Select your Glazing:

Which glass do I need?

Horticultural Glass

This is standard greenhouse glass with 2' x 2' panes that overlap and join with S clips. This glass breaks into shards.

Toughend Glass

Recommended! Toughened Glass is much stronger than Horticultural glass and won't crack. If it does break it disintegrates into hundreds of small pieces.

Polycarbonate Glazing

Polycarbonate Glazing is ideal for family gardens where safety is the No 1 priority. It's virtually unbreakable and won't shatter.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What base would be best for my Greenhouse?

    For your greenhouse to thrive, it needs a solid foundation. Here are our top picks:

    Paving Slabs: A classic choice! They're easy to lay and provide excellent drainage.

    Concrete Base: Want something ultra-sturdy? A concrete base is your go-to option. It's long-lasting and provides a super-level surface.

    Decking: Yes, you can use decking! Just make sure it's robust and as flat as a pancake.

    Remember, a great base sets the stage for years of happy gardening. So take your time and get it right - your future plants will thank you!

    Now, this depends on what type you've chosen:

    • Ordered horticultural glass? It'll come neatly boxed up.
    • Opted for full pane toughened glass? Each sheet will arrive individually wrapped for extra protection.

How to Prepare the Ground for a Greenhouse Base

How to Prepare the Ground for a Greenhouse Base

A solid base is the backbone of any greenhouse. You might think skipping this step saves time, but trust me?I've seen plenty of greenhouses fail because of poor foundations. A dodgy base causes more headaches than you'd believe.

What happens with a bad base? Glass cracks. Doors jam. The structure twists. Water pools where it shouldn't. And fixing these problems costs way more than doing it right first time.

Best Position for a Greenhouse UK

Best Position for a Greenhouse UK

Placing your greenhouse in the right spot makes all the difference between thriving plants and disappointing results. As a greenhouse specialist who's spent 15 years helping UK gardeners optimise their growing spaces, I've seen first-hand how position affects everything from temperature regulation to plant health.

Let me share what actually works in our unique British climate. The greenhouse position might seem like a minor detail, but it's one of those things that can make or break your growing success. I made this mistake myself when I first started - my poorly positioned greenhouse meant I was fighting an uphill battle with inadequate light and temperature fluctuations.
