Greenhouses - more info
Waltons greenhouses help keep your plants and seedlings at optimal temperature. With large window spaces, you can be assured your plants will thrive in a light-filled, warm space. Use vent windows to adjust airflow during hotter periods.
Our wooden greenhouses are built with responsibly sourced, sustainable timber, and are designed to fit neatly into your garden. A lean-to greenhouse is perfect for a smaller space, and a polycarbonate greenhouse will generally retain heat more efficiently.
Why buy a greenhouse?
Greenhouses provide protection from wind, cold weather, excess rain and cold snaps that usually kill certain plants if kept outdoors. The large UV-resistant windows allow plenty of sunlight to generate heat, keep seedlings comfortable, and defend against pests that eat young and tender shoots.
Greenhouses also allow you to grow fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants that need a warm and moist climate.
What’s the best base for a greenhouse?
The best base for a greenhouse is a patio slab or concrete base. Without a properly constructed base, the greenhouse may distort, allowing heat and moisture to escape and making it challenging to regulate the temperature. It could also cause leaks, and you might experience drainage issues that can affect your plants' condition. Read our guide to find out how to build a base for your greenhouse.
Does a greenhouse need planning permission?
Stand-alone greenhouses don’t usually require planning permission. However, a lean-to may qualify as an extension depending on the size, placement, and listing of your building. So, it’s best to check with your local planning office before assembling a greenhouse.
What are the cheapest greenhouses?
The cheapest greenhouses in our range include our Mini Wooden Greenhouse, Lean-to Pent Wooden Greenhouse, and Victorian Growhouse. Generally, smaller greenhouses will have lower price tags. Budget-friendly options also include Palram’s Mythos, Harmony, and Hybrid greenhouses, which come in varying sizes and colours. These wooden and polycarbonate greenhouses are compact, easy to move, and ideal for beginners or small spaces.
