Check Out What You Are Buying and From Whom
With a large choice of greenhouse and garden shed suppliers you need to make the right choice so ensure you do your homework. You may find cheaper greenhouse-shed combination buildings but ensure that you check what is included.
It’s vitally important that only toughened glass is used for safety but many cheap greenhouse-shed combos use horticultural glass (effectively second-grade glass) which may get by on a small garden shed but have no place on a greenhouse.
It’s also good to know a little about the company you are buying from to get a feel for the service they offer. An independent review site Whitespark has many comments from 1st Choice’s earlier customer where you can take a view on what they are saying. In this day and age where customer service is important, it’s good to check this out.
What Quality of Materials are Being Used in Your New Greenhouse Shed?
The quality of materials used in greenhouse sheds can vary tremendously so check out before buying. Many buildings are made using fast-growing whitewood timber as it’s much cheaper than redwood deal timber.
However redwood deal, because it grows slower, is a more stable material and is more likely to stand the ‘test of time’. It’s more expensive than whitewood but the benefits are worth every penny. Toughened glass is the standard for safety, not cheap horticultural (potentially dangerous) glass or unsuitable plastic, acrylic or perspex which scratches and rattles in the wind.
Check out the thickness of the framing (effectively the skeleton) of the greenhouse shed and some cheap greenhouse-shed makers use only 1in x 1in (25mm x 25mm) thick timber. Not very strong at all. The best option is 2in x 2in (nominal thickness) vertical framing for the best results.
Be Wary of Cheap OSB Board, Chipboard or other Cheap Man Made Boards
Another product used to keeps cost down to produce a cheap greenhouse – shed combo is chipboard, OSB board, wafer board or Sterling board. None of these products will enhance your new greenhouse combo and will put it at risk if these boards get wet – and your new building is going outside to face the British weather.
They may be OK for making kitchen cabinets but be very wary if you are offered these on your new building. You may also find these boards described as ‘sheet materials’ which is done to hide the fact you are being supplied with these cheap inadequate boards. Be careful before signing on the ‘dotted line’. Take a look on this page for advice on what to look out for – you won’t regret it. And you will nearly always find that the cheap shed is not the best value.
