Coppice Ashdown Apex Wooden Greenhouse 8'3 x 7'10 (2.52m x 2.4m)

The Coppice Ashdown Apex Wooden Greenhouse (CCAP2400X2515OBUN) measures 2.52m x 2.4m (8'3 x 7'10) giving you a solid footprint that works hard in a smaller garden. That's over 6 square metres of growing space enough to make a real difference without taking over the plot. Professional installation is included in the price so there's nothing to organise separately.

The frame is built from 44mm x 44mm R4C timber with 12mm cladding throughout. All wood is pressure treated and coated in a microporous oil that protects against rot and fungal decay while letting the wood breathe. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass across the walls and roof strong and letting in maximum light.

Two opening vents sit on either side of the apex roof to regulate temperature. Two-shelf staging is included with brackets to fix it to the frame useful for pots and seedlings straight away. You can realistically grow tomatoes on the floor and use the staging for herbs and propagation trays.

The toughened glass door is right-hand hinged with chrome fittings and a 3-lever mortice lock. It comes with a 1-year warranty. Optional guttering and a second door are available as upgrades.

The frame uses 44mm x 44mm R4C section timber a robust profile that resists racking under wind load. The 12mm cladding is pressure treated and finished with a microporous oil that lets moisture vapour escape while blocking water ingress. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass clipped into the frame throughout walls and roof. The apex roof pitch sheds rain efficiently and carries two manually operated vent panels one on each side near the ridge. The clip installation system locks components together for structural rigidity without relying solely on screws.

The frame is 44mm x 44mm R4C pressure treated timber with 12mm timber cladding finished in a microporous oil. All glazing including the door panels walls and roof is 3mm toughened glass. No polycarbonate is used anywhere in this greenhouse.

A firm level base is required before installation. A concrete slab or solid paving is the recommended foundation. No flooring is included with this greenhouse so the ground must be prepared by the buyer before the installation team arrives. The base must be level and ready on delivery day.

Coppice's professional installation team assembles this greenhouse using a clip installation system. Professional installation is included in the price so no DIY assembly is needed. The team handles the full build on site. No assembly time estimate is published but the clip system is designed for efficient on-site construction. All fixings and components are supplied.

The 2.52m x 2.4m floor gives you room for two standard grow bags side by side that's up to six tomato or pepper plants on the floor. The included 2-shelf staging runs along one side and holds seed trays propagators and smaller pots comfortably. In spring use the staging for sowing seeds and pricking out. In summer move tomatoes cucumbers and peppers to the floor and use the staging for herbs. In winter the space is enough to overwinter a dozen tender perennials or a collection of citrus in pots.

Retreat the timber with a suitable wood preservative once a year to protect against rot and fungal decay this is required to keep the warranty valid. Clean the toughened glass panels regularly to maintain light levels. Check that both roof vents open and close freely each season. If guttering is fitted keep it clear of debris.

At 2.52m x 2.4m this greenhouse fits into a modest garden without dominating it. Siting it along a fence or boundary wall works well but leave at least 600mm on the door side for access. The right-hand hinged door needs clear space to swing open. Despite the compact footprint the two-shelf staging means usable growing surface runs the full length of one side above the floor space.
