A greenhouse is a very useful tool allowing you to extend the season in the spring and autumn. It also allows you to grow some crops that prefer hotter conditions and a longer ripening period such as tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, aubergines and peppers.

The most popular size of greenhouse in the UK measures 6ft x 8ft (pictured below) although for the small garden there are both 6ft x 4ft and 6ft x 6ft and even lean-to styles.

This size fits into the average sized garden but gives plenty of growing space and room to move about too!

The next choice when you decide to get a greenhouse is whether to go for horticultural glass or polycarbonate glazing. The advantages of glass are aesthetic and the increased light for your plants; the disadvantages are the fragility of glass the cost.

Polycarbonate-glazed greenhouses tend to be significantly cheaper than glass-glazed greenhouses of the same floor size, shape and height, and are lighter and easier to handle while they are being assembled.

Greenhouse frames are usually made of aluminium - it is light and maintenance free and can be powder-coated, usually in green, to improve its appearance and life. The coated versions cost about £100 more than the same version in aluminium.

If you are concerned about the look of the greenhouse spoiling your garden, perhaps you want to consider a supreme greenhouse with an elegant curved roof?  This shape gives more growing height which is especially useful as your larger plants such as tomato vines grow during the season and is more in keeping with an older property. These greenhouses are glazed with acrylic glazing which looks like glass but is less fragile and can create elegant curves.

The next decision to be made once you have agreed to get a greenhouse is who will erect it? Many greenhouses come in kit form and are quite simple to build yourself – especially if you can persuade a couple of friends to give a hand for a few hours!

Finally, check the delivery costs for your greenhouse.  That on-line bargain is not such a good deal if £45 is added in delivery costs; the Wickes greenhouses featured on this page all come with free delivery in the UK mainland.
