7’10 x 7’10 Coppice Thetford Octagonal Painted Wooden Greenhouse (2.39m x 2.39m)

Overview

The Coppice Thetford Octagonal Painted Wooden Greenhouse brings a striking centrepiece design to any garden, its eight sided footprint giving growers all round light rather than a conventional rectangular greenhouse. At 7’10 x 7’10 (2.39m x 2.39m) it offers a generous growing area that works equally well as a working greenhouse or an ornamental garden room. The timber frame arrives factory painted, saving you the time and mess of treating it yourself before the growing season starts.

Key Features

• Octagonal (eight sided) wooden greenhouse frame
• Factory painted timber for an instant finished look
• 7’10 x 7’10 (2.39m x 2.39m) floor footprint
• All round glazing for maximum light from every angle
• Toughened glass panels for safety
• Statement garden feature as well as a working greenhouse

Roof Types

Rather than a standard apex or pent roof, the Thetford Octagonal uses an eight panel pyramid style glazed roof that rises to a central point. Every panel is glazed, so light reaches the growing space from directly overhead as well as from the surrounding walls.

Dimensions

• Width: 7’10 (2.39m)
• Depth: 7’10 (2.39m)
• Octagonal footprint with eight equal glazed sides
• Eight panel pyramid glazed roof

Construction

The frame is built from timber sections designed specifically for the octagonal format, giving a rigid structure that supports the toughened glass panelling on all eight elevations. Because the design is symmetrical, the greenhouse can be viewed attractively from any direction, not just from the front as with a conventional apex greenhouse.

Treatment & Guarantee

This is the painted version of the Thetford Octagonal, meaning the timber has already been factory treated and finished before delivery. There is no immediate treatment job for you to carry out, though we would still recommend an annual check and re coat over time to keep the paint finish looking its best.

Doors & Windows

Access is via a hinged glazed door set into one of the eight panels, sized for comfortable use with tools, pots and growing trays. The toughened glass used throughout is safer than standard horticultural glass.

Assembly Information

As a glazed timber structure, the Thetford Octagonal is best assembled by two people following the supplied instructions, taking care when fitting the glass panels. A firm, level base is essential for the octagonal glazing to line up cleanly on every side.

Delivery Information

Delivery is kerbside on a palletised delivery, with the frame and glazing packed separately for protection in transit. Please arrange for someone to bring the components into a dry area promptly after arrival.

Optional Upgrades

Staging, guttering and additional shelving can be added to make the most of the all round light this design offers, and a base kit is worth considering to give the octagonal footprint a clean, level foundation from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the Thetford Octagonal be used as a year round greenhouse?
A: Yes, though additional insulation or heating is recommended for tender plants through the coldest months.

Q: Is the glass safe for a family garden?
A: The greenhouse uses toughened glass throughout, more impact resistant than standard horticultural glass.

Q: Does the octagonal shape reduce growing space compared to a square greenhouse?
A: There is a small reduction at the corners, but the all round glazing and central height make the most of the space.
