Construction
Built from FSC-certified timber, this wooden greenhouse is constructed using 12mm shiplap cladding fitted to a robust 28mm frame. The shiplap’s tight interlocking design provides excellent weather protection whilst maintaining the structural integrity needed for a long-lasting garden structure. As a wooden greenhouse, it combines aesthetic appeal with practical durability.
Treatment & Guarantee
All timber has been pressure treated to protect against rot and decay. Forest backs this with an impressive 15-year anti-rot guarantee, meaning you can install this greenhouse with complete confidence. The pressure treatment eliminates the need for annual maintenance or costly retreatments, saving you money and time throughout its lifespan.
Doors & Windows
Access is via a single hinged door fitted with a drop latch and turn buttons for secure fastening. The door can be installed at either end of the structure to suit your garden layout. The shatterproof acrylic glazing is lightweight yet superior to conventional horticultural glass – it’s clearer, more scratch-resistant, and completely safe around families and pets. The large roof vent provides additional ventilation control.
Assembly Information
This greenhouse is supplied without flooring and must be installed on a firm, level base. Forest provides all necessary fixings and clear instructions to make assembly straightforward. Ensure your base is properly prepared before installation to maximise the greenhouse’s performance and longevity.
Delivery Information
Free delivery is available to most UK postcodes, making this an excellent value garden structure for serious growers.
Optional Upgrades
If you’re looking for alternatives, Forest offers this Wallscape Lean To Greenhouse in three different sizes, with options for solid wood or glazed back panels instead of the open back design. A glazed back maximises light capture, whilst a solid wood back provides privacy and wind protection – perfect for different garden situations.

The shatterproof acrylic is lightweight, extremely clear, and highly scratch-resistant – far superior to synthetic alternatives whilst being safer than traditional glass.
Do I need to treat the wood annually?
