The raw material from which every Gabriel Ash greenhouse is constructed, like gardening itself, is life affirming. Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) contains natural oils that resist moisture, decay and infestation.

Being very straight-grained, it neither warps or twists, absorbing and rapidly releasing moisture with minimal shrinkage or expansion. In time the wood naturally turns a beautiful silver colour, which means there s no need to treat the wood.

Using age-old techniques and the values of traditional craftsmanship, this premium wood can be honed to a superb finish: a pleasure to both the eyes and the touch. In our long experience, nothing is more appropriate for fine gardens than the warmth, beauty and character of wood. For us, this means only the finest selected Western Red Cedar.

All wooden material is PEFC certified, ensuring it is produced to the highest ecological, social and ethical standards and works throughout the entire forestry supply chain, promoting good practice.
