Customer comments...
my compliments on to all concerned;
; a great product that went up very easily
with excellent clear instructions. I have also been very impressed with your service team.
Want it all at the best possible price? The Harvest 8x8 delivers what the competition can’t! With 8’ wide spaciousness, this size yields 33% more space than a 6x8, gives useful extra height and growing room without hitting your garden space or pocket too hard and packs in a host of features as standard!
The strong, 25 year guaranteed, frame has eaves and ridge bracing for extra strength and convenient roof mounted hanging basket rails. The big 3’ wide sliding door has a ‘flush’ threshold for safe, unimpeded access for barrows and wheelchairs. The two large roof vents (8 sq ft) have maintenance free, automatic openers and there are two side louvres to ensure good airflow and help prevent stagnant air and disease. The sturdy, integral base instantly sits on any flat, firm surface including soil (removing the necessity and time, effort and cost of laying a separate base) whilst large capacity guttering and downpipes take care of that valuable rainwater. Highest standard ‘class A’, full length, toughened safety glass is held securely with unique, ‘positive lock’ glazing beads which neatly match the frame colour.
Finally, the optional maintenance free paint finish transforms the greenhouse into an attractive garden feature and a choice from the Rhino range of accessories lets you custom build your perfect greenhouse!

INTEGRAL ALUMINIUM BASE.
The most modern design featuring heavy duty aluminium sections to which the rest of the frame directly attaches to become an integrated part of the structure. The result is a harmonious and strong design which comfortably supports its own weight so that it can be directly placed on clear, firm, level soil.
Greenhouses with this feature are so strong that they remove the extra expense and effort of laying bricks, blocks or concrete which weaker designs are obliged to have. On many models a 'no trip' low door threshold can also be included which gives easy wheelbarrow and disabled access.
Maintenance free, rustproof and immune from the warping and rotting associated with wood, on soil it is held in position by ground anchors which are concreted in place. On a hardstand, the flat bottom lip is drilled and screwed down with appropriate fixings. NB - all sizes quoted in sales literature or on this website are nominal. If you require assistance regarding site preparation, including exact footprint sizes, please email service@greenhousesdirect.co.uk.

Plain aluminium finish. Natural aluminium colour - bright and shiny initially but gradually gains an oxidised top layer to give a familiar 'matt' apperance to the greenhouse framework.
Green powdercoated finish. Lustrous, permanent colour which is maintenance free and highly resistant to marking and chipping. Finish is applied via a lengthy, painstaking process which literally bonds the colour to the metal. Be aware that some cheaper, often imported, models shortcut the process for cost reasons resulting in a less durable finish.
4mm 'Class A' large pane toughened glass (no overlaps). Same thickness and quality used in much domestic double glazing gives best possible strength and rigidity compared to thinner glass and polycarbonate options. Large, single panes are heat processed to become much more impact resistant and, if broken, reduce to small, far less harmful pieces rather than long, dangerous 'shards'. Also retains key advantages of optical clarity and longevity plus 'quality' appearance.
Rhino automatic louvre vent opener. This autovent will open and close a louvre vent, whether 5, 6 or 7 blades. Some drilling is required in order to fit this accessory.

The 2ft (60cm) deep staging is the workhorse, use it for potting up (also see our Potting Pal) taking cuttings and storing your plants.
The 1ft (30cm) deep staging will fit above the main staging and provide a further 50% of growing space for your plants. Full size seed trays will fit perfectly along the length of the 300 deep integral staging.
A common problem in most greenhouses is lack of space, especially in Spring. These two stagings will really maximise your growing space.
A popular option is to have a two tone staging, a combination of green brackets and aluminium slats (see photo above).
The logic being that whilst the brackets are visible from outside the greenhouse, the slatted work surface will be covered with plants and the different colour less visible. The advantage is one of cost saving. Your call!
This staging costs £52.00

18" is ideal for small greenhouses and essential for models such as the 5ft wide, where the bays either side of the door are only 18" wide.
24" is the most popular size, suiting almost any greenhouse. The popular Reservoir and Potting Pal are designed for this depth.
30" is designed for 8ft wide and larger greenhouses, offering 25% more workspace than the 24".
2, 4, 6 or 8ft long, it's entirely up to you!
Your choice entirely. The second tier can be fitted at one of two different heights, so you can either leave room to store items underneath the second tier or move it lower and maximise the space on the shelf itself.
If you have a green-framed greenhouse then you may want to have the staging frame powdercoated green too. Note that the wooden slats and stainless steel trays are not painted green (but you'll be covering these with plants anyway).
Wooden slats are double vacuum treated with preservative and will not rot. The slats allow free drainage for trays and pots as well as making ideal second tiers for storage.
Stainless steel trays are very strong indeed (like other manufacturers, we used to supply aluminium trays but these are so much better). The edges are folded back on themselves for safety. They can fit as either a flat surface, or better still upturned and filled with pea shingle. Not only is this an ideal drainage medium for pots but it creates a moist microclimate around your plants - they'll love it!

Professional Installation
With help at key moments, a competent DIY enthusiast should erect this size of greenhouse in a weekend.
However, this time and effort can be eliminated by using a Professional Installer who will quickly and correctly erect, glaze and anchor down the greenhouse on your pre-prepared site - either soil or hardstanding.
Installer charges for this size (depending on location and exact specification) are from £286
For a precise, no-obligation quote please call 0800 694 1929 or alternatively tick this box and we will contact you on receipt of your greenhouse order.
Please also ask for a copy of our Guidance Notes on Site and Base Preparation and Installation.
(Please note that your Greenhouses Direct Invoice does not include or show installation charges - all installation charges are invoiced separately by, and paid direct to, the Installer)
