Product Information
Full details
The Buttercup Farm 6ft x 8ft Apex Glass Greenhouse is designed for serious hobbyist gardeners and homeowners seeking a durable, long-term solution for year-round plant cultivation. Its primary benefit is the robust, high-quality timber construction that avoids cheap materials like chipboard or OSB, ensuring excellent structural longevity in various weather conditions. A notable caveat is that as a premium timber-based building, it requires routine maintenance to preserve the wood and ensure its 15-year guarantee remains valid.

FAQs
Is the greenhouse made with chipboard or OSB?

What type of glass is included?
This model features single-glazed horticultural glass.
Can I assemble this by myself?
While technically possible for experts, it is highly recommended to have two people due to the weight of the materials and safety during glazing.
Is the timber treated?

Troubleshooting
Doors are sticking or not closing flush
Check that the greenhouse base is still perfectly level, as ground shift can cause the frame to twist slightly.
Water ingress at the corners
Ensure that the shiplap cladding has been treated with a water repellent and check if any of the galvanised seals have loosened.
Glass pane is loose or rattling
Check the horticultural clips holding the glass in place and ensure they are properly tensioned and seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The greenhouse is delivered flat-packed and includes all necessary ironmongery and assembly instructions. Due to the weight of the timber and the glass panes, it is strongly recommended that assembly is performed by at least two people. Site preparation is essential; ensure you have a level, firm base such as concrete or paving slabs to support the weight of the building. For long-term care, apply a quality wood preservative or exterior-grade wood paint to the exterior surfaces every 12 to 24 months to maintain the effectiveness of the pressure-treatment. Regularly clear debris from the roof felt and ensure the gutters (if added) remain free from obstruction to prevent water build-up.
