Vitavia Apollo Greenhouse

About Our Vitavia Apollo Greenhouses

The Vitavia Apollo Greenhouses collection stands out for its practical design focused on safety and ease of use. While many traditional greenhouses require stepping over a high metal base, the Apollo features a unique low-threshold entrance. This surface-level entry eliminates the trip hazard, allowing you to roll a wheelbarrow directly inside without lifting.

Each model, from the compact Vitavia 6x4 Apollo 2500 to the spacious Vitavia 6x12 Apollo 7500, arrives with a built-in base plinth. This means you do not need to buy a separate metal base, saving time and money. Constructed with anodised aluminium frames that resist weathering, these structures include roof vents, integral gutters, and a single sliding door. Backed by a 12 Year Warranty, this range offers a durable, British-friendly gardening solution.

Key Features

Choosing Your Vitavia Apollo Greenhouse

Selecting the right Apollo model depends on your garden size and planting goals. The range starts with the 6ft wide Vitavia 6x4 Apollo 2500, perfect for smaller patios, and extends to 12ft lengths for serious growers. To visualize capacity, a standard Vitavia 8x6 Apollo 5000 typically holds one side of Greenhouse Staging and around 12 tomato plants on the opposite side.

Glazing is a crucial choice. Horticultural Glass is the budget-friendly standard. Toughened Safety Glass is our top recommendation for UK weather; it is stronger and shatters safely if broken. Polycarbonate offers better insulation and safety for children. Prices start from £489, making this an accessible entry into quality gardening.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vitavia Apollo Greenhouses

• Does the Vitavia Apollo come with a base?

  Yes, the Apollo model is distinct because it includes an integral base with a low-threshold entrance. Unlike the Venus model which requires a separate high-step base, the Apollo is ready to anchor to your prepared foundation immediately.

• What is the difference between Vitavia Venus and Apollo?

  The main difference is the entry. The Apollo has a "low threshold" (flat entry) ideal for wheelbarrows and accessibility, whereas the Venus has a traditional step-over door lip.

• Is the Vitavia Apollo difficult to assemble?

  Reviews suggest it takes a weekend for two people. A common "gotcha" is tightening bolts too early—keep them loose until the frame is square. For a hassle-free build, we recommend our professional Greenhouse Installation Service.

• Can I get the Apollo in different colours?

  Yes, it is widely available in Anodised Silver (Aluminium) or Powder Coated Green. Some retailers also list Black, but Green/Silver are standard.

• Which glazing is best for the Vitavia Apollo?

  Toughened Safety Glass is recommended for safety and wind resistance (using capping), but Horticultural Glass is the budget option. See our What To Grow Beginners Guide for tips. Prices for the range reach £1089 for larger, fully glazed models.
