Accessible and wheelchair-friendly greenhouses by standard
At Rhino Greenhouses Direct, we’re strong believers that everyone deserves to be able to enjoy and explore a passion for gardening. That’s why our greenhouses in this collection have been designed to be as accessible as possible. Our doorways are amply wide enough for wheelchair users and there’s a low threshold ramp included as standard.
All of the greenhouses in this collection are accessible, wheelchair-friendly and come with a wide selection of styles, colours and available accessories.
Choosing the right wheelchair-friendly base
When considering greenhouse options for those who are less mobile, an important step is the base. A greenhouse’s base has the potential to make a huge difference in both its accessibility and usability. We’d recommend placing these greenhouses on either a paving slab base or a concrete base. While a soil or shingle base can provide growing benefits, they’re often not the best option for accessibility, especially in the colder, wetter winter months.

This varies from greenhouse to greenhouse but using our 8ft wide Rhino Premium greenhouses as an example, the doorway is 1.2 metres wide and the standard UK wheelchair width is 0.7 metres.
As an example, our Rhino greenhouses can be supplied with integral staging. The support legs are angled inward to allow objects or wheelchairs to slide underneath.
