.

Ideal for those wanting more growing space than a 4x4 greenhouse but working within limited garden space. Browse our complete small greenhouse collection or consider our 6x4 greenhouses for alternative compact options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space do I need for a 4x6 greenhouse?

A 4x6 greenhouse requires approximately 7ft x 8ft of total space including 18-inch clearance on three sides for maintenance access. This makes it perfect for gardens as small as 12ft x 10ft.

What can I grow in a 4x6 greenhouse?

A 4x6 greenhouse can accommodate 6-8 tomato plants, a full herb garden, continuous salad leaves, peppers, and seedling propagation. With staging systems, you can grow plants on multiple levels to maximise space.

Should I choose 4x6 or 6x4 greenhouse?

Choose 4x6 if you have a narrow garden or prefer working along one long side. Choose 6x4 if you have a square space and want central path access. Both offer the same 24 square feet of growing area.

How much does a 4x6 greenhouse cost to run?

Running costs vary from ?20-40 annually for unheated seasonal growing, or ?60-120 for frost protection heating. Most 4x6 greenhouses pay for themselves within 2-3 years through fresh produce savings.
