Traditionally,greenhouses always used to sit on a little brick plinth.Now however, most of the greenhouses in our range can be fitted with a metal base.This means that you can fix the greenhouse straight onto either a concrete foundation or one made of concrete slabs. Greenhouse manufacturers make various types of metal base.Using our experience of installing greenhouses we decided to offer our customers a base design that incorporates all the best features of these bases but which is simple to install and much stronger in order to achieve an improved life-span.

Our galvanised metal bases include anchor legs in each corner,more on greenhouses of 10ft length and above.This design allows you to anchor your greenhouse straight into the soil by digging a hole in the ground under each anchor leg and then use concrete to secure the legs into the ground. However, while this method maybe satisfactory,we would strongly advise that you should always have a solid concrete or paving slab foundation under your greenhouse, especially if it is larger than 6ftby 8ft.
Features of our metal bases:

-Made from steel for strength and galvanised to prevent rust.

-Neater finish (as pictured) since the outside face is smooth. Complete with an anchor leg in each corner, plus extra legs on longer models for anchoring into soil.

-Brackets are provided to fix the metal base to the greenhouse frame making it much easier to install the greenhouse because less drilling is required.

- Guaranteed for 10 years - for peace of mind.

- Full instructions included.

Toughened glass is approx 700% stronger than horticultural glass so it is far harder to break. When it does break, it disintegrates into hundreds of tiny pieces, so it is far safer than horticultural glass ( which can form dangerous daggers of glass when broken)

However, the main reason that the toughened glass is now so popular is that it is supplied in large sheets- so each side and roof panel is just one pane- This means that there are no overlaps between the panes (with normal horticultural glass, you get a 10mm overlap between every pane, these fill up with dirt and algae and become unsightly) With large pane toughened glass, you get a greenhouse that looks far neater, is easier to keep clean, and of course is safer.

Your new greenhouse is designed to give you enjoyment for many years. For piece of mind, all our greenhouses have a free 10-year frame guarantee. This valuable guarantee against any manufacturing faults also extends to your choice of metal base and powdercoated coloured finish.

Exclusions include moving parts, glazing, wind and accidental damage.

The extra height gives you a better atmosphere for your plants and more headroom for your plants—and for you!
