Coppice Ashdown 5ft 3in x 9ft 4in Apex Painted Wooden Greenhouse

The Coppice Ashdown Apex Painted Wooden Greenhouse CCAP2845X1600PBUN measures 1.6m x 2.85m (5ft 3in x 9ft 4in). That footprint gives a small garden a proper growing space without taking over the whole plot. Professional installation is included in the price so you don't need to lift a finger on assembly day.

The frame is built from 44mm x 44mm R4C timber with 12mm pressure treated and grey-painted cladding that resists rot and looks sharp. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass throughout including the door. That combination of solid framing and toughened glass holds up well against wind and rain.

Two opening vents sit on either side of the apex roof to regulate temperature. 2-shelf staging is included with brackets to fix it to the frame. You can realistically grow tomatoes peppers cucumbers and herbs in a greenhouse this size across the floor and staging.

The door has a 3-lever mortice lock with chrome fittings keeping tools and plants secure. It is right-hand hinged and 720mm wide by 1695mm tall. With a 1-year warranty and free delivery to most UK addresses this is a well-specified timber greenhouse built to last.

The frame uses 44mm x 44mm R4C timber sections which give a rigid structure without excessive bulk. The 12mm cladding is pressure treated to resist moisture penetration then painted grey. All glazing is 3mm toughened glass which transmits good light levels and is far stronger than standard horticultural glass. The apex roof pitch sheds rainwater efficiently. Two manually operated roof vents on opposite sides of the ridge allow cross ventilation. The clip-based assembly system used by the installation team locks panels together firmly to brace the structure against wind load.

The frame is 44mm x 44mm R4C pressure treated timber with 12mm timber cladding finished in grey paint. All glazing including the door is 3mm toughened glass. The roof is also fully glazed with the same toughened glass specification throughout.

This greenhouse has no flooring included. It must be sited on a firm level base such as a concrete slab or paving slabs. The buyer must prepare and level the base before the installation team arrives. No base is supplied with the greenhouse.

Professional installation by Coppice's own team is included in the purchase price. They use a clip installation system to assemble the greenhouse on site. You do not need to do any building work yourself. The buyer must have a level base ready before the team arrives. No DIY assembly is required.

At 1.6m x 2.85m this greenhouse fits roughly two standard grow bags on the floor side by side giving space for six tomato or pepper plants. The two staging shelves add useful surface area 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 plants being overwintered away from frost. You can realistically overwinter around 12 to 16 small pot plants on both shelves.

Retreat the timber once a year with a suitable wood preservative to prevent rot and fungal decay. Clean the toughened glass panels with warm soapy water to maintain light levels. Check that the two roof vents open and close freely. If guttering is fitted keep it clear of debris. Annual retreatment is required to keep the structure in good condition.

At 1.6m wide this greenhouse fits into a modest garden plot. Site it with at least 600mm clearance on the door side to open it fully. The apex roof means no lean-to wall is needed so it can stand free in a corner or along a fence line. The 2.85m depth gives good growing length while the 1.6m width keeps the footprint tight. Two staging shelves maximise usable space above the floor area.
