Installation requires that you purchase the Base Plinth Option if one is available. You MUST have a surface of slabs, concrete or decking. NOT soil or gravel.
The Vitavia Apollo Black 8x6 Greenhouse with toughened glass is the most widely used size in UK gardens. It`s practical and attractive as it`s Black powder coated finish lets it blend into the garden surroundings effortlessly .
The new Apollo model has a unique low threshold entry point due to it`s built in base plinth that runs around the perimeter of the greenhouse. This both provides great stiffness and rigidity to the structure and makes coming in and out of the greenhouse super safe as there`s no step to trip over.
Toughened Safety Glass gives the whole greenhouse extra strength as it`s full length giving added rigidity that`s we recommend toughened glazing for windy locations. If toughened glass does break it smashes into tiny little harmless pebbles, rather than long shards like standard greenhouse glass, making it much safer than normal greenhouse glass.
This Black Apollo 5000 8ft x 6ft model has 1 opening roof vent for ventilation, a single sliding door that can be fitted to slide left or right and integral gutters.

A solid base is the backbone of any greenhouse. You might think skipping this step saves time, but trust me—I've seen plenty of greenhouses fail because of poor foundations. A dodgy base causes more headaches than you'd believe.
What happens with a bad base? Glass cracks. Doors jam. The structure twists. Water pools where it shouldn't. And fixing these problems costs way more than doing it right first time.
