Product Information
Full details
This 8ft x 4ft MERCIA Evesham Lean-to Pent Wooden Greenhouse is designed for gardeners with limited space, offering a compact solution to extend your growing season and cultivate a variety of plants year-round. Its key benefit is maximizing growing space by attaching directly to a permanent wall. A potential caveat for long-term use is the requirement for annual timber treatment to maintain its anti-rot guarantee. Key features include robust shiplap cladding, UV-resistant and shatterproof styrene glazing, and an opening roof vent for ventilation.
