Vitavia Orion Greenhouse

The Vitavia Orion is a premium 6ft wide aluminium greenhouse distinguished by its elegant curved eaves and UV-protected acrylic glazing. Designed for gardeners who prioritise both aesthetics and functionality, it is the only curved model in its class to feature integrated gutters for effective rainwater harvesting. Available in multiple lengths with anodised silver or forest green finishes, it offers a sophisticated, rot-proof alternative to traditional timber structures.

Why We Chose This Range

“We added the Orion to our collection because it bridges the gap between high-end architectural glasshouses and practical backyard greenhouses. Many 'curved' models on the market sacrifice functionality for looks, but the Orion is the only one in its class that maintains built-in gutters. It’s the perfect choice for growers who want a standout feature in their garden without losing the ability to harvest rainwater.”

, Matt, Founder of Greenhouse Stores
Matt's installation tip: acrylic care & base prep

The UV-protected acrylic curves require different care than the glass sections. Never use a squeegee or abrasive brush on the curves, as acrylic can scratch more easily than glass. Stick to a microfibre cloth and lukewarm soapy water.

Importantly, ensure your base is perfectly level. Unlike standard greenhouses, the Orion’s fixed-shape curves leave no room for error; if the frame is even slightly twisted, getting a watertight seal at the eaves becomes nearly impossible.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are the curved eaves on the Orion made of glass?

    No, the curves are made from UV-protected acrylic. This material is chosen because it can be precisely shaped to fit the frame, whereas glass curves are significantly more expensive and prone to shattering during delivery.

  • Does the Vitavia Orion come with a warranty?

    Yes, all Orion models include a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty on the frame. This covers the aluminium against rot and structural failure.

  • What sizes does the Vitavia Orion come in?

    Two sizes: a 6x6 (the Orion 3800) and an 8x6 (the Orion 5000). The 6x6 is a tidy fit for a first greenhouse or a small plot. Step up to the 8x6 if you want a proper growing run as well as a potting end. Both get a single hinged door and a roof vent.

  • How much does a Vitavia Orion greenhouse cost?

    The 6x6 with horticultural glass starts at £574. Toughened glass and the green powder-coated finish each add a bit, and the 8x6 costs more again. It is aluminium throughout, so there is nothing to paint or treat down the line.

  • What glazing does the Vitavia Orion use?

    It ships with 3mm horticultural glass as standard, which lets through about 90% of the light. We usually point families with young children at the 4mm toughened upgrade, since it takes a knock without shattering. Either glass comes in a silver or green frame.

  • Does the Vitavia Orion need a base?

    Yes, it needs a firm, level base before it goes up. Slabs, a treated timber perimeter, or the matching Vitavia steel base frame all do the job. Get the base square and dead level and the door lines up first time, every time.
