Vitavia Freya Greenhouse
The Vitavia Freya is a rule-breaker. It combines the high-eaves capability of a lean-to with the freedom of a freestanding greenhouse. Its unique pent-roof design (single slope) provides massive internal headroom, making it ideal for tall vine crops like tomatoes or cucumbers. Uniquely, the Freya pairs crystal clear toughened glass sides with a 6mm polycarbonate roof, giving you the perfect balance: clear views of your plants from the garden, but built-in shading and heat retention from above to prevent scorching.
🔧 Matt's Installation Tip: The Low Threshold
The Freya features a fantastic barrier-free low threshold, making it easy to wheelbarrow in and out. However, this design leaves no room for error in your groundwork.
Crucial Step: Because the door track sits flush with the ground, you must install this greenhouse on a perfectly level concrete or paved perimeter. Unlike standard greenhouses where a high metal base can bridge small gaps, the Freya requires a flat surface to ensure the double sliding doors glide smoothly.
Why We Chose This Range
“We chose the Freya for our collection because it solves the 'scorched plant' problem. Many customers love the look of glass but struggle with shading in summer. The Freya’s 6mm polycarbonate roof acts as a thermal barrier, diffusing harsh mid-day sun to protect your crops, while the glass sides keep the structure looking premium and transparent. It is the best 'modern style' greenhouse for urban gardens.”
— Matt, Founder of Greenhouse StoresCommon Questions About the Vitavia Freya
Do I need a wall to install the Freya?
No. Although it has a "lean-to" style pent roof, the Freya is a completely freestanding greenhouse. You can place it anywhere in your garden without needing a supporting wall.
Why does it have a polycarbonate roof but glass sides?
This is a "Hybrid" design. The 6mm Twin-Wall Polycarbonate roof insulates against heat loss in winter and diffuses sunlight in summer to prevent plants from scorching. The Toughened Safety Glass sides provide weight, rigidity, and the traditional clear look of a premium greenhouse.
What sizes are available?
The Freya comes in two main sizes: the Freya 5900 (8x6 approx) and the Freya 7600 (8x8 approx). Both feature the same high-eave pent roof design.
Does it come with a base?
The Freya includes a built-in Low Threshold base plinth. You do not need to buy a separate base, but you do need to prepare a level foundation (slabs or concrete) for it to sit on.
