Product Information

Full details

The Shire Holkham 6 x 8ft greenhouse with integrated potting shed is designed for dedicated gardeners seeking both a protected growing environment and practical storage space. Its key benefit is the dual functionality, offering a traditional and charming wooden structure that enhances any garden while keeping tools and compost conveniently close. A potential caveat for users is that no shelving or benching is included as standard, and the unit requires a base for assembly, as no floor is supplied with the greenhouse section.

The product comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Can I paint or stain the greenhouse and shed?

What are the exact dimensions?

The overall dimensions are Height: 223 cm, Width: 179 cm, and Depth: 238 cm.

Is the glass safety glass?

Troubleshooting

Greenhouse becomes too hot

Ensure the automatic roof vent is opening correctly. Check for obstructions and confirm it is properly installed. Consider adding additional manual ventilation if needed.

Wood components show signs of wear

Reapply a quality wood preservative and top coat. Ensure the structure is well-drained and not in constant contact with damp ground.

Shed door is stiff or difficult to open/close

Check for any obstructions or warping. Adjust hinges if necessary. Ensure the surrounding frame is secure and not sagging.

Condensation inside the greenhouse

Improve ventilation by opening the roof vent or door. Ensure good air circulation around plants. Avoid overwatering.
