Greenhouse Buying Guide
Garden Buildings Direct
Greenhouses, not the most common of sights in our back gardens any more, but a revival is imminent. With spiraling food prices and a level of paranoia about what is in and on our foods developing daily, ‘grow your own’ is becoming a phrase that will soon be on every body's lips and eventually in their stomachs too. But with Britain‘s inclement climate anything we do grow will need a little help, hence the resurgence in the need for a greenhouse.
Garden Buildings Direct has a range of greenhouses that will match most ‘grow your own’ produce gardeners needs and they differ in style, construction techniques and building materials. So which might be best for you?
BillyOh Metal Frame
Garden Buildings Direct's metal greenhouses use safe polycarbonate glazing, include a base, opening vents are supplied as standard and come with a rich green metal frame.
The range comes in sizes of 4’ x 6’, 8’ x 6’ and 12’ x 8’.
All Garden Buildings Direct’s metal framed greenhouses come with assembly instructions and all fixings.
BillyOh Wooden Frame
An excellent upgraded greenhouse from the metal framed version would be Garden Buildings Direct’s wooden greenhouse range, either 4’ x 6’ and 8’ x 6’.
Timber frames provide much better heat retention compared to aluminium. The polycarbonate is UV stable, light and strong and if safe and easy to handle.
The wooden frames are pre-treated and are stylish and give great affordability.
BillyOh Lean-To
Garden Buildings Direct have an alternative to the traditional shape of the greenhouse with the metal framed 8’ x 4’ Lean-to versions. This style is suitable for erecting on the side of a building.
As with the other types of greenhouse the Lean-to comes with green metal frame, safe polycarbonate glazing, base, opening vent and assembly instructions.
BillyOh Growhouse / Coldframe
Garden Buildings Direct have a range of Coldframes and compact Growhouses, which are covered frames for small greenhouse and germination needs.
The Coldframes are used to insulate tender seedlings or to grow vegetables when outdoor temperatures drop too low, giving you a longer growing season.
The Growhouse is an excellent product to help encourage inexperienced gardeners to be able to grow seeds and germinate plants within.
BillyOh Accessories
Garden Buildings Direct have a range of accessories that will assist in making the most out of your greenhouse, such as easy to assemble staging, vents for the roof and greenhouse heaters.
For helping make access to your greenhouse easier there is also the option to buy an Eze Ramp and don’t forget the treatment we have on offer to give your wooden greenhouse an extended life span.
