Back to Wrexham

It was great to get back to Paul’s place in Wrexham and build his bespoke greenhouse. 

Paul is a lecturer in horticulture no less (so I listen intently when he talks plants!) and has a particular fondness for growing alpine plants.  His greenhouse has lots of ventilation - 4 windows in the roof that open automatically, and 5 more along the sides. 


In addition to the customary shelving and workstation I added a “sand bed” table into which  Paul will sink his potted plants 5” deep in sand.  This will greatly prevent the pots from drying out and create an attractive raised bed appearance inside.

This greenhouse cost under £6,000 including the foundations, walls and brick pathway etc - actually, everything that you see.

I’ve taken a few close-up snaps to show you the quality of the finished greenhouse. 

Please note that all the fittings are of the highest quality - stainless steel ball-bearing hinges which are recessed into the timber, 3-lever morticed lock which are housed within the timber rather than a surface mounted lock and all the joints are morticed and tennoned and pegged with hard-wood dowels.

Thank you to my wonderful customers. 

I suppose it’s a risk when you find someone offering a greenhouse at less than half what others are asking, including the base works.  The main reason is that I do all the work myself, apart from all the painting work which Sarah kindly undertakes for me. 

Let me put you in touch with past customers if you are still unsure.
