FAQs

What type of wood is used for the greenhouse?

The Shire Holkham greenhouse is constructed from high-grade, slow-grown, kiln-dried timber that is FSC-certified, ensuring it is sustainably sourced and responsibly produced.

Does the greenhouse come with a floor?

No, the greenhouse is supplied without a floor. You will need to provide a suitable base, such as concrete, paving slabs, or a timber frame, onto which the base rail is secured.

How do I treat the timber?

The greenhouse is supplied dip-treated with a factory-applied base coat. You will need to personalize it with a preservative and top coat of your choice to protect the wood and achieve your desired finish.

What are the dimensions of the greenhouse?

The dimensions are Height: 257 cm, Width: 247 cm, and Depth: 476 cm.

How many roof windows are included and do they open automatically?

Yes, four opening roof windows are included, and each comes with an automatic opener that responds to changes in temperature.

What is the warranty period?

The Shire Holkham greenhouse comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Is assembly required?

Yes, full assembly instructions and a fixing kit are supplied, indicating that assembly is required.

Troubleshooting

Greenhouse frame feels unstable

Ensure the base is level and firm, and that all fixings are tightened securely according to the assembly instructions. Verify the greenhouse is properly anchored to its base.

Roof windows not opening automatically

Check that the automatic openers are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing movement. The openers are temperature-sensitive and may require a period to react to ambient heat.

Wood shows signs of weathering

Reapply a suitable wood preservative and top coat as per the manufacturer's recommendations for timber care. Ensure the previous treatment has fully dried before reapplying.

Door latch is stiff

Lubricate the latch mechanism and hinges. Check for any misalignment in the door frame that might be causing friction.
