Alton
Amateur Greenhouse
For professional results
This is the greenhouse range that's been designed for cropping right the way through the winter months.
Imagine flowering cyclamen in the depths of winter. A colourful spring display of forget-me-not's or polyanthus. Add a little heat and let your imagination run even further. Winter flowering begonias or cineraries. And over-wintered cuttings ready to bring glowing colour to your flower borders at a fraction of shop prices.
It has full length glass panels and sloping sides to make the greatest possible use of the low-angled winter sun. It's economical to heat too, because the Western Red Cedar is a most efficient thermal insulator.
Not that the Amateur is a 'Wintertime only' greenhouse. In fact it encompasses design features that put most other greenhouses in the shade when it comes to summertime use.
Traditional Greenhouse
For professional results
Big on growing space and economical to heat.
Imagine scarlet bracts of poinsettia in a drab December, freesias or azalias to cheer you through the January snow. Luxurious fresh-picked strawberries in early May. And a glory of summer bedding plants propagated from stem cuttings. The Alton Traditional will brighten your outlook at any time of the year.
Traditional style greenhouses have parallel sides that don't restrict the growing space at high level and are ideally suited to the addition of high-level shelving. So, the Cedar Traditional is the greenhouse for those people who need maximum amount of growing space in the smallest amount of ground space and who prefer the looks and superior insulating properties of Cedar.
Popular Greenhouse
For the Smaller Garden
The Alton Popular greenhouse is a single size model, made from the same high quality Western Red Cedar as the other models in the Alton Greenhouse range.
Although the most competitively priced of Alton's range of greenhouses, it shares many of their standard features. Such as a roof vent, full length glass panels and preservative treatment. The quality of workmanship is equal to that of Alton's larger greenhouses and the Alton Popular also carries the FREE TEN YEAR GUARANTEE on the cedar frame and the quality of the Alton workmanship.
Erecting the Alton Popular is as easy as it is for all Alton freestanding greenhouses, with no single piece of loose glass to handle. The large sections simply bolt together through pre-drilled holes, making assembly quick and easy. The price includes the concrete base kerbs.
