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).
Comes complete with a sturdy galvanised steel base.
This is a fine choice for a first greenhouse, as it can be used for growing seedlings and additional crops. It is ideal for growing your own vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers or peppers. Its compact design makes it a perfect choice for those who do not have space or requirements for a full sized greenhouse.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only; plants, shelves, tools and flowers are not included with the greenhouse.
This starter kit comes with an auto vent and greenhouse shelving as standard, but you can purchase additional extras for your greenhouse below. Traditional range shelving is also available.
What's the difference between Essential and Traditional greenhouses?
Lacewing Traditional and Essential greenhouses are constructed from an aluminium frame and 4mm thick PC sheets, offering exceptional quality at an amazing price. The difference between the two is the frame thickness and the density of the PC sheets. The Essential PC has a density of 0.55kg/m2 and 0.75kg/m2 for Traditional. The Essential greenhouses feature a 1mm thick frame and Traditional - 1.5mm frame. We offer a 2 year warranty on our Essential PC sheets and a 5 year warranty on our Traditional PC sheets. The Essential range is available in silver, however the Traditional range is available in silver and green.
