Styrene Greenhouses

Styrene Greenhouses

Ideal for both beginner and experienced gardeners, styrene greenhouses create a controlled environment that helps retain warmth and extends your gardening period long past the typical time in non-sheltered areas. The bright and airy interior of the greenhouse naturally allows sunlight to enter, and the enclosed, compact design provides a creative area for you to organise your plants, pots, flowers, and tools in one neat space.

Features

All our styrene greenhouses are built with high-quality timber frames and fitted with durable, shatter-resistant styrene glazing that provides a lighter, safer alternative to normal glass panels. The clear glazing allows for ample light to enter the greenhouse, whilst the sturdy frame provides reliable support throughout all seasons.

Various models offer an opening roof vent to encourage air flow, regulate humidity levels and decrease the internal temperature during the hotter months, and may also offer shelving and spacious interiors that allow you to organise your plants and tools more efficiently. The timber structure is also designed to add a traditional aesthetic to your outdoor space, providing a protective green space without compromising on style or appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is styrene glazing?

Styrene glazing is made from a clear, lightweight plastic that offers the same benefits as typical glass. Known for its durability and flexibility, its shatter-resistance properties make it a safer, cheaper, and lighter alternative to traditional glass panels.

Are styrene greenhouses suitable for year-round use?

Yes, absolutely. The shatter-resistant properties of styrene glass make it a safer option as an outdoor structure, especially during harsh weather conditions. Proper ventilation and seasonal maintenance will improve the longevity of the structure, but the sturdy timber frame and light, flexible windows provide a safe environment for you and your plants all year round.

Are styrene greenhouses better than glass greenhouses?

Styrene greenhouses are typically preferred due to their lightweight design, shatter-proof design and affordability. Whilst glass is still a popular option and can offer a more premium appearance, styrene greenhouses can offer a safer and more practical solution, especially in family gardens.

Do I need a base for my styrene greenhouse?

Yes, a styrene greenhouse should typically be mounted on a level base such as paving slabs, concrete, or treated timber framing that provides a reliable and safe foundation for it to sit all year round.

How are styrene greenhouses delivered?

Styrene greenhouses are delivered in flat-pack form with pre-fabricated panels that can be easily assembled with the help of the assembly manual. If you wish to have the structure assembled for you by a professional, this can be easily arranged with a member of our team.
