      Frequently asked questions

      What is a wooden greenhouse?

      A wooden greenhouse is a covered growing space that combines timber components with light-transmitting panels. The cedar greenhouse in this collection uses cedar wood, reinforced steel framing and 5.5mm polycarbonate panels to create a walk-in space for plants.

      What sizes are available?

      The cedar wood greenhouse is available in 6 x 8ft, 6 x 10ft and 6 x 12ft sizes. The cedar sunhouse shed measures 3.5 x 2.2 x 3.0m overall. Check the selected product's detailed dimensions, door access and installation requirements before planning your site.

      What can I grow in a cedar greenhouse?

      A cedar greenhouse can provide a sheltered space for vegetables, herbs, flowers, seedlings and potted plants. Choose crops suited to your local climate and manage ventilation, watering and shading as needed. Allow room for mature plants and clear access for everyday care.

      What is the difference between the cedar greenhouse and the cedar sunhouse?

      The cedar greenhouse is primarily a growing structure, with a reinforced steel frame and 5.5mm polycarbonate panels. The cedar sunhouse combines red cedar construction, extensive windows and a polycarbonate roof, providing a versatile garden space for storage, hobbies or plant growing. Compare the features with your intended use.

      Can I grow plants throughout the year?

      A greenhouse can help extend the growing season and shelter plants during cooler periods, but suitable crops and growing conditions depend on your location and the season. You may need additional ventilation, shading or heating. Do not assume every plant will grow year-round without managing conditions inside.

      Are wooden greenhouses and sunhouses supplied as kits?

      The range includes structures supplied in components for assembly, and the cedar sunhouse is described as a prefabricated kitset. Review the chosen product's package contents and assembly information before ordering. Plan a suitable base, anchoring and access for installation.

      How do I care for a cedar greenhouse?

      Follow the care instructions supplied with your model. Keep roof panels and drainage areas clean, check fixings and moving parts periodically, and use timber treatments only as recommended for the product. Maintenance requirements depend on the timber finish, exposure and local conditions.

      How do I choose a location for a wooden greenhouse?

      Choose a site with suitable light, practical access to water and space for installation and plant care. Consider drainage, exposure and the room needed around doors and openings. Prepare the base and anchoring to match the chosen model's instructions before assembly.
