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!
