Swallow Cygnet Greenhouse

About Our Swallow Cygnet Greenhouses

The Swallow Cygnet collection represents the pinnacle of traditional British timber design. These Swallow Cygnet Greenhouses are defined by their unique T-shape layout, featuring a 2ft deep central porch that creates a classic "Orangery" aesthetic. Built with a high 5ft 8” eaves height, they provide ample headroom and superior air circulation for your plants.

Each model, from the compact Swallow Cygnet 6x11 to the expansive Swallow Cygnet 6x19, is constructed using Thermowood timber. This heat-treated wood is remarkably resistant to rot and warping. At Greenhouse Stores, we have sold Swallow buildings for over 15 years and include FREE INSTALLATION on every order. You can secure your greenhouse with just a 20% deposit, paying the balance only after our expert team has completed the install in your garden.

Choosing Your Swallow Cygnet Greenhouse

Finding the right Swallow Cygnet Greenhouse depends on your garden layout and growing goals. The 6ft 8” width remains constant, but you can choose lengths ranging from 11ft to nearly 20ft. For those looking for a traditional brick-base aesthetic, the Swallow Cygnet Dwarf Wall is an excellent choice, while the standard models feature 12mm tongue-and-groove boarding with a 20mm PVC damp barrier to protect the frame.

Available finishes include a natural Oiled Finish or a choice of 10 stylish paint colours, such as Swallow Cygnet Painted Finish options in Lily White or Bracken. Prices start from £8,934. If you are looking for other styles, you can also browse our full range of Wooden Greenhouses or explore different T-Shaped Wooden Greenhouses.

Key Features of the Cygnet Range

Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does a Swallow Cygnet Greenhouse cost?

  The Swallow Cygnet range starts at £8,934 for the 6x11 model, with premium larger versions or custom painted finishes reaching up to £9,750. This price is inclusive of the timber frame, toughened glass, staging, and our professional UK installation service.

• What makes the Swallow Cygnet T-shape design unique?

  The T-shape design features a central porch perpendicular to the main growing wings. This creates an "Orangery" look and allows for better organisation, where you can use the porch for potting and the wings for different plant varieties. It is a popular choice for those seeking greenhouses for sale with a Victorian flair.

• Does ThermoWood require annual treatment or maintenance?

  ThermoWood is highly resistant to decay and does not require annual chemical treatments. While the timber will naturally silver over time, you can apply a UV-protective oil or choose a factory-painted finish to maintain the original colour. It is a top choice for a low maintenance wooden greenhouse.

• What are the base requirements for a Swallow Cygnet?

  You must provide a flat, level, and true structural base, such as concrete or paving slabs. Because of the T-shape, the perimeter must be exact to support the porch and wings. For detailed instructions, see our guide on how to build a concrete greenhouse base.

• What is included in the "Free Installation" service?

  Our expert team will assemble the entire structure, including the frame, glazing, and staging, directly onto your prepared base. This service is included in the price, saving you the complexity of a DIY build. Once installed, check our What To Grow Beginners Guide to start your planting.
