5’3 x 4’9 Coppice Ashdown Apex Painted Wooden Greenhouse (1.6m x 1.45m)

Overview

This 5’3 x 4’9 Coppice Ashdown greenhouse arrives with a factory paint finish already applied, so there is no need to treat or colour the timber yourself before it goes up. It is a compact apex greenhouse that suits smaller gardens or a side plot, with enough room for a run of staging and a good number of pots and grow bags.

Key Features

• Compact 5’3 x 4’9 footprint suited to smaller gardens
• Factory-painted timber frame in a ready-finished colour
• Toughened safety glass glazing
• Hinged door and opening roof vent for ventilation
• Traditional apex roofline for maximum light
• Guttering fitted to manage rainwater run-off

Roof Types

The Ashdown uses a traditional apex roof, with glazed panels rising to a central ridge. This shape sheds rain efficiently and lets light reach plants from a wide angle throughout the day, which matters even more in a compact greenhouse where every bit of growing space needs to earn its keep.

Dimensions

• Overall size: 5’3 x 4’9 (1.6m x 1.45m)
• Roof style: Apex, glazed to the ridge
• Frame: Solid timber, painted finish
• Glazing: Toughened safety glass

Construction

The timber frame is built from solid sections and finished with a factory-applied paint coat before the toughened glass panels are fitted with secure glazing clips. The base rail sits on a dwarf wall or timber sill, keeping the growing area away from ground damp.

Treatment & Guarantee

Because the frame is painted at the factory, it is ready to install straight away, though we still recommend a maintenance coat every few years to keep the finish looking sharp and to protect the timber underneath in more exposed spots.

Doors & Windows / Security

A hinged door gives easy access for daily watering and tending, and the opening roof vent lets you manage temperature through the warmer months. A simple latch secures the door, and toughened glazing is used throughout for added safety.

Assembly Information

Supplied as a kit with pre-cut timber and glazing, this greenhouse is best built by two people over a weekend. A level, prepared base is essential, since the frame needs a true foundation to stay square and weathertight.

Delivery Information

Delivery is made on a pallet to a kerbside or driveway location. Given the panels involved, please check clear access to the garden beforehand, and our team will be in touch to confirm a delivery date.

Optional Upgrades

• Staging and shelving for pots and seed trays
• Automatic vent openers
• Water butt and guttering extension kits
