After all it’s glazed all round. Light shade is not too disadvantageous and in some circumstances, depending on what you choose to grow, is preferable.

Almost without exception every greenhouse has to have staging (benching to some) and shelving. You will need a strong surface for your plants, a place to store trays and a useful surface to pot up. Cultivar’s devishly clever staging provides the best.
We have a page all about staging and shelving.
We know about greenhouses and we know the sizes that are top of your list. For the smaller garden the smallest width available is 6ft 8 inches (2026mm). The length is modular starting with two panels which is just 5ft 4 inches (1622mm) long. The most popular length for this width is 3 panels which is a little shy of 8 foot (2362mm).

We have designed the ultimate greenhouse door. It’s made from sturdy aluminium framing inset into a dimensionally stable Accoya frame to ensure a long lasting and perfect fit. The shiplap board is designed to withstand hard wear and the occasional knock whilst adding both beauty and strength. The upper glazed section is toughened safety glass. It’s a combination of traditional wood working skills matched with a modern aluminium door system.
When it comes to encouraging plant growth and healthy propagation the clarity and durability of the glass is second to none. Gone are the days of delicate 2mm thick horticultural glass which shatters into shards at the slightest knock or wind. Now we use 4mm tempered safety glass.
The very best growers know that adequate ventilation is the key to disease prevention and good results in the greenhouse. To this end we have studied the most effective positions and sizes of our vents to ensure optimum results. Starting from the bottom we have full length, hinged, aluminium vents at plinth level which will allow the cooler air to circulate upwards, around the structure before exiting as warm or hot air at the ridge.

Accoya is the wood for the future. EUTR compliant from well managed sustainable sources such as FSC certified forests. The treatment process is non toxic and adds nothing to the wood that does not naturally occur. The result of this treatment is enhanced durability and stability offering the perfect solution for the beautiful and strong framework and attractive timber boarding on our greenhouses.

This has long been used in greenhouse construction usually with light weight sections that make for a rickety structure, often with clips or screws holding the glass in place.
With our long experience in the industry we have now banished the historical concepts and designed aluminum frames with tight mitred corners, strong glazing bars, secure beads and effective neoprene gaskets to hold the glass securely in place.
