Strive For Excellence
At Rhino, we could never be content with just making fantastic quality greenhouses - we also aim to be a valid and valuable member of the national gardening community, striving for excellence across all our endeavours. We've already made great strides in the 25+ years since the first Rhino was born in 1999, and we are so excited to see where else we will go!
We have been represented alongside the best of British gardening at world renowned RHS flower shows for years and been recognised for our great service and products with prestigious awards, including Which? and the Great British Growing Awards.
Celebrate Gardening
We are passionate about supporting growers of all kinds and aim not only to provide gardeners with the best greenhouse for their money, but provide avenues for people to access growing. That's why we support gardening schools and community gardens in our local area, and celebrating the voices of gardeners in our family - both big and small.

A bit about Rhino Greenhouses
Rhino was born out of our desire for something better. Back in 1999, as the world prepared for a new era, we were planning our own revolution.
Built upon core values of strength, durability, style and community, each and every Rhino is designed and manufactured by gardeners, for gardeners. They have the class-leading specifications we aimed for, including formidable strength and reliability, and excellent ventilation in every model. We pride ourselves on our expertise, and we’ve worked hard to achieve the title of Britain’s best loved greenhouse brand.
We know the feeling of working in a greenhouse on a dark January evening, fingers cold and breath steaming, as we prepare for and eagerly anticipate the return of spring and lighter days. We get that surge of excitement when we see the first green shoots appear in the dark rich soil of the seedtrays.
Our hearts start beating faster when we feel the warmth of summer on the breeze, and take simple joy in those weeks when you can almost hear the plants growing in the first flush of summer. It’s our pleasure to be surrounded by gentle life; to nurture, to feed, to protect and to finally harvest the fruits of our labours.
We are greenhouse designers, makers and sellers, but more importantly, we are gardeners like you.
When it comes to greenhouses, we know what matters
Provenance - You can only get a Rhino from Rhino. It’s important to us our customers get the best service at the best price. By supplying our greenhouses direct to you we can control everything, and cut out the middleman fees.
Durability - Gardening is the pursuit of a lifetime, so it’s essential your greenhouse will last. We build every Rhino with unrivalled strength, and we’re so confident in their quality each one comes with a 25-year guarantee, for a generation of worry-free gardening.
Satisfaction - Our original aim was to make a greenhouse that is a pleasure to own and use, and it’s the same today. It’s why so many of our sales come from recommendations, and why we’re so pleased that customer reviews and professional reviews call us the nation’s ‘Best Loved Greenhouse’.
Specification - We want to give you the very best from the start so our standard specification comes with many features you’d pay extra for elsewhere - ventilation, strong integral base, 4mm toughened safety glass, water collection and more. We start where others stop.
British-made - Every Rhino we’ve ever sold has been designed and built in Britain. We’re rightly proud of their dependability and the craftsmanship that goes into each one, as we know it means our customers will always get a greenhouse of the highest quality.
It’s one of the strongest, most resilient creatures on the planet - what better name to give our greenhouse?
Here are just some of the highlights:

We’re proud to be a strong part of the gardening community. Our brand ambassadors include national treasure of gardening, Carol Klein who loves her Rhino greenhouse, Gill Meller, acclaimed alumni of River Cottage, who has made our Rhino part of his gardening and cooking ethos, and Jeska Herne of Lobster & Swan and The Future Kept has a Rhino greenhouse in her sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.
Our links within our local community are strong too. We began building greenhouses in the Norfolk village of East Harling, and we’re still here nearly thirty years later, in a new bespoke factory.
We are delighted to be associated with the Grapes Hill Community Garden in Norwich - this charitable project nurtures a space for local people to enjoy nature, and runs gardening and wellbeing workshops for the less fortunate. The garden also plays host to a variety of events geared towards supporting local businesses and creatives.
And we’ve partnered with the Norfolk School of Gardening since it was established in 2019, and the school hosts a huge variety of courses to support green-fingered novices all the way through to aspiring professionals and current pros.
We are passionate about supporting growers of all kinds and aim not only to provide gardeners with the best greenhouse for their money, but provide avenues for people to access growing. That's why we support gardening schools and community gardens in our local area, and celebrate the voices of gardeners in our family - both big and small.
