Halls Cotswold Burford 6ft x 6ft Small Greenhouse with Toughened Glass

The Halls Cotswold Burford (V01594) is a 6ft x 6ft apex greenhouse measuring 1.94m x 1.94m. That gives you just under 3.77 square metres of floor space enough for two grow bags and a staging bench in a compact garden. It is designed and manufactured in the UK and backed by a 12-year frame guarantee.

The frame is maintenance-free aluminium with a strong ridge bar and integral aluminium base. Glazing is 3mm toughened glass throughout significantly stronger than standard horticultural glass. The integral guttering system with 40mm downpipes reduces internal condensation and connects to a water butt. The frame is available in black, green or silver.

Two opening roof vents keep air moving through the growing season. No staging is included but 6ft aluminium integral staging is available separately. You can realistically grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and overwinter tender plants in a greenhouse this size.

The Zero Threshold™ sliding door has no trip bar and is secured by a key-operated lock. High 1600mm eaves give good headroom. Free UK delivery and a professional installation service are both available. A solid all-round small greenhouse from a well-established UK brand.

The Burford uses an extruded aluminium frame with a strong ridge bar and integral base section. The 3mm toughened glass is held in aluminium glazing bars across the apex roof and side panels. The roof pitch channels rainwater into the integral gutter system via secure clips and 40mm downpipes. Two roof vents are hinged at the ridge and can be fitted with an auto-opener that reacts to internal temperature. The Zero Threshold™ sliding door runs on a track with no raised bar, removing the trip hazard common on older greenhouse designs. The integral base ties the structure together at ground level for rigidity.

The frame, ridge bar and integral base are all maintenance-free extruded aluminium. Available in black, green or silver finish. All glazing is 3mm toughened glass as standard. An upgrade to 6mm twin wall polycarbonate is available. Designed and manufactured in the UK.

No floor is supplied. The greenhouse must sit on a firm level surface a concrete slab or solid paving is recommended. You need to prepare and level the base yourself before assembly. The integral aluminium base sits directly onto the prepared surface. No base or flooring is included in the purchase.

The Burford is supplied flat-packed for DIY assembly with clear instructions included. Assembly time and tool requirements are not stated by the manufacturer. A professional installation service is available at an additional cost if you prefer not to self-build. Given the size and number of glazing panels, two people are strongly recommended for safe and straightforward assembly.

The 1.94m x 1.94m floor gives you room for two standard grow bags side by side. That fits four to six tomato plants or three cucumber plants on the floor. The optional 630mm-wide staging bench runs the full 6ft length and holds seed trays and pot plants above floor level. In spring use the staging for seed sowing and propagation. In summer grow tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers on the floor. In autumn and winter use the space to overwinter tender plants like fuchsias and pelargoniums. A paraffin heater accessory is available to keep frost at bay.

The aluminium frame, ridge bar and base are maintenance-free and need no annual treatment. Clean the toughened glass panels periodically with warm soapy water. Check the two roof vents open and close freely each season. The 40mm downpipes should be cleared of debris to keep the guttering system working properly.

At 1.94m x 1.94m this greenhouse fits into a corner of most gardens. You need clearance on the door side to slide it fully open allow at least 600mm. The two roof vents open upward so need no side clearance. It should not be placed directly against a wall or fence on the door side. The floor area is modest but the 1600mm eaves and 2300mm ridge give good usable height throughout.
