About

About Robinsons

Established in 1947, Robinsons of Winchester quickly grew to be a famous name in greenhouses. In the late 80s and 90s Robinsons established itself as the best quality domestic greenhouse, using more aluminium in its frames for strength.

We first became Robinsons agents in 1989, and in July 2011 The Greenhouse People became the owners of Robinsons Greenhouses. All Robinsons greenhouses are made by us in our Staffordshire factory.

  • Super strong box section glazing bars, with up to 35% more aluminium than other makes
  • Toughened safety glass (4mm), about seven times stronger than horticultural glass
  • A low door threshold for wheelbarrows and wheelchairs
  • High eaves, at least 5ft across the greenhouse range
  • Gutters, downpipes and automatic roof vents as standard

Heritage

Robinsons, since 1947

Robinsons of Winchester was established in 1947, building cedar and often commercial greenhouses before making its name in the late 1980s and 90s with ultra-strong aluminium ones.

We bought our first Robinsons in 1988 and have looked after the brand ever since: first as agents, and since 2011 as its owners. Every Robinsons is now made in our Staffordshire factory.

Robinsons questions

Anything else? Call us on 0800 464 7971.

Can someone put my Robinsons greenhouse up for me?

With your order confirmation, sent in the post a couple of days after you order, comes a list of suitable greenhouse installers who can erect it for you. Prices vary with the specification and your location: for a 6ft x 8ft greenhouse, expect to pay around £190 to £250.

Can I have a taller greenhouse, or one against a wall?

Yes. A Z-Type modification puts a full-height greenhouse on a brick wall of the height you choose, and an R-Type removes the rear end so the greenhouse joins an existing wall. Both are made in the factory: contact us to order one.
