5’3 x 9’4 Coppice Ashdown Apex Wooden Greenhouse (1.6m x 2.85m)

Overview

The Coppice Ashdown is a timber-framed apex greenhouse that pairs a traditional wooden look with the light-filled interior gardeners need for raising seedlings, growing tomatoes or overwintering tender plants. At 5’3 x 9’4, it gives you a generous run of growing space along a single bay, and the untreated cedar-style frame weathers naturally to a soft silver-grey if left unpainted, or can be finished in a colour of your choice.

Key Features

• 5’3 x 9’4 footprint for a full growing season of crops
• Solid timber apex frame with a traditional greenhouse profile
• Toughened safety glass glazing throughout
• Hinged door and opening windows for airflow control
• Guttering included to direct rainwater away from the base
• Ridge height suited to tall plants such as tomatoes and climbers

Roof Types

This greenhouse uses a traditional apex roof, with two glazed panels meeting at a central ridge. The pitch sheds rain and snow effectively while maximising the amount of light reaching plants at every height, which is exactly what an apex profile is designed to do on a dedicated growing structure like this one.

Dimensions

• Overall size: 5’3 x 9’4 (1.6m x 2.85m)
• Roof style: Apex, glazed to the ridge
• Frame: Solid timber, Ashdown profile
• Glazing: Toughened safety glass

Construction

The frame is built from solid timber sections jointed for strength, with a base rail that sits on a low dwarf wall or timber sill to keep the growing area clear of ground moisture. Toughened glass is fitted into the frame with secure glazing clips, giving the structure both rigidity and a traditional appearance that suits most gardens.

Treatment & Guarantee

Left untreated, the timber will weather naturally over time to a silvery finish, or you can apply a wood stain or paint of your choice before or after installation. We recommend treating the frame periodically to extend its working life, particularly in more exposed gardens.

Doors & Windows / Security

A hinged timber door provides easy access, and opening roof vents allow you to manage temperature and airflow through the growing season. Both can be secured with a simple latch, and the toughened glazing throughout adds a layer of safety around the structure.

Assembly Information

The greenhouse is supplied as a kit with pre-cut timber sections and glazing, and is best assembled by two people over a weekend. A level, prepared base is essential before you start, since the timber frame relies on a true foundation to stay square.

Delivery Information

Delivery is made on a pallet to a kerbside or driveway location, and given the size of the crate, please check access to your garden beforehand. Our team will be in touch to arrange a convenient delivery date.

Optional Upgrades

• Staging and shelving for potting and propagation
• Automatic vent openers for hands-free ventilation
• Guttering extensions and water butt kits
