The Halls Magnum comes with a 12 year guarantee

The Halls Magnum range of greenhouses offer good value for money.

These aluminium framed greenhouses come equipped with many features which are detailed in the accordions below.

Glazing

The Halls Magnum greenhouse comes with horticultural glass as standard as, traditionally greenhouses have been glazed with this to keep costs low. Each pane is 2ft x 2ft or smaller and is held in with spring wire ‘W’ clips and ‘S’ clips where panes overlap.

We recommend upgrading to toughened glass which is a much safer option. This is far stronger glass, better able to withstand damage from children playing ball or accidents when someone falls against the glass.

A third option, twin wall polycarbonate, is also offered.

Base

The Halls Magnum greenhouse requires a base and cannot be erected straight onto slabs or concrete.

A brick surround can be laid out, but a better and cheaper option is the galvanised steel base, which can be purchased in addition. This allows the lean to to be erected directly onto a soil site, the corner anchors of the base just need to be concreted into position to secure it.

If you prefer to construct a brick plinth then we can provide you with the exact outside base dimensions. The bottom cills of the lean to overlap the brickwork so it is important that the base is built exactly to these dimensions.

Ventilation

The Halls Magnum 8x10 greenhouse comes with four roof vents.

You can improve the ventilation by adding a louvre vent and an automatic roof vent opener for convenience and automatically controlled ventilation.

12 Year Guarantee

Every Halls greenhouse is backed by a 12 year guarantee – so you know that you are buying a product that can be enjoyed for years to come.

Q. Can this greenhouse be sited directly onto my garden?
A. Yes, provided you have ordered the optional galvanised steel base. You must secure the greenhouse by concreting in the ground anchors.  If you are siting it on a lawn then be sure to take the top level of turf off. Cut the lawn back at least a spade width all round so that you don’t have grass growing right up to the edge of the greenhouse. You could fill this area with shingle after the greenhouse is installed.

Q. Can I lay a brick surround?
A. Yes this is possible, the brick surround would need to be built to the exact dimensions supplied in the base plan. It is recommended that solid engineering bricks are used.

Q. What about laying slabs round the perimeter for the base to sit on?
A. As this greenhouse requires a raised plinth, a flat slab perimeter would not be suitable unless you select the optional galvanised steel base plinth.

Q. Can I erect the greenhouse on a paved patio or concrete area?
A. No, this greenhouse requires a raised brick plinth. However, there is an optional galvanised steel base available which can then be fitted onto a paved or concrete area. Exact greenhouse base dimensions can be provided.

Q. How do I fix the greenhouse down?
A. Soil (with optional galvanised steel base plinth) - dig a hole at each point and concrete the ground anchors into position.
Brick surround: You will need to drill holes into yourhardstanding base and fix the greenhouse down using screws and rawl plugs.

Q. Is drainage a problem?
A. You’ll be sloshing a lot of water about inside the greenhouse all year round so it is a very good plan to allow this to drain awayrather than sit in puddles inside the greenhouse. For further information please contact service@greenhousesdirect.co.uk

Halls Colour Options

*COVID-19 UPDATE* Due to stock supplies, currently only available in Plain Aluminium.

Halls colour options

The Halls Popular comes in a natural aluminium frame as standard, with a Forest Green paint finish available at additional cost.

Glazing Options

Glazing options for Elite Greenhouses - Greenhouses Direct

As standard, Halls greenhouses are supplied with 3mm horticultural glass. However, whilst low in cost, there is a sacrifice of safety and today the trend is towards safer and stronger glazing alternatives. Two glazing upgrade options are offered.

Twin wall polycarbonate has the advantage that it offers increased insulation, which may be useful in the winter months. It does, however, suffer from two major disavantages - it's so light that it makes the greenhouse vulnerable to wind damage and It also reduces light levels, which can be a problem for your plants.

Toughened 3mm glass is the best option as it offers a good degree of safety, should an accident occur. It also has the advantage of a larger pane size, which means no overlaps, which would attract dirt and algae.

Base Options

Halls Magnum 8x10 Base

Optional steel base for faster and easier construction of the greenhouse. Increases the greenhouse height by 5ins

Colour

The galvanised steel base allows the greenhouse to be erected directly onto a soil site, the corner anchors of the base just need to be concreted into position to secure it.

It is available in a powdercoated green finish to match the greenhouse.

Extra Ventilation

Automatic Roof Vent Opener

Hot air rises and if it can't escape, your greenhouse will soon overheat and your plants will suffer. Automatic openers react to the air temperature in the greenhouse and will open the roof vents when it gets too warm and close again when the temperature falls. They don't need electricity, there are no running costs and they work all day without holidays!

Halls 5 Blade Louvre - Plain Aluminium, Toughened Glass

The louvre vent replaces a pane of glass low down in the back or side of your greenhouse allowing cool air to enter and circulate. Opens and closes with a small handle or you can fit an automatic opener at extra cost.

Halls 5 Blade Louvre - Plain Aluminium, Polycarbonate

Halls 5 Blade Louvre - Green Finish, Toughened Glass

Halls 5 Blade Louvre - Green Finish, Polycarbonate

The right combination of roof vents and side louvres allows you to take complete control of your ventilation. Air can enter low down through side louvers, circulate up through the greenhouse, and escape out of the roof vents. Ideally fit more than one louvre to all but the smallest greenhouse.

Roof vents also work best in conjunction with automatic roof vent openers which are solar powered, very reliable and absolutely brilliant at regulating the temperature. Fit one per roof vent, choose from toughened glass or polycarbonate to match your greenhouse.

It really is worthwhile ordering extra ventilation along with your greenhouse, as it’s inconvenient and much more expensive to add once the greenhouse is erected.
