If you're looking for a solid aluminium greenhouse that does what it says on the tin, then you simply can't go wrong with a Venus ! To make this greenhouse really solid we recommend you add a Vitavia steel base, as it keeps the greenhouse square and rigid when erected onto a nice level surface like slabs or concrete. If you plan to erect your greenhouse onto soft ground, Vitavia steel bases have corner posts that you can sink into the earth and then concrete into place once the greenhouse is level.

Also known as the Vitavia Vermont.

A very good buy for the money and size. A bit of a faff reading instructions and putting it up (had to changed some things twice as instructions were not too clear (photos would have helped). But overall it is a very nice greenhouse. I set mine on T1 sleepers with a baton and plastic strip for water run off. This gave it a bit more height. Looks great in situ.

The greenhouse is great and everything fitted together well but we did have a lot of glass left over, 10 panes, including one that was broken. The shelf unit that was supplied as a separate item is useless and very dangerous when assembled, as it cannot be secured. The assembly collapses when nudged sideways, which if carrying plants and other items can fall on the user. Therefore, it cannot be used and I propose to return it to you for a refund. I should be grateful for a return label.

This was the first greenhouse I have made, my creaky back and just plodding along meant 2 afternoons to build the frame, another for the glass. The instructions were clear, if a little small. It went together almost perfectly.
Guttering and water collection works well, I bought cheap down pipes online and captured 300L in a month of higher than average rain.
I would highly recommend this greenhouse to anyone, the building, now the growing has been a very rewarding experience and feeling like I got a bargain is a bonus.

An excellent product which we assembled over two days (one for the frame and one for the glass). The instructions were relatively comprehensive but we made a mistake with the window which it took more than an hour to fix and which (we learned from an online video made by the company) is made by quite a lot of people - so their written guidelines really need to be reviewed and improved!!

We are very pleased with our new greenhouse. It arrived when expected and on time. We also paid for it to be erected and that was excellent, Richard and his mate were very considerate and kept us informed. It only took them a morning to do and also he is going to change the position of the water butt for us when in the area.

I'm very pleased with my greenhouse - the colour makes it so much smarter than a shiny aluminium one, and it blends into the garden well.
Assembling it is not for the fainthearted - not only do you need to understand complicated diagrams, but you need good eyesight! However, if you take your time, and assume everything is correct, it works out in the end, although it would be a good idea not to tighten all the bolts until you are sure - you often have to loosen things again for the next stage.
It might be worth thinking about sliding extra bolts/hooks etc onto the struts before finishing.
Some glass arrived broken and the company was very helpful about replacing it - no quibbling!
More detailed instructions would be helpful, if only an overview! Also, I was surprised that the staging came as a pile of strips of metal which had to be assembled, this wasn't made clear on the website but is probably obvious to other people!!

I was impressed with the competitve price. It is an excellent idea to wrap the unit in to several discrete packages that correspond to the associated instructions which were in general pretty good. Any queries in its construction were answered by watching the videos that can be found on the internet.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a Vitavia Base Plinth?

    Yes, you'll definitely need some kind of base for your greenhouse. Here's why:

    1. The front door end of the frame sits a bit lower than the rest of the greenhouse.
    2. This means it needs to hang over something sturdy, like timber battens or a Vitavia Steel Perimeter base.
  • Why choose a Vitavia Steel Perimeter base?

    It's a great option because it:

    • Helps make sure your greenhouse is nice and square
    • Keeps everything level before you start adding the glass

    Think of it as giving your greenhouse a solid foundation to stand on. It's like making sure your house has good footings – it just makes everything more stable and secure. Remember, a well-set base means a happier, longer-lasting greenhouse!

  • How do I prepare the base for my greenhouse?

    For the best result, build your greenhouse onto a perfectly square and level slab or concrete base. If you are putting it onto a soft surface, use the corner spikes that come with the optional base plinth (if available), and then use post concrete to fix them down to stop the greenhouse sinking.

  • How is the Greenhouse Packaged?

    Your greenhouse frame and base will arrive in long, thin boxes made of sturdy cardboard. The glass packaging depends on what you've ordered: boxed for horticultural glass, or as individual sheets for full pane toughened glass.

  • Where do I find the assembly instructions?

    The assembly instructions will be in the main greenhouse box, and it will clearly state “assembly instructions in this box”. You can email us at sales@greenhousestores.co.uk and we can email them to you also.

  • How long does it take to build?

    Building your greenhouse is typically a weekend project: set aside Saturday for the framework and Sunday for glazing. Remember, it's crucial not to leave the greenhouse partially glazed, and the time may vary depending on the size of your greenhouse.

  • Where should I start with my greenhouse assembly?

    Begin by thoroughly reading the assembly instructions, then prepare the ground, assemble the base frame, build the greenhouse frame, and finish with glazing - in that order. Follow the instructions step-by-step, including the summary at the front of the manual, to ensure a smooth assembly process.

  • What if I'm missing parts or something is damaged?

    If you discover any missing or damaged parts, don't worry - we're here to help! Simply email us at support@greenhousestores.co.uk with your order number, and we'll get in touch with you as soon as possible to resolve the issue.

  • Do you provide installation services?

    If you're interested in this service, just add the Installation option above. One of our Professional Greenhouse Installers will install your new greenhouse for you. All we need is a properly prepared flat slab or concrete base to fit your greenhouse onto.
