Coppice Ashdown 4'4 x 4'9 Apex Painted Wooden Greenhouse

The Coppice Ashdown Apex Painted Wooden Greenhouse CCAP1448X1320PBUN measures 1.32m x 1.45m (4'4 x 4'9) giving you a compact footprint that fits neatly into a small garden without eating up your lawn. That floor area is tight but workable enough for a couple of grow bags and a staging shelf above.

The frame is built from 44mm x 44mm R4C timber framing with 12mm pressure treated and grey-painted timber cladding. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass throughout including the door. That combination handles wind and rain well and the toughened glass is far safer than standard horticultural glass around children.

Two opening roof vents sit on either side of the apex and let you regulate temperature without guesswork. 2-shelf staging is included with brackets to fix it to the frame. Realistically you can grow tomatoes peppers cucumbers and herbs in summer and overwinter tender plants through the colder months.

Professional installation is included in the price which sets this apart from flat-pack alternatives. The 3-lever mortice lock with chrome fittings keeps tools secure. Free UK delivery and a 1-year warranty round off a solid package for a small garden greenhouse.

The 44mm x 44mm R4C timber framing gives the structure its rigidity. R4C refers to a regularised and chamfered profile which is dimensionally consistent and stronger than rough-sawn timber of the same nominal size. The 12mm cladding boards are pressure treated and painted grey at the factory. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass held in place using a clip installation system. The apex roof pitch sheds rainwater efficiently. Two manually operated roof vents sit on opposite sides of the ridge allowing cross-ventilation. The toughened glass breaks safely if struck making it suitable for family gardens.

The frame is 44mm x 44mm R4C regularised timber. Cladding is 12mm pressure treated timber with a grey-painted factory finish. All glazing including the door is 3mm toughened glass. The roof is also glazed with 3mm toughened glass. No polycarbonate is used anywhere in this model.

No base or flooring is included with this greenhouse. You must lay a level concrete slab or firm paved surface before the installation team arrives. The ground must be flat and stable. All base preparation is the buyer's responsibility and must be completed before the installation date.

Professional installation by Coppice's own team is included in the price. They use a clip installation system so you do not need to self-assemble. You do not need tools or extra help on the day. The base must be ready before they arrive. Instructions and fixings are handled by the installation team as part of the service.

The 1.32m x 1.45m floor gives you room for two standard grow bags side by side. That means up to six tomato plants or four pepper plants on the floor. The two-shelf staging above adds space for seed trays and pots in spring. In summer use the floor for tall crops like tomatoes and cucumbers and the staging for herbs and smaller plants. In autumn and winter the staging holds tender perennials and overwintering cuttings. It is a tight space but well organised it is genuinely productive.

Retreat the timber once a year to protect against rot and fungal decay this is the owner's responsibility. Clean the toughened glass panels with warm soapy water to maintain light levels. Check the two roof vents open and close freely each season. If guttering is fitted keep it clear of debris.

At 1.32m wide and 1.45m deep this greenhouse fits into a corner or along a fence line without dominating the garden. Leave at least 600mm clearance on the door side to open it fully. The two roof vents open upward so no side clearance is needed for those. The staging runs along the inside walls so the floor stays clear for grow bags and taller plants.
