Find out more Configure nowIf you are looking to buy a traditional wooden greenhouse, then you are often facing a number of limitations. This isn’t the case when you buy a wooden greenhouse from Cultivar as we use new modern materials and manufacturing techniques to ensure that our customers get all the benefits of a wooden greenhouse without facing the limitations.
One of the main issues with traditional wooden greenhouses is their durability. For instance, greenhouses made from softwoods such as pine and cedar are usually limited to a life span of between 10 and 25 years before a replacement is required.
A viable alternative to address this would be hardwoods such as teak or mahogany. Although these are longer lasting, they do come with ethical concerns on account of them being sourced from the rainforest. This makes them increasingly rare, expensive and ecologically unfriendly.
We have searched for the perfect alternative to these and decided to opt for Accoya wood for our framework and boarding. This beautiful timber is sourced from fast-growing sustainable certified wood species. It is then treated with a naturally occurring non-toxic product that produces enhanced durability, improves hardness and unbeatable dimensional stability. All of which means that Accoya greenhouses can last up to 50 years before a replacement is needed!
Design & PriceExplore the range of stylish glasshouses designed to appeal to your tastes and growing needs.
This dimensional stability also makes Accoya ideal for traditional craft woodworking, allowing us to achieve unrivalled aesthetics to add to that practicality of our product.
So if you are looking to achieve the traditional wooden greenhouse look without facing all the problems associated with them, you’d be wise to consider buying one with a modern twist from Cultivar Greenhouses.
We offer you the chance to specify many of the design features to ensure that you get the traditional wooden greenhouse you’d always dreamed of.
Below are just some of the main benefits which come with using Accoya in the construction of wooden greenhouses:
Our wooden greenhouses are all made from Accoya in combination with our own custom aluminium extrusions. Despite the fact that Accoya has a 50 year Guarantee we still space incorporate a discrete aluminium plinth to keep the wood from being in contact with your base.
With our strong aluminium door frame we've eliminated the problems associated with traditional wooden greenhouse doors than have a tendency to warp due to the extreme difference in temperatures between the inside and outside of the greenhouse. Frameless roof vents allow water to run off without pooling whilst the neat powder coated aluminium rainwater goods capture rainwater as part of an ultra efficient greenhouse water collection system.
High capacity, strong aluminum gutters will carry the rain from your glasshouse roof to provide the water that will ensure your plants will thrive. Our securely fixed gutter and downpipes which can be adjusted to length will allow you to collect this precious commodity in your waterbutt. Whether you choose to collect or discharge the water Cultivar provide the means.

Design and price your glasshouse Building your baseAll our roof and wall glazing frames have a groove, seen as a shadow line, known in the trade as a screw port. This has been designed with the grower in mind so you can fix, tie and hang plants or tools securely in position. No drilling required.
Our video shows just how easy this is using two propriety fixings which can be bought online from the like of amazon or ebay. A little creative thinking may suggest other solutions and uses. For instance, a simple screw with twine around the head would hold up your tomatoes or your electrician may use P-clips screwed into the groove to route your wiring.
The most important piece of information is however here. The screws should be stainless steel, self tapping, 4.2mm (no.8) gauge. The depth of the groove is 8mm, it cannot be tightened beyond this. A variety of screws may be required to suit your plans.
