Halls Popular Greenhouse Review

Halls Popular Greenhouse Review

halls greenhouse
The Halls Popular greenhouse is simply a modern classic when it comes to greenhouses. If it was a car then it would be Toyota, well designed, reliable and it’ll last forever ! The Halls Popular really is an erect and forget type of greenhouse that has stood the test of time and can be found in tens of thousands of gardens all over the world doing what it does best by providing a warm and protected environment for our plants. Because the Popular is so trusted by gardeners it just becomes more and more, well, popular ! Gardening neighbors will happily stand discussing garden matters over the boundary fence and often make recommendations to each other including greenhouse recommendations it would seem as the ownership of this great greenhouse continues to grow and grow.

Halls Popular Silver Greenhouse

Why do people like this greenhouse so much ? Well talking to greenhouse gardeners will give you the answers to this question. Gardeners like the simplicity of the design which means not only is the greenhouse easy to erect in your garden it is also much less likely to go wrong or parts on the greenhouse fail. Gardeners also like the  solid steel base that Halls produce for the greenhouse frame to sit on, providing a rigid platform on which to erect your greenhouse. Halls Popular greenhouses are also available with a choice of glazing types. The standard and by far the cheapest glazing is Horticultural glass which is standard 3mm thick greenhouse glass which offers great light transmission but is quite delicate and therefore not ideal when you have children or pets running around the place. The other glass choice is that of toughened safety glass which is certainly the choice of keen gardeners as it is robust and safe. Toughened glass is 4mm thick and is much heavier than horticultural glass meaning it is not only more resistant to knocks but also very resistant to being affected by windy conditions. The biggest bonus of specifying toughened glass though is that if it does break it smashes down into little glass pebbles rather like a car windscreen which are relatively harmless when compared to the shards left by horticultural glass which makes it a safe option.

The last glazing option of all is that of 4mm twin wall polycarbonate which is by far the safest option and is generally recommended for use in educational environments as well as for use by the elderly and disabled people. This type of polycarbonate has other useful features though, those being excellent heat retention due to the fact that in essence the glazing is double glazed and also due to it’s slightly opaque appearance the polycarbonate also offers good protection from UV rays which can scorch your plants.

Lean to

Leave a comment

Lean to greenhouses offer the solution to some gardener’s space saving and best utilization of space requirements. Because a lean to can be attached to a wall, shed, outbuilding or your house they offer a very practical way of making the most of the space that you have available. The advantage of a lean to of course is that they aren’t merely limited to providing just a warm and protected environment for plants and vegetables but also providing exactly the same for the gardener, you ! Nothing beats relaxing in the warmth of the greenhouse, maybe listening to the radio and enjoying a coffee whilst tending your plants.

Lean to greenhouses are available in wood and aluminium with aluminium being the more popular mainly due to price and the fact that they require little or no maintenance. Wooden lean to greenhouses however offer a very classy traditional look that blends beautifully into any garden.
Lean to greenhouses come in many sizes from 2ft wide through to 8ft wide and lengths up to and sometimes over 40ft !

The smallest lean to greenhouses are generally sized 4×2, that being 2ft out from your wall and 4ft across the doors. 4×2 lean to’s are produced by Palram, Vitavia, Elite and Halls in various colours and door types.

elite-easygrow-greenhouse

The next size up is the 4ft wide lean to greenhouse produced by Elite in two model configurations. The Windsor is 4ft wide and features a low ridge for positioning the greenhouse against garages or single storey bungalows where height is minimal. Elite also produce the Elite Kensington 4 which offers a higher ridge. Swallow Greenhouses are made from redwood pine and are the finest wooden lean to greenhouses available. Made by craftsmen in the UK by hand these wooden greenhouses include installation at your property as part of the price meaning a stress free process from start to finish.

Do you have space for a greenhouse ? Many people today don’t as gardens are getting smaller and smaller, especially with newly built houses. This is where small greenhouses come into their own.
However there may be a solution at hand. If you can find a 4ft x 4ft space in a corner of your garden, yard or allotment Elite Greenhouses have just the greenhouse for you, The Elite Compact Greenhouse.  The Compact is only 4ft3” wide (Gable end) meaning that it will fit nicely into gaps at the sides of your house, garage or shed or just the corner of your garden and with a length of 4ft5” it truly is a compact greenhouse.

The Compact features the following:

Double Sliding Doors with latch
Integral Low Threshold Base
Integral Gutters
1 Roof Vent

New Palram Coldframes

Leave a comment

Palram Cold Frames

We are at the time of year where we are all considering what to do with our less hardy plants given that the weather is fast becoming, well COLD !
We wouldn’t dream of spending any time in the garden without wrapping up warm so let’s think about our plants !

greenhouse stores

If you don’t have a greenhouse or conservatory or even a warm garage in which to store your plants over winter it may be time to consider a coldframe instead.
Palram have just launched 3 new Palram Cold Frames for gardeners to consider. The great thing about these coldframes is that they are raised up off the floor making access easier and putting less strain on our old backs ! Another key feature is that these coldframe models offer additional storage that you wouldn’t normally find on any other cold frame in the market. The Palram Coldframes feature either single sheet clear polycarbonate glazing or twin wall polycarbonate glazing.
I’ve pictured the coldframes below and we’ll do a more in depth review of each model over the coming weeks.

Vitavia Sirius Greenhouse

Leave a comment

Vitavia Sirius Greenhouse

The new Vitavia Greenhouses model, the Sirius 13000 is certainly a scorcher! With an impressive eave height of 1.56m and ridge height of 2.52m the total growing area is 13 square metres, which means this spacious greenhouse has lots of space for growing plants, relaxing or a combination of the two ! The single panes of 4mm float glass provide exceptional clarity avoiding the slight green tint which can appear in standard horticultural glass and the float glass is held in place with a new black rubber capping system. A strong matching steel base and three downpipes come as standard, as do double doors and four roof vents. The Vitavia Sirius Greenhouse is available in anodised aluminium or powder coated green or black. This ‘orangery style’ greenhouse, being particularly attractive, shares it name appropriately with the brightest star in our skies.
As with all Vitavia Greenhouses the quality is at the top of the tree and the finish unrivaled.
