Polycarbonate 6x8 Greenhouses

Polycarbonate 6ft x 8ft greenhouses are sturdy and require little maintenance. Polycarbonate refers to the glazing choice used, and so technically all greenhouses could be polycarbonate if you choose this. Polycarbonate is really good for safety, as there is no glass to break that could cause harm.

What is an 6x8 Greenhouse?

A 6x8 greenhouse is a greenhouse thats base measures 6ft wide and 8ft long. The width portion tends to be where the doors are located, and so the length extends backwards from there. These meausrements tend to be approximations, and so the actual size of the greenhouse can vary above or below this slightly.

Glazing

We stock a range of greenhouses with wooden and aluminium frames that come with various choices of glazing. 

Toughened Glass

As far as safety goes toughened glass is the ideal choice. Toughened safety glass offers the crystal clear clarity of traditional glass but with added protection. 

Horticultural Glass

Horticultural glass is inexpensive but if it breaks you could be in trouble. This type of glass will easily shatter into a million pieces. 

Polycarbonate Glazing

Polycarbonate glazing is by far the safest option but this type of glazing is not as crystal clear as glass. Polycarbonate panels won't shatter like traditional glass, making them much more appropriate around children/public places.

Accessories

We stock several important and helpful accessories and optional extras that you can add to your greenhouse order. 

Ventilation

Ventilating your greenhouse helps you control the heat in the summer. Adding ventilation can be crucial and it can be in the form of an extra louvre window, an auto roof vent, a louvre vent or an auto louvre vent. 

Heating

We have a range of greenhouse heaters that can allow the keen gardener to keep plants year-round. 

Shelving/Staging

We offer 5 slat and 2 slat shelving and staging options. Extra shelves are perfect for storing gardening tools, pots and plants.

Reviews

Here are a small selection of the thousands of reviews we've had:

Charles, 07/11/2016 Reviewed the 6x8 Elite High Eave Aluminium Finish

"My greenhouse arrived on time with every last piece, including glass, in perfect condition. I opted to construct the greenhouse myself as I live too far away to qualify for 'team assembly'. Although it took me a few days to complete everything, self assembly has given me a sense of achievement! My only criticism is aimed at the assembly instruction book. This needs reviewing so that it better covers varying learning styles of customers, i.e a few more helpful pictures! I also purchased some grow hooks that can be easily locked in place in seconds, they are made of plastic, have an eye hole and clip."

Kerry, 08/03/2016 Reviewed the 6x8 Elite Craftsman Painted Finish

"After visiting many garden centres and websites researching greenhouses we finally decided on the elite craftsman and couldn't be happier. The quality is second to none, sturdy, practical and attractive. Building it ourselves took a few days and the only complaint is the instructions could have been written easier for novices to understand. The service, communication and price from SW Greenhouses was excellent."

Amanda, 25/02/2016 Reviewed the 6x8 Elite High Eave Aluminium Finish

"An excellent greenhouse - well constructed. I opted for the SW greenhouse team to assemble it for me and was very pleased with service received."
