The Buttercup Farm 6ft x 18ft Apex Glass Greenhouse is designed for serious gardeners and horticulture enthusiasts who require a large, durable space for year-round plant cultivation. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-quality FSC-certified Swedish red-wood and robust architectural integrity, providing a long-lasting environment for sensitive crops. One caveat for potential buyers is the sheer size and weight of the unit, which necessitates a significant footprint and a stable, level foundation for proper installation.

Check if the base foundation has shifted; re-level the base to ensure the frame is perfectly square.
Inspect the bitumen felt for any gaps or tears and ensure the fixings are secure; apply additional roof felt adhesive if necessary.
Verify that you are on a perfectly level surface; even a minor slope can cause alignment issues with long 18ft structures.
To ensure the longevity of your Buttercup Farm greenhouse, begin by preparing a completely level concrete, paved, or timber base. Because the structure is delivered flat-packed, clear a staging area to organize the components according to the provided instructions. During assembly, ensure that all timber components are handled with care to avoid splintering. Regarding care, periodic inspections of the galvanized hinges are recommended, particularly after winter. Clean the glass panels annually with mild soap and water to ensure optimal light penetration. As the structure is pressure-treated, additional wood preservatives can be applied after the first few years to maintain the aesthetic appeal and weather-resistant properties of the Swedish red-wood.
