WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE A ROBINSONS ALUMINIUM GREENHOUSE?

Greenhouses, robinsons greenhouses, greenhouse FAQ
Aluminium is an excellent material for Robinsons greenhouse frames for many reasons. It is strong and at the same time very light with a higher strength to weight ratio than any other commonly used greenhouse framing material. In addition, aluminium needs no protective coating and it can be used in its natural state. Aluminium won't warp, rot or rust and it is non toxic.

WILL MY ROBINSONS ALUMINIUM GREENHOUSE LAST?

Greenhouses, robinsons greenhouses, greenhouse FAQ
All Robinsons greenhouse frames are guaranteed for 12 years. One of aluminium's greatest attributes is its natural ability to withstand corrosion. An excellent example of its durability is the roof of the San Gioacchino church in Rome, which is roofed in aluminium and it is still in great condition after 100 years. Even after a hundred years of exposure the worst that happens is the surface takes on a rough grey texture as it very gradually oxidises.
