Follow the sun and maximise light levels with our mini greenhouses on wheels. Both models are manufactured in the UK by Access with rust-proof aluminium frames, 4mm toughened safety glass, and lockable castors. Roll your plants to the sunniest spot on your patio, then lock the wheels and let them grow.
Two models available: the compact Growhouse at £599 and the taller Mini Greenhouse at £799. Both include a built-in mist watering system and a 25-year warranty. Free UK mainland delivery.
Our mini greenhouses on wheels are both manufactured in the UK by Access, a specialist in compact aluminium greenhouses. Unlike cheap poly-cover grow houses, these are proper aluminium-framed units with 4mm toughened safety glass, lockable castors, and built-in mist watering systems. The wheels let you chase sunlight across your patio or balcony, then lock in position once you've found the perfect spot.
Both models suit patios, balconies, courtyards, and small gardens where a permanent greenhouse won't fit. They're also ideal for gardeners who rent and can't install a fixed structure. If you prefer a stationary unit, browse our mini greenhouses collection or our wall-mounted mini greenhouses for fixed options.
Why We Chose This Range
"I picked Access for our wheeled greenhouses because they're the only manufacturer building proper aluminium-and-glass mobile units. Everything else on the market in this category is flimsy poly covers on steel tubes. These Access models have the same toughened glass and aluminium frame quality as their static range, just mounted on lockable castors. The built-in mist watering system is a genuine bonus — it keeps humidity right without you having to hand-water twice a day in summer. I've had customers use these on balcony gardens for five years and they still look new."
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse StoresThe compact option. At 1000mm wide, 530mm deep, and 1030mm high, the Growhouse sits at table height — ideal for seed starting, herbs, and salad leaves. Slatted wooden base, two adjustable seed tray shelves, sliding doors on front and top. Available in 7 colours. Priced at £599.
The taller model. At 800mm wide, 590mm deep, and 1550mm high, the Mini Greenhouse gives you more vertical growing space with a toughened glass centre shelf and two adjustable seed tray shelves. 2-tier mist watering system, sliding doors front and top. Priced at £799.

Tip: The main advantage of wheels is chasing sunlight. In spring, position your greenhouse in full sun to warm seedlings. In high summer, roll it to partial shade during the hottest part of the day to prevent scorching. In autumn, move it against a south-facing wall to capture residual warmth and extend your growing season by 3-4 weeks.

Matt's Pick for Mini Greenhouses on WheelsBest For: Balcony gardeners and patio growers who want serious growing capacity Why I Recommend It: The taller model gives you nearly twice the vertical growing space. The glass centre shelf means you can run two levels of plants plus seed trays on top. The 2-tier mist watering system keeps everything hydrated without daily attention. At 1550mm high, it holds enough for a genuine crop of herbs, chillies, and salad leaves. Price: £799 |
These units don't need a base like a traditional greenhouse — the lockable castors sit directly on any flat, hard surface. Paving, concrete, decking, or a level patio all work. Avoid soft ground like grass or gravel where the wheels will sink. Always lock all four castors once positioned. In exposed spots, park the unit against a wall or fence for wind protection. The aluminium frame and toughened glass can handle normal weather, but the lightweight design means you should avoid leaving it in a fully exposed, unsheltered position during storms. Our positioning guide covers sunlight and shelter in detail.
Both models include free UK mainland delivery. The compact Growhouse costs £599 and the taller Mini Greenhouse costs £799. Both come with Access's industry-leading 25-year warranty on the aluminium frame. These are UK-manufactured units with the same build quality as Access's static mini greenhouse range.
If you need more growing space than a wheeled unit can offer, consider our 2x3 mini greenhouses for static lean-to options, or our mini lean-to greenhouses with backs for freestanding units. For the smallest gardens, our guide on greenhouses for small gardens covers all the compact options. New to greenhouse growing? Start with our beginner's greenhouse guide.
We sell two models: the Access Growhouse at £599 and the Mini Greenhouse at £799. Both are premium UK-manufactured aluminium units with toughened safety glass, lockable castors, and built-in mist watering systems. Both include free UK mainland delivery and a 25-year warranty.
Yes, both models have four lockable castors that hold the unit firmly in place. The aluminium frame and toughened glass handle normal British weather without issue. For extra stability in exposed spots, park the unit against a wall or fence. In severe storms, you can quickly wheel it into a sheltered position — that's the whole point of having wheels.
Herbs, salad leaves, chillies, strawberries, and seedling propagation work best. The compact Growhouse suits seed trays and small pots across its two adjustable shelves. The taller Mini Greenhouse handles larger plants on three levels. Both models maintain temperatures 5-10°C above ambient, extending your growing season into early spring and late autumn.
Any flat, hard surface works — paving, concrete, decking, or a level patio. Avoid grass, gravel, or soft ground where the castors will sink. The units don't need a foundation or base preparation. Just wheel them into position on a flat surface and lock the castors.
Both models include an integrated mist watering system that connects to a standard garden hose. It delivers a fine spray across the shelves, keeping humidity levels consistent without waterlogging. The taller Mini Greenhouse has a 2-tier system covering upper and lower shelves independently. Run it for 2-3 minutes morning and evening in summer for best results.
You'll need a Phillips screwdriver and about 1-2 hours. Both Access models arrive flat-packed with pre-drilled aluminium sections and clear instructions. The toughened glass panels slot into channels in the frame. The castors bolt onto the base. One person can assemble either model, though a second pair of hands makes handling the glass easier.
The Growhouse is wider and shorter (1000x530x1030mm), the Mini Greenhouse is narrower and taller (800x590x1550mm). The Growhouse works best at table height for seed starting and herbs. The Mini Greenhouse gives you more vertical growing space with three shelf levels including a toughened glass centre shelf. Both share the same aluminium frame, toughened glass, lockable castors, and 25-year warranty.
