Forest Garden Vale 6ft x 5ft Modular Wooden Greenhouse with Installation

The Forest Vale Modular Wooden Greenhouse GHM65INBUN measures 6ft x 5ft (2m x 1.69m) with a footprint of 1.858m x 1.678m at the base. That gives a small garden a proper growing space without eating up the whole plot. The modular design produces a doubled-up 45mm frame that is far stronger than standard wooden greenhouse construction.

The frame is built from FSC® certified timber that is slow-grown and kiln-dried. 12mm tongue and groove cladding is the most weathertight form of wooden cladding available. Glazing is 4mm toughened safety glass throughout roof and sides which lets in more natural light than Perspex and reduces breakage risk. Pressure treatment gives a 15-year anti-rot guarantee with no further treatment needed.

A single automatic opening roof vent regulates temperature without you needing to be there. Two full-length shelves run along one side giving solid space for pots and seedlings. The apex ridge reaches 2465mm so tall plants and grow bags sit comfortably on the floor.

Professional installation is included at no extra cost. Free UK delivery covers most addresses. The black press lock door keeps tools secure. For a small garden this is a well-built long-lasting greenhouse backed by a 15-year guarantee.

The modular construction uses 45mm x 45mm doubled-up framing sections thicker than most wooden greenhouses which adds rigidity and resistance to wind loading. The 12mm tongue and groove cladding locks together tightly to prevent draughts and water ingress. Glazing is 4mm toughened safety glass fixed into the frame across the roof and sides. The apex roof pitch sheds rainwater efficiently and the ridge height of 2465mm creates internal air volume that helps buffer temperature swings. The single automatic roof vent uses a thermally activated piston to open at a set temperature and close as it cools. The surface slide bolt and black press lock on the single door add basic security.

The frame is FSC® certified slow-grown kiln-dried timber with a smooth-planed finish. Framing sections measure 45mm x 45mm. Cladding is 12mm tongue and groove timber. All glazing including the roof is 4mm toughened safety glass. The entire timber structure is factory pressure treated against rot and fungal decay.

A solid level base is required before installation. A concrete slab or firm paved area is the most suitable surface. No flooring is supplied with the greenhouse so the buyer must prepare the ground beforehand. The installation team will not lay a base that is the owner's responsibility before the installation date.

Professional installation by Forest's own team is included in the price. You do not need to self-assemble. The installers bring all components and fix the greenhouse on your prepared base. There is nothing for the buyer to build. The only preparation needed is a level solid base ready before the installation visit.

The floor area of 1.858m x 1.678m fits two standard grow bags side by side with room for a third along the back wall that is enough for six to eight tomato or pepper plants. The two full-length shelves along one side hold seed trays and small pots in spring. In summer the 2465mm apex ridge gives tall cordon tomatoes room to grow upright. In autumn and winter the enclosed space is suitable for overwintering tender perennials and half-hardy plants in pots. A potting bench accessory adds a dedicated work surface if needed.

No annual timber retreatment is required thanks to factory pressure treatment and the 15-year anti-rot guarantee. Clean the toughened glass panels periodically to maintain light levels. Check the automatic vent mechanism at the start of each season. Clear any debris from the roof and around the base to prevent moisture build-up.

At 2m x 1.69m this greenhouse suits a garden with a spare corner or a run along a fence line. Allow at least 600mm clearance on the door side to open it fully and access the interior. The automatic roof vent opens upward so no side clearance is needed for ventilation. The two built-in shelves mean the floor stays clear for grow bags while the walls do the storage work.
