Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is a floor included for the greenhouse section?

No, the greenhouse is supplied without a floor. It sits on a pressure-treated base rail, and you will need to prepare a suitable foundation for the structure.

What type of glass is used?

The greenhouse is glazed with toughened safety glass, providing durability and enhanced safety.

Do I need to assemble the greenhouse and shed?

Yes, the product requires assembly. Assembly instructions and a fixing kit are included.

What maintenance is required for the timber?

The timber is dip-treated with a base coat. It is recommended to apply a protective top coat of paint or stain and to reapply this treatment annually.

How does the temperature regulation in the greenhouse work?

Two roof windows are fitted with Bayliss automatic openers. These devices open and close the vents automatically based on the temperature inside the greenhouse, helping to prevent overheating.

Can I secure the shed?

Yes, the shed door is equipped with a pad bolt, ready for you to attach your own padlock for security.

What are the dimensions of the unit?

The overall dimensions are Height: 223 cm, Width: 179 cm, and Depth: 357 cm.

Troubleshooting

Greenhouse overheating despite vents

Ensure the automatic openers are functioning correctly and that the vents are not obstructed. Consider adding additional manual ventilation if necessary.

Shed door difficult to open/close

Check for any obstructions or warping in the door frame or hinges. Adjust hinges if necessary or lubricate them.

Wood appears to be weathering quickly

Ensure a thorough top coat of preservative or paint was applied after assembly and is reapplied annually.

Base rail seems unstable

Verify the underlying foundation is level and compacted. Ensure the greenhouse is properly anchored to its base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dual functionality: combines greenhouse and shed in one unit.
  • Durable construction with high-quality timber and toughened glass.
  • Automated temperature control for greenhouse via roof vents.
  • Traditional aesthetic enhances garden appeal.
  • Shed offers substantial storage with robust shiplap and T&G construction.

Cons

  • No floor is supplied for the greenhouse section; requires a separate base.
  • Requires assembly and potentially additional weatherproofing (top coat).
  • No shelving or benching included as standard.
  • Single door access to the greenhouse might be restrictive for some.
  • Weight (266kg) indicates it requires a sturdy foundation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Foundation: The greenhouse requires a level and stable base. A pressure-treated base rail is supplied, but the overall foundation (e.g., concrete slab, paved area, or compacted hardcore) needs to be prepared beforehand. Ensure the base is square and level.
  2. Assembly: Follow the provided assembly instructions and utilize the included fixing kit. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size and weight of the components.
  3. Shed Door: The shed door is ready for a padlock (not supplied) for added security.
  4. Finishing: The timber components are dip-treated with a base coat preservative. It is essential to apply a suitable top coat (paint or stain) to protect the wood from weathering and UV damage, and to achieve your desired aesthetic.

Compatibility:

  • This model is designed as a standalone unit. Ensure adequate space is available for placement and access.
  • No specific electrical or plumbing services are integrated.

Care:

  • Wood Treatment: Reapply wood preservative or paint annually to maintain the timber's condition.
  • Glass Cleaning: Clean the toughened glass panes with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the automatic roof vents are kept clear of debris to function correctly.
  • Shed Maintenance: Check the shed door and hinges periodically for smooth operation.
