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

The Coppice Ashdown Apex Wooden Greenhouse (CCAP2845X2515OBUN) 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 organise a build team.

The frame is built from 44mm x 44mm R4C timber with 12mm cladding throughout. All wood is coated in a microporous oil and pressure treated to breathe while resisting rot. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass on both the roof and walls. The toughened glass door is right-hand hinged with chrome handles and hinges and a 3-lever mortice lock.

Two opening vents sit on either side of the apex roof to regulate temperature. 2-shelf staging is included with brackets to fix it directly to the frame. You can realistically grow tomatoes peppers cucumbers and salad crops here across spring and summer.

This greenhouse suits gardeners who want a well-built timber structure with real security and proper glazing. Free UK delivery is included. Optional upgrades include side staging guttering and a second door.

The frame uses 44mm x 44mm R4C section timber which gives a stiff and square structure. The 12mm cladding is coated in microporous oil and pressure treated so moisture can escape without the wood rotting from inside. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass throughout including the roof panels and door. Toughened glass is cut to size and set into the frame sections. Two apex roof vents are hinged to open manually and release heat build-up. The clip installation system locks components together quickly and accurately reducing the risk of a poorly aligned frame.

The frame is pressure treated softwood timber with 44mm x 44mm R4C section profiles and 12mm cladding boards. All timber is coated in a microporous oil. Glazing throughout including the roof walls and door is 3mm toughened safety glass. No polycarbonate is used anywhere on this greenhouse.

No base or flooring is included. You must prepare a level concrete slab or solid paved surface before the installation team arrives. The greenhouse is designed without flooring so the ground preparation is entirely down to you. Get this done before your installation date to avoid delays.

Professional installation by Coppice's own team is included in the price. They use a clip installation system which speeds up the build considerably. You do not need to be present for the whole build but the site must be ready with a level base. All fixings and components are supplied. No specific build time is quoted by the manufacturer.

The 2.52m x 2.85m floor gives you room for two standard grow bags side by side with space to walk past. That means up to six tomato or pepper plants on the floor alone. The two-shelf staging adds surface area for seed trays in late winter and early spring. In summer use the floor for tall crops like cucumbers and the staging for pots of herbs or chillies. In autumn clear the staging and use it to overwinter tender perennials and pot-grown fuchsias away from frost.

Retreat the timber frame once a year with a suitable wood preservative to guard against rot and fungal decay. This is a warranty condition so do not skip it. Clean the toughened glass panels with soapy water to keep light levels high. Check that the roof vents open and close freely each spring.

At 2.52m x 2.85m this greenhouse fits into a garden plot without dominating it. Sit it on a level slab away from overhanging trees. Allow at least 600mm on the door side to open it fully and the same on the vent sides. It should not be pushed tight against a fence as the timber needs airflow around it. The floor area of just over 7 square metres delivers two staging shelves plus full floor growing space.
