The space will always be used, so buy the biggest Malvern greenhouse you can afford provided that it fits comfortably in the space available. There are no precise guidelines regarding the size. Often the size of the greenhouse is dictated by the space available. We offer a wide range of sizes to suit every space. If you are replacing an existing greenhouse, you should consider whether to have the same size again or perhaps larger. You should also consider what you will be growing.

Ideally your Malvern greenhouse should have a clear space at least 18" wide on all sides, if possible. This ensures easy access for both installation and future maintenance. In reality this is often not practical and at many sites it is not needed. A reduced clearance is often possible on one or two sides. You should cut back or remove any nearby shrubs and trees. Remember to allow for future growth.

Most Summer greenhouses are suitable for DIY assembly. Assembly is a straightforward and satisfying project for any DIY enthusiast. Even large buildings can be installed with only basic tools, such as a hammer, a screwdriver, a power drill, a spirit level, an adjustable spanner, a knife, a stepladder and safety goggles. Particular care is required when handling glass and good quality gloves should be worn at all times.

Greenhouse insulation surprises people, but.... A modern greenhouse in good condition can achieve average insulation but the majority of others can only be classed as poor. Surrounding walls are only a problem if they contain combustable materials (e.g. wood or drywall) or material that would melt (e.g. porch screening).

The composition of the base course is outlined in our specifications as a 3/4 inch minus sandy gravel compacted to 95% modified proctor. The base should allow enough void space for water to percolate and grass roots to grow. If you intend on using a material that will seal tight once compacted (such as limestone) you must add a 30% mixture of sand to create the required void space.

Yes, our mattresses will compliment all types of base units, Slatted, Solid, Sprung Edge. They will feel good on any Bedstead or Divan base.

No problem - PG is definitely suitable for those as well. The chalk (clay?) in those type humidifiers should be "cleaned" once every year or two though... Just soak them overnight in a big pan of water, dry them out, then re-charge with PG solution. Given proper care, that type of element will out-live us all! One word of caution with all clay type elements. Always use distilled water to re-fill them. The trace salts in tap water will clog them eventually...

Solexx greenhouses are available with either 3.5mm (Solexx XP) or 5mm (Solexx PRO) thicknesses. The 3.5mm greenhouse panels are recommended in most areas as they provide more light transmission. The 5mm greenhouse panels are used in very cold climates (for added insulation) and at high altitudes.

No, many growers will have a mix of all levels of greenhouses. They will often integrate different types and styles of greenhouses to optimize crop quality without compromising economics. Thus a grower must know where the greenhouse will be built, local zoning and codes, weather patterns, and what time of year the crop will be grown.
