Caring For Your Greenhouse

Your Greenhouse is designed, manufactured and installed to the highest possible standards and is virtually maintenance free. Many customers are still happy with their purchase after 30+ years, which is a testament that if the Greenhouse is well cared for, you will enjoy your purchase for many years to come. However, to increase its longevity a small amount of care and attention is necessary. Please take a few moments to read this guide to ensure you receive many years of trouble-free enjoyment.

Western Red Cedar Maintenance As with any structure made from timber, good airflow and allowing the timber to dry out periodically is key, so routinely clearing any debris that has built up on the outside of the Greenhouse must be carried out in order to allow water to drain away fully and the wooden profiles to dry out.

Typically, with all timber buildings in general, some minor adjustment may be required to windows and doors to ensure their correct function due to settling over time.

General cleaning should be carried out regularly. We recommend twice a year, beginning and the end of the growing season, using warm water with a mild detergent (pH neutral solution) with a non-abrasive cloth to remove any dirt, soil and debris, whilst frequently changing the water.

Under no circumstances should aggressive, alkaline or acidic cleaners be used. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water, avoid using a hosepipe and completely saturating the timber.
