Mini Greenhouses on Wheels
About Our Mini Greenhouses on Wheels 🛒
Maximize your growing potential in limited spaces with our collection of Mini Greenhouses on Wheels. Also known as portable grow houses or mobile cold frames, these versatile units are designed for gardeners who need flexibility. The primary benefit of a wheeled greenhouse is the ability to "chase the sun" ☀️ across your patio or balcony, ensuring your seedlings and plants get optimal light throughout the day. Conversely, if a frost is forecast or temperatures soar, you can simply roll your plants to a sheltered or shaded spot.
Our range features sturdy frames equipped with heavy-duty locking castors, ensuring stability once positioned. Whether you are looking for a compact solution for vertical growing or a wider unit for tomato bags, we have options to suit your needs. Key features include UV-stabilised covers to prevent scorching, roll-up zipped doors for ventilation, and rust-resistant frames. With Free UK Delivery and Fast Delivery within 5 Days on many items, you can start your mobile garden immediately. Browse our wider range of Small Greenhouses to see stationary alternatives if mobility isn't your priority.
Choosing Your Mini Greenhouse on Wheels 🤔
Selecting the right Mini Greenhouse on Wheels depends on your available space and what you intend to grow. If you are restricted to a small balcony, a 2x3 Mini Greenhouse unit or a vertical 4-tier model is ideal, offering a small footprint but ample height for multiple trays.
For larger patios, you might prefer wider 2x4 Mini Greenhouses or even 3x6 Mini Greenhouses which offer greater stability and floor space for taller crops like peppers or tomatoes 🍅.
Material choice is also important. Most mobile units feature lightweight tubular steel or aluminium frames with reinforced polyethylene or PVC covers. These are cost-effective and easy to move. Prices generally start around £35 for basic tiered models, rising to £250 for premium Mini Lean To Greenhouses With Backs or sturdier Grow Houses adapted for mobility.
If you need extra workspace for potting up seedlings before placing them in your unit, consider pairing your purchase with our Greenhouse Staging.

- 📏 Removable Shelves: Allows you to accommodate taller plants as they grow.
- 🔄 Replacement Covers: Ensure you can refresh your greenhouse if the cover weathers over time.
- 🏗️ Integral Bases: Some premium models include bases for added rigidity.
Frequently Asked Questions about Mini Greenhouses on Wheels
-
Are mini greenhouses on wheels stable in the wind?
Yes, provided you use the locking castors (brakes) on the wheels. For added security in high winds 💨, we recommend placing the unit against a wall or weighting the bottom shelf with heavy pots or bricks.
-
Can I replace the cover on my portable greenhouse?
Yes, most of our Small Greenhouses and portable units have replacement covers available. This extends the life of your frame significantly, allowing you to replace just the outer shell if it becomes damaged by weather or UV exposure.
-
How much weight can the shelves hold?
Standard wire mesh shelves on tiered units typically hold between 8kg to 10kg per shelf, which is sufficient for seed trays and small pots. For heavier pots, place them on the base level or use reinforced Greenhouse Staging.
-
Do these greenhouses require tools to assemble?
Generally, no 🛠️. Most portable greenhouses utilise a push-fit tubular frame system that requires no tools for assembly. Premium metal or wooden cold frames may require a screwdriver, but instructions are always clear and simple.
-
How much do mini greenhouses on wheels cost?
Our range is affordable, with prices starting from £35 for compact tiered units. Larger, heavy-duty mobile models or premium Mini Lean To Greenhouses With Backs can range up to £250 depending on materials and size.
-
What is the best location for a mobile greenhouse?
A south-facing patio or balcony is ideal for maximum light. The beauty of a mobile unit is that you can move it as the seasons change, keeping it in full sun during spring and moving it to partial shade in high summer.
