Why we chose this range
"Choose Janssens for closed box-section aluminium framing and toughened glass. Choose Norhage Lite for impregnated Swedish pine and twin-wall polycarbonate."
Matt, Founder of Greenhouse Stores
Tip: Mark the greenhouse footprint beside your wall before ordering. Check that the chosen length leaves access to the doorway and surrounding area.
Matt's installation tip
Before fitting, we recommend checking that the supporting wall is straight, square and suitable for secure fixings. Check the base is level across the whole footprint. Resolve wall or base irregularities before assembly.
Matt's pick: Janssens Arcadia 5x7
Best for: a compact aluminium lean-to, with the smallest footprint in the Janssens range.
Why it stands out: strong closed box-section aluminium framing and 4mm full-length toughened safety glass. It has a base plinth, low-threshold single sliding door and roof ventilation. Rubber glazing gaskets, gutters and 40mm downpipes are included.
Price: £3,440.
