Customer comments...
On Monday we had our worst gales for years in this corner of Scotland. Trees uprooted, roofs blown away, acres of polytunnels destroyed and so on. Our 8x12 greenhouse however remains standing - not a pane of glass broken. Absolutely delighted - as we were when it was delivered last January in some of the worst snow of the year. So glad we chose a Rhino.
This is a rare and exclusive Rhino - for those who want a greenhouse in their garden that is the very best and which also sets itself apart from the herd! This LE model has the immensely strong Rhino frame carefully coated in a lustrous, maintenance free, powder coated Ivory finish, giving the greenhouse a classic and truly opulent look.
All the class leading Rhino features are, of course, incorporated including extra height and bracing; 4mm ‘class A’ toughened glass; unique, ‘lock-in’ glazing beads; extra large, automatically controlled roof vents and hanging basket rails. The integral base gives an instant foundation (neatly removes the extra cost of laying bricks, slabs or concrete!) and includes a ‘no trip’ low threshold door which gives convenient and easy access into the greenhouse.
A full range of mill finish Rhino accessories is available to fully equip the LE and enable it to realise its full potential as a superb working greenhouse. Additionally, if a matching appearance is required, the most popular choices of Ultimate Integral Staging and 10” Slatted Shelving can also be ordered in an Ivory powder coat paint finish.

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.

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 2/3 days.
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 £333
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.
