About Our Janssens Modern Pent Roof Greenhouses
Janssens Modern Pent Roof Greenhouses bring Belgian engineering excellence to UK gardens with their distinctive single-slope design. Manufactured since 1946 in their 6,500sqm facility in Lier, Belgium, these premium structures combine box-section aluminium frames with 4mm toughened safety glass that’s six times stronger than standard glazing. The pent roof design creates exceptional headroom—perfect for taller plants and comfortable working space—while offering efficient water runoff through integrated gutters with 40mm aluminium downpipes.
You’ll find models ranging from the compact Janssens Modern 8x10 to the spacious Janssens Modern 10x20, with 2ft extension options available to grow with your needs. Every greenhouse includes two automatic roof vents, one hinged side vent, and double sliding doors as standard. Choose from silver, green, or black powder-coated frames to suit your garden aesthetic. Backed by a 13-year warranty and free UK delivery, these greenhouses represent serious investment in year-round growing space.

Choosing Your Janssens Modern Pent Roof Greenhouse
Size selection depends on your available space and growing ambitions. The 8ft-wide models (8x10 through 8x20) work brilliantly for standard UK gardens, while the 10ft-wide range (10x10 through 10x20) suits dedicated growers who need commercial-grade space. The pent roof provides full standing height—typically 7ft or more—making it ideal for walls, fences, or alongside buildings.
| Model Series | Width | Best For | Typical Lengths |
|---|---|---|---|
| Janssens Modern 8ft | 8' 6" | Standard UK gardens, fitting against walls | 10ft, 12ft, 14ft, 16ft, 18ft, 20ft |
| Janssens Modern 10ft | 10' 6" | Dedicated growers, nursery space | 10ft, 12ft, 14ft, 16ft, 18ft, 20ft |
Frame colour impacts both aesthetics and longevity. The powder-coated green and black finishes blend beautifully with UK gardens and include a protective coating that extends frame life. Silver aluminium offers a contemporary look and natural corrosion resistance. All options include the same robust construction quality. Prices start from £7,399 for the 8x10 model, rising to £10,799 for larger configurations.
