FAQs

What is the main advantage of a half-size growhouse?

The primary advantage is its compact size, making it ideal for gardeners with limited outdoor space such as balconies, patios, or small gardens, while still providing a protected environment for plants.

Can I remove the shelves?

Yes, the seed tray shelves are adjustable for height and can be removed or dropped flat as needed to accommodate larger plants or different configurations.

What type of glass is used?

The growhouse features 3mm reinforced safety glass, which is designed to be durable and safe.

How do I ensure adequate ventilation?

The growhouse has sliding glass panels that can be opened to provide adjustable ventilation, helping to regulate temperature and humidity.

Is this growhouse suitable for overwintering plants?

While it offers protection, it is best suited for starting seeds and nurturing young plants. Overwintering larger or more tender plants may require additional protection or a more robust structure.

What is the warranty on the framework?

The framework comes with a 25-year guarantee, indicating a high level of durability and manufacturer confidence.

Can the growhouse be moved easily?

Yes, its compact size and lighter weight compared to larger greenhouses make it relatively portable, allowing you to reposition it to optimize sunlight exposure.

Troubleshooting

Growhouse feels unstable

Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. Consider anchoring the growhouse to the ground or a stable structure, especially in windy locations.

Condensation is excessive

Open the sliding ventilation panels slightly to increase airflow and reduce humidity. Ensure the growhouse is not placed in an area with poor natural ventilation.

Shelves do not fit correctly

Check that the shelf supports are correctly positioned and that the frame is square. Ensure no debris is obstructing the shelf placement.

Glass panels are difficult to slide

Check for any obstructions in the tracks, such as dirt or small debris, and clean them. Ensure the frame is not warped.
