Coppice Ashdown 8'3 x 9'4 Apex Painted Wooden Greenhouse (2.52m x 2.85m)

The Coppice Ashdown Apex Wooden Greenhouse (CCAP2845X2515PBUN) measures 2.52m x 2.85m (8'3 x 9'4) giving you a solid floor area of just over 7 square metres. That is a genuinely useful growing space in a modest garden. Professional installation is included in the price so you do not need to lift a spanner.

The frame uses robust 44mm x 44mm R4C framing with 12mm pressure treated timber cladding finished in grey paint. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass throughout including the door. The door itself comes with chrome handles and hinges plus a 3-lever mortice lock. That is a proper security setup.

Two opening roof vents sit on either side of the apex to regulate temperature. 2-shelf staging is included with brackets to fix it to the frame. You can realistically grow tomatoes peppers cucumbers and tender plants. Seed trays work well on the staging shelves in spring.

This greenhouse is built to last with pressure treated timber and toughened glass. The grey painted finish looks sharp. Annual retreatment of the wood keeps it protected. With installation included and staging supplied this is a complete ready-to-grow package.

The frame uses 44mm x 44mm R4C section timber which is a structural grade that resists racking in wind. The 12mm cladding is thicker than entry-level greenhouse boards and adds rigidity to the wall panels. All timber is pressure treated so preservative is forced into the wood grain rather than just sitting on the surface. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass held in place using a clip installation system. The apex roof pitch sheds rain efficiently. Two manually operated roof vents on opposite sides of the ridge allow cross-ventilation when both are open.

The frame is pressure treated softwood timber with 44mm x 44mm R4C structural sections and 12mm thick cladding boards finished in grey paint. All glazing including the door is 3mm toughened glass. Chrome fittings are used on the door hardware.

No base or flooring is included. You must prepare a firm level base before the installation team arrives. A concrete slab or solid paving is the recommended surface. The greenhouse frame sits directly onto this base. Ground preparation is entirely the buyer's responsibility before installation day.

Professional installation is included in the price. Coppice's own installation team assembles the greenhouse using a clip installation system. You do not need to do anything yourself. The team works efficiently and will have the structure up without you needing to provide tools or labour. All fixings and the installation method are handled by the professionals on the day.

The 2.52m x 2.85m floor gives you room for two standard grow bags end to end along one side that is six tomato or pepper plants. The 2-shelf staging handles seed trays in spring. You can realistically fit 20 to 30 seed trays across both shelves. In summer use the floor for cucumbers or aubergines. In autumn clear the staging for overwintering tender perennials and pot-grown citrus. The 2438mm ridge height gives you enough headroom for tall cordon tomatoes.

Retreat the timber once a year to protect against rot and fungal decay this is required to keep the warranty valid. Clean the toughened glass panels with warm soapy water to maintain light levels. Check that the two roof vents open and close freely each season. No guttering is fitted as standard but it is available as an optional upgrade.

At 2.52m x 2.85m this greenhouse suits a garden with a clear flat area of at least 3m x 3.5m once you allow clearance around it. The door is right-hand hinged so leave at least 800mm on that side. The opposite gable can sit closer to a fence. The 2-shelf staging means you get bench space plus floor space without needing a larger structure.
