FAQs
It depends on the frame and how it’s looked after. Wooden frames last longest when the timber is retreated regularly, and aluminium frames need very little maintenance. Polycarbonate glazing is more impact-resistant than glass, so it’s less likely to break from stray balls or hail.
Greenhouses help trap heat and stay warmer than outside air, even in winter. However, without insulation or a heater, temperatures can still drop below freezing. To grow plants year-round, you may need to add bubble insulation, thermal mass, or a small heater.
Wooden greenhouses typically stay warmer than metal ones due to the naturally insulating qualities of timber.
At Garden Buildings Direct we believe that wooden framed greenhouses with polycarbonate glazing offer the best all-round options. They:
Are sturdy and durable
Are competitively priced
Maintain a traditional aesthetic
Are safer than glass
Maintain ambient temperature well
You will find a greenhouse worth it if you will commit to growing your own vegetables for food, or you are enthusiastic about growing plants year-round instead of just seasonally. You don't necessarily have to be able to say you will tend to your plants every single day (ask a friend to water them when you go on holiday), but a greenhouse is a must-have for anyone who is serious about gardening and growing their own produce.
This depends partly on the material your greenhouse is made out of, with some maintenance general tips shared between the models.
If you have a wooden greenhouse, maintaining the timber frame will likely be the most important part. Give your greenhouse regular top-ups of wood paint and treatment, and make sure any damage to the frame is fixed quickly and effectively.
Metal frames are less maintenance intensive, but you should ensure the galvanised coating remains intact to reduce the risk of rust forming on any steel models. Aluminium makes this less of a concern and just need to be kept clean.
No matter the frame, ensure the glazing of your building is cleaned regularly and is kept intact. Breakages to the glazing, whether it is glass or the plastic of a polycarbonate greenhouse, means that the seal is broken and heat will be able to escape. Replace any broken glazing as soon as possible, and keep the gaps between frame and glazing tightly sealed.
Consider the size of your garden and how many plants you wish to grow.
For the size, it is important that the greenhouse (with other outbuildings) doesn't take up more than half of your garden (otherwise it would require planning permission, not to mention the impact on your enjoyment of your outdoors). It also needs to fit somewhere that is level and solid, or can be made that way.
For the plants, think about how much each one will need. Our greenhouses are all tall enough for most of the plants people will want to grow (stopping perhaps at tall trees). Look at the recommendation for how much growing space your plants will need surrounding them, and plan your greenhouse layout from there, leaving yourself plenty of working space.
Our greenhouses start from just 3 feet deep and 6 feet wide, which provides room for up to 10 standing plants - more if you add tables to have multiple pots growing on top of each other! These compact walk in greenhouses are ideal for small gardens where space is at a minimum.
In most cases, you don’t need planning permission for a greenhouse as long as it meets permitted development rules. These generally require it to be under 2.5m tall if close to a boundary, not placed in front of your home, and, together with any other outbuildings, not cover more than 50% of the land around your house.
A walk in greenhouse is one that is tall and spacious enough to stand inside, allowing gardeners to move around, organise plants, and work comfortably. This is opposed to a mini greenhouse, growhouse or polytunnel where you would usually just reach inside and not fully enter it. All greenhouses sold by Garden Buildings Direct are walk-in models, including compact sizes starting from just 3x6 feet.
