Product Information

Traditionally, greenhouses exclusively used glass glazing. However, recently, more people have been opting to use polycarbonate instead. So the question is – which is better, and what difference do the materials make? Glass Glazing If you don’t have a lot of space available (or even if you do and you just want a smaller greenhouse unit) there are greenhouses available that are more like cabinets than walk-in buildings. These ‘mini greenhouses’ can be installed anywhere (commonly against the wall of your house) and still have enough space for several seed trays or smaller plants. We can install in the following Devon and Cornwall postcodes: TR, PL, TQ but please note that a installation s urcharge will apply, please call us for a quote. SHEDMASTER recommends that your greenhouse is built on a solid concrete base that is flat and level. The climate inside a greenhouse is far easier to control. You won’t need to worry about excessive rain, strong winds, frost or pests!

Measuring 6 x 4 ft (1.83 x 1.22 m), the greenhouse’s door is positioned on its longer 6 ft side, as opposed to the shorter 4 ft side (as is more traditional). Therefore, if you have a wide but short garden, this greenhouse could make better use of the space.

Depending on the size and layout of your garden, it may be worth knowing that not every greenhouse has its door positioned on its shorter side. Whilst that might be the more traditional layout, you can also get greenhouses that have their door positioned on the longer side making them wider rather than deeper. Choosing the Right Style Greenhouse SLIDING DOOR DESIGN: A sliding door offers easy access to the green house for garden and the hobby greenhouse is made out of the same solid material as the rest of the structure. Integrated rain gutters on the bottom are effective for water drainage and collection. We would definitely recommend this greenhouse. The only thing that you have to take into account is that this greenhouse might not survive extreme winds and harsh storms. It should however hold up fine in ‘normal’ weather circumstances and light storms. If you want to add extra stability, make sure you anchor your greenhouse into the ground.

Practically speaking, glass allows a huge amount of light in to the greenhouse, which is beneficial for plants that thrive in bright conditions. The pros of glass glazing are: A plastic cover greenhouse needs to be taken inside during winter and won’t withstand harsh weather conditions such as heavy winds and rain. A big advantage of an Outsunny plastic cover greenhouse is that you can easily move it around. Whether you’re moving it inside during winter or taking it with you to a new home, these greenhouses offer flexibility.
