Durable garden greenhouse
Greenhouse poly silver 191x313x191cm
A freestanding greenhouse with an aluminium frame, polycarbonate panels, and a galvanised steel base, providing a stable and functional space for growing plants and vegetables.
Why it was chosen: This greenhouse was selected as an example of a classic and affordable polycarbonate greenhouse with a solid construction and practical features such as a roof window and sliding door. It represents a typical solution for hobby gardeners who want a robust greenhouse in a standard size.

The greenhouse in silver-coloured aluminium has a total area of 5.97 m² and is constructed with polycarbonate panels, which provide a good balance between light transmission and insulation. The material protects plants from harmful UV rays and helps create a stable growing environment.
