Description

Step into a greenhouse designed to combine timeless wooden charm with the clarity and strength of traditional toughened glass. The 8 x 6 Mercia Woodsman Apex Glass Greenhouse provides a bright, spacious environment where plants can thrive season after season.

Crafted in the UK from sustainably sourced timber, this greenhouse is built using a sturdy 2x2” frame and robust 12mm shiplap cladding, ensuring it stands firm through changing weather. The toughened glass glazing offers exceptional light transmission, flooding the interior with natural light to promote healthy plant growth. Far stronger than standard horticultural glass, toughened glass is safer and more durable. If broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, offering peace of mind in family gardens.

Designed with versatility, the modular door panels can be positioned at the front, side, or rear, allowing you to create an entrance that best suits your garden layout. An adjustable roof vent ensures proper ventilation, helping to maintain airflow and prevent overheating during warmer months.

Traditional design touches, such as antique-style ironmongery, enhance the greenhouse’s classic aesthetic, making it a feature as well as a functional growing space. Supplied with all fixtures and fittings and easy-to-follow assembly instructions, it’s a straightforward build whether you are an experienced gardener or a first-time greenhouse owner.

Backed by a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, this greenhouse is built to stand the test of time, offering the perfect setting to grow everything from vibrant flowers to fresh vegetables. With fast UK delivery, your new greenhouse can be ready to fill with plants before you know it.

Premium Greenhouse Base

Designed for superior stability, the enhanced greenhouse base offers a 20% wider foundation than standard options, providing a solid, long-lasting support system. This cost-effective upgrade ensures your greenhouse remains sturdy and secure for years to come.

Greenhouse Height Extension

Expand your greenhouse with our Height Extension Pack, designed to increase headroom for greater comfort and ease of movement. The extra height improves air circulation, encouraging healthier plant growth while offering more space for taller plants, hanging baskets, and shelving. This upgrade not only enhances functionality but also creates a more open and spacious environment, making your greenhouse an even more enjoyable place to work.

Make The Most of Your Wooden Greenhouse

The generous 8 x 6 size offers ample room for a well-planned, productive growing area. Arrange taller plants like tomatoes or sunflowers towards the back while reserving the front for smaller crops like herbs and salad leaves. Freestanding shelves (available separately) can use vertical space, helping you grow more without overcrowding.

The thermally insulated polycarbonate glazing helps stabilise temperatures, but ventilation is key; adjust the roof vent and doors regularly to prevent overheating and maintain airflow. Seasonal rotation keeps the greenhouse in use all year; start with seedlings in spring, tomatoes and cucumbers in summer, and hardy greens as autumn approaches.

With its spacious interior, heat-retaining glazing, and robust timber frame, this greenhouse allows you to experiment and enjoy growing, no matter the season.
