About Our Vitavia Venus Greenhouses
The Vitavia Venus Greenhouse range offers exceptional value for home gardeners and allotment enthusiasts. Available in five sizes from 6x4 to 6x12 feet, these greenhouses combine TUV-approved construction with practical features that make growing easier. You'll find horticultural glass models starting from £395 and toughened glass versions from £474.
Each Vitavia Venus Greenhouse features an anodised aluminium or powder-coated green frame that won't tarnish, roof braces for weather resistance, and a sliding door you can position on either side. The single roof vent (two vents on larger models) regulates temperature and humidity, whilst growing areas range from 24 square feet (6x4) to 72 square feet (6x12). Free UK mainland delivery takes 4–6 weeks, and professional installation is available across most postcode areas.
Choosing Vitavia Venus Greenhouses: Quick Guide
When shopping for Vitavia Venus Greenhouses, you'll choose between three glazing types. Standard horticultural glass (3mm) starts from £395 for the compact 6x4 model, whilst toughened safety glass begins at £474 but breaks into safer pieces if damaged. Polycarbonate glazing offers lighter weight and better insulation at similar pricing to horticultural glass.
Size matters—the 6x4 suits balconies or small patios (24 square feet), the popular 8x6 provides 48 square feet for serious growers, and the spacious 6x12 offers 72 square feet for extensive cultivation. Your greenhouse needs a base—either a Vitavia steel base (£86–113 depending on size) with 18-inch corner posts for soft ground, or a concrete slab. The aluminium frame comes with a 12-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Browse the wider Vitavia collection or consider the Vitavia Apollo range for similar quality with a built-in base plinth and flat no-trip entrance.

Yes, every Vitavia Venus Greenhouse requires a solid, level base for stability. You can use a Vitavia steel base (available separately) on soft ground by concreting the 18-inch corner posts, or build the greenhouse directly onto concrete slabs or decking. The base must be perfectly square and level—matching your greenhouse dimensions (6x4, 6x6, 8x6, 6x10, or 6x12)—to prevent structural problems during assembly.

TUV Standards Authority approval confirms these greenhouses meet high quality specifications.
Standard horticultural glass (3mm) is economical and provides excellent light transmission but shatters into shards. Toughened safety glass costs approximately £79 more per greenhouse, breaks into safer pieces, and requires less maintenance with no overlapping panes. Polycarbonate glazing offers better insulation and lighter weight but may scratch more easily over 15–20 years.
