Greenhouses For Schools
Our School Greenhouse range is specifically curated for educational environments, prioritising student safety and structural durability. We supply nurseries, primary schools, and universities with British-made structures featuring shatterproof polycarbonate for maximum impact safety or toughened safety glass for superior wind resistance. Engineered to withstand high-traffic use, these kits include low-threshold entry as standard to ensure easy access for all students.
🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: Glazing Security & Base Prep
For school environments, safety and wind resistance are paramount. We recommend Bar Capping for all educational greenhouses; this system uses a full-length capping to hold the glazing firmly in the frame, making it far less likely to blow out in storms or fall out if a student leans against it.
Crucially, our installers require a perfectly level, hard-standing base to ensure the structure remains safe and the doors slide smoothly. We recommend following our specific guides for a Paving Slab Base or a Concrete Base before your installation date.
Why We Chose This Range
"We've been supplying UK schools since 2012, and we only select models that offer No-Trip Doorways. In a busy playground, a traditional high-step threshold is a trip hazard and a barrier to inclusion. By focusing on 8ft wide models with double doors, we ensure there is comfortable, safe access for wheelchair users and groups of children to work together inside."
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse StoresFrequently Asked Questions for Schools
Are these greenhouses wheelchair accessible?Yes. We only offer greenhouse models to schools that feature Low Threshold Entrances or "No Trip Doorways." This design removes the high metal rail found on standard greenhouses, providing a flat entry purely for safety and ease of wheelchair access.
What size greenhouse is best for a school?While we offer widths from 6ft, we recommend a minimum width of 8ft for educational settings. An 8ft wide structure with double doors provides the necessary clearance for wheelchair users and allows enough internal space for a teacher and a small group of students to move around safely.
Can schools pay via Purchase Order (PO)?Yes. We understand the procurement process for local authorities. We accept official purchase orders from all UK schools, colleges, and universities. Contact us on 0800 098 8877 for a formal quote for your bursar.
