Halls Popular 64 Small Greenhouse 6ft 4in x 4ft 4in (1.93m x 1.31m)

That footprint gives you a workable growing space in even a compact garden enough for grow bags on the floor and staging along one side.

The frame is low-maintenance aluminium with diagonal bracing for rigidity against wind load. Standard glazing is 3mm horticultural glass fitted with clips and rubber gaskets. You can upgrade to toughened safety glass or 4mm twinwall UV-stabilised polycarbonate both are straightforward to install using the same clip system.

There is one roof vent for airflow. An auto-opener is available separately and fits all Halls roof vents. The smooth-running 600mm sliding door also helps with ventilation on warm days. No staging is included as standard but 1-tier and 2-tier aluminium staging plus a 3-tier seed tray frame are all available as add-ons. Realistically you can grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and start seeds in here.

The 12-year frame guarantee makes this a solid long-term buy. Integral gutters are built in. A matching steel base is available separately for added stability.

The frame is aluminium section with diagonal cross-bracing built into the structure to resist racking in wind. Glazing panels whether 3mm horticultural glass, toughened safety glass or 4mm twinwall polycarbonate are secured with push-in clips and rubber gaskets rather than putty, making replacement straightforward. The apex roof sheds rain efficiently and channels it into the integral gutters. The single roof vent is hinged and can be fitted with an optional temperature-activated auto-opener. The 600mm sliding door runs on a track and does not swing outward, saving space on a tight plot.

The frame is aluminium lightweight, rust-proof and maintenance-free. Standard glazing is 3mm horticultural glass held in place with clips and rubber gaskets. Optional upgrades are toughened safety glass or 4mm twinwall UV-stabilised polycarbonate. No timber or steel is used in the main structure.

No base is included. The greenhouse must stand on a firm level surface such as a concrete slab or solid paving. A matching steel base designed for Halls Popular models is available as an optional extra but can only be purchased at the same time as the greenhouse. No flooring is supplied the buyer must prepare the ground beforehand.

This greenhouse arrives flat packed for DIY assembly. Two people are needed and the job takes an estimated 2 to 4 hours. Glazing panels fit with clips and rubber gaskets.

The 1.93m x 1.31m floor gives you room for two standard grow bags end to end along the back wall that is space for around six tomato or pepper plants. Add a single-tier staging unit along one side and you gain a full bench for seed trays in spring. In summer use the floor for tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The 3-tier seed tray frame holds 15 trays and fits neatly inside. In autumn move tender perennials and overwintering cuttings onto the staging to keep them frost free through winter.

The aluminium frame needs no annual painting or retreatment. Clean the glazing panels regularly to keep light levels high inside. Check the roof vent mechanism each season and clear the integral gutters of leaves and debris. Keeping the structure clean and the gutters clear will help maintain the frame guarantee.

At 1.93m x 1.31m this greenhouse has a small footprint that fits into a corner or along a fence line. You need clearance on the sliding door side allow at least 600mm for the door to open fully. The roof vent opens upward so no side clearance is needed for that. Despite the compact floor area you can run staging along one full side wall giving you both bench and floor growing space.
