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!

  • How is the greenhouse packaged?

    The Frame and Base: Imagine long, slim parcels (shoe boxes, but longer) - that's how your greenhouse frame and base will arrive. We pack them snugly in sturdy cardboard boxes to keep everything safe and sound during their journey to 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.

    We take extra care to ensure every piece of your green haven reaches you in perfect condition. It's like a jigsaw puzzle waiting to be put together!

  • Where will I find the Assembly Instructions?

    The instructions will be in the box with your greenhouse frame.

  • What vehicles do you deliver in?

    We bring your greenhouse dreams to life using our trusty Class II 15-ton lorries. Picture a furniture removal van, and you've got the right idea. These big friendly giants ensure your greenhouse arrives safe and sound.

    But wait! Does your driveway have a tricky turn? Or perhaps a low-hanging tree branch? No worries! If you think there might be any access hiccups, just give us a ring. Our team loves a good problem-solving challenge!

    ? Call us on 0800 098 8877 for a chat about your delivery needs. We're all ears and ready to find the perfect solution for you.

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
