This old favourite has been with us for years, and for good reason. Robust corrugated PVC is slotted under considerable tension into the rust-proof galvanised metal frame, which makes the cloche very solid. Construction is simple...it is fairly easy to move around...

It’s worth investing in a quality Plant House because it has many uses like bringing on cuttings and seedlings, seed propagation and hardening off plants - manufactured from FSC certified Acacia wood with black powder coated stainless steel fittings. The UV stabilised twin walled glazing diffuses light to prevent scorching and ventilation can be controlled using the large front doors or the adjustable lid section. To accommodate larger plants, just move or adjust the shelving. The Acacia wood has been treated to combat initial rotting but we strongly recommend applying an annual coating of teak oil to keep the plant house in pristine condition.
• Three sturdy shelves can be adjusted in height to accommodate taller plants • The adjustable lid can be fixed open to vary ventilation and for ease of watering • Quick and easy self assembly using only a screwdriver • Treat annually with teak oil to preserve wood • Plant House Dimensions: H 110cm (43”) – W 76cm (30”) – D 47cm (18”)

"Took two hours (to construct), and required two people, plus tools. Assembly instructions were good and easy to follow. A very sturdy greenhouse that looks good, and is capacious. It is best for a site where a semi-permanent structure is needed. Although lightweight it copes well with high winds. Made from FSC certified wood." Angela Youngman, KG Tests Mini Greenhouses, January 2008
"This grow house was even better in real life than it looked on the box. To assemble, all I needed was a screwdriver as the holes were pre-drilled. Allow up to one hour to complete...written instructions and illustrations were clear... the end result was a rigid, solid structure...its weight adding stability. It came with three chunky wooden slatted shelves which I discovered held nine standard seed trays. The strong twin wall polycarbonate glazing used is more insulating than glass and diffuses light to prevent scorching and I liked the fact that the frame looks like a lean-to house because it's deeper at the base than it is at the top. A good height to access plants and watering of pot plants could be done from the top as the slats allowed water to trickle through.”'Shop Around', Amateur Gardening, 15 March 2008
