Lacewing™ 6ft x 8ft Essential Greenhouse Starter Kit

A great entry-level greenhouse starter kit at a fantastic price. It features a greenhouse that is reliable and hard-wearing, thanks to the weatherproof aluminium frame and virtually unbreakable polycarbonate panels. This starter kit even comes complete with a galvanised steel base, an auto vent and an Essential shelving unit. The roof vent can go on either side, for extra flexibility.

The greenhouse features a sturdy 1mm thick aluminium frame with reinforced corner braces, providing extra stability.

The roof vents allow air circulation on hot days as well as pollinating insects to enter and exit the greenhouse (additional automatic vents available to purchase separately)

This greenhouse has been designed with a sliding door that can opened as needed for ventilation without having to worry about it banging in the wind

The 4mm thick polycarbonate panels block out 99.9% of the sun's harmful UV rays, increasing the development of plants. The PC panels are strong, shatterproof and help retain heat longer than glass, which makes them an ideal choice if you have children that are often playing in the area where the greenhouse is situated.

Gutters enable the collection and reuse of rainwater when used in conjunction with water butt and rainwater pipe (sold separately).
