Please note that this greenhouse is supplied without a floor. It must be secured to a solid, level base prior to assembly. Ensure your chosen base is prepared and ready before delivery arrives.

Construction

The frame is constructed from aluminium profiles, offering a combination of strength and low weight. The galvanised steel perimeter base adds stability at ground level and helps anchor the structure securely. The 0.7mm polycarbonate panels are shatterproof and provide reliable insulation compared to traditional glass, making this greenhouse a practical and safer alternative for family gardens.

Fine Shield Technology ensures that UV rays are blocked on both surfaces of the polycarbonate, protecting both your plants from harmful radiation and the panels themselves from discolouration over time.

Treatment & Guarantee

The aluminium frame requires no painting, staining or preservative treatment. The structure is maintenance free throughout its life. Palram Canopia back this greenhouse with a 5-year limited warranty, providing reassurance on the quality of materials and construction.

Doors & Windows

Access is provided via wide double doors, which include a padlock fixing point for added security. Two roof vents are included as standard and can be opened manually to regulate temperature and airflow inside the greenhouse, which is particularly important during warmer months.

Delivery

Free delivery is available to most UK mainland addresses. Please check at the point of order if your location qualifies for free delivery.
