There are so many advantages to having a greenhouse, that it is no wonder most committed gardeners use one. Thanks to the warmth and security created by its glasshouse structure, a greenhouse enables you to grow plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables all year round. Protected from frost and other severe weather conditions, plants are able to flourish and thrive. Greenhouses also provide shelter from other sources of potential danger like pets and very young children, and with shelves and staging, they offer much needed extra storage space for your garden tools and plant pots.
For many gardeners one of the things they like best about their greenhouse is the atmosphere it evokes. Rather like a laboratory, a greenhouse is where a gardener can experiment, learn about nature and hone their skills, whiling away the hours surrounded by the sights and smells of beautiful plants. If you are considering growing organic fruit and vegetables, or you would like to cultivate exotic flowers, a greenhouse offers the perfect environment in which to try out new things and learn from your experiences.
Our apex, lean-to and freestanding greenhouses are suitable for both newcomers to gardening and committed horticulturists alike. The Sheds.co.uk range consists of all styles and sizes of greenhouse, including those with polycarbonate glazing and wooden frames.
Polycarbonate Greenhouses
Polycarbonate is a type of glazing which provides added strength and durability. It is a plastic which has been engineered in such a way as to be almost as perfectly clear as a pane of glass. While not quite as attractive as standard glass, at least according to some, there are many clear benefits to a greenhouse which has polycarbonate glazing, such as: extra strength, a ribbed texture which allows more sunlight to enter, improved insulation, shatter resistance, easier assembly and transportation.
Wooden Greenhouses
Sturdy, reliable and long-lasting, wooden greenhouses with glass panes are a more traditional variety and intended for those with a slightly larger budget. Many people who prefer a wooden greenhouse to one with polycarbonate glazing do so because of the added durability of the frame and the more appealing visual qualities of standard glass. The Sheds.co.uk range includes pressure treated wooden greenhouse, in which the treatment creates a frame which is even more weather resistant, resulting in a significant reduction in weather-related damage, no matter how severe the conditions.
Whether you are looking for a something compact and handy to fit into a small garden area, or even a balcony, or if you are looking for a major new feature for your garden in which you intend to grow your own produce, perhaps for selling at a market, there is an affordable greenhouse available for you in the Sheds.co.uk range.
