THE GARDENER’S GLASSHOUSE CHOICE

Abeautiful greenhouse is so much more than simply a place to raise and grow plants and vegetables.

Hampshire based Griffin Glasshouses is a family owned and managed business that has been designing, manufacturing and erecting stunning greenhouses for over 50 years. They incorporate all the latest materials to produce environmentally sensitive and responsible buildings that reflect the wishes of the owners.

Linda Lane is the Managing Director and works with her family and staff to ensure that a Griffin Glasshouse makes a positive statement of quality, beauty and functionality.

Here Linda answers 5 questions to help you plan your new glasshouse.

1. What is the best position in my garden?

The best scenario is to build a glasshouse with its longest axis running east to west or against a south facing wall. We can help you by suggesting alternative designs that make the best use of your particular situation.

2. What do I want to grow and how might this change in the future?

We offer flexible staging, high level folding shelving and the ability for you to add and remove shelves, so that you can easily adapt your glasshouse to changes in your growing schemes.

3. What style of glasshouse is right for me?

Depending on the look you wish to create from traditional Victorian orangery to more contemporary greenhouse, we can tailor the glasshouse to suit your exact requirements with a full range of roof pitches, glass widths, colours, finishes and accessories.

4. Do I need planning consent?

If you live in a listed building or within an area of outstanding natural beauty, a National Park or conservation area then you will need planning consent and we can undertake this aspect of the process for you. griffinglasshouses.com

5. What are the maintenance costs?

Griffin’s powder-coated aluminium glasshouses are designed to look beautiful and to last a lifetime. Unlike wooden structures that require sanding and repainting every few years, all you need to do to keep your Griffin glasshouse looking as good as new is to power wash it inside and out.
