Plants grow along with your enthusiasm so if budget and space allows the general advice is to go for as big as you can. In this instance the customer has replaced an old small greenhouse with our popular 8’ by 10’5” modern planthouse. The addition of a cold frame to the plain end adding both more storage space and functionality. Cold frames are ideal half way houses between the greenhouse and the garden, the perfect place to harden off tender seedlings before being finally planted out in the garden.

The lids on a cultivar cold frame can be held fully back by means of a stainless steel cabin hook or held open a few inches to allow just enough ventilation for you plants in Spring. And emptying the greenhouse of tender seedlings makes room to bring on some of the popular summer cropping vegetables like tomatoes. With a cultivar greenhouse this is the time to clear the staging and shelving, and to fold it down to take advantage of the full growing height. And at this stage it’s sensible to utilize the practical groove which is designed into every cultivar greenhouse that will take a standard no.8 self tapping screw.

These are easily added to or moved as your needs change throughout the growing calendar. For some the staging may stay down throughout autumn and winter too to make room for storage of less hardy plants in pots, a greenhouse for all seasons.
