Greenhouses

OUR ADVICE

Maintaining your own greenhouse or tunnel requires dedication and patience. Hours of laborious weeding and daily watering are required when growing your own fruit and vegetables. It is a good idea to choose a greenhouse or tunnel that will reduce your workload. Having insect nets and sufficient air flow makes gardening easier. Garden sheds or storage boxes provide a convenient place to store your gardening tools such as watering cans and rakes.

THE ADVANTAGES OF A POLYCARBONATE GREENHOUSE

A greenhouse made from 4mm thick polycarbonate is 100 times stronger than glass. It will protect your plants from severe weather conditions and, once anchored properly to the ground, is a sturdy structure. Our polycarbonate greenhouse has several diagonal supports for increased stability. It provides the ideal climate for boosting growth. Polycarbonate blocks harmful UV rays whilst letting in natural sunlight and heat. The natural light is evenly distributed and helps to maintain a level temperature.

Polycarbonate greenhouses are one of the most popular choices among gardeners for efficient growing. An array of fruits and vegetables can be grown in this type of greenhouse depending on the time of year. Add variety to your diet and grow peas, courgettes, French beans, spicy salad leaves, herbs and so much more! Another great pro of choosing a polycarbonate greenhouse is that it is easy to clean!

THE ADVANTAGES OF A TUNNEL

sweeek has the perfect polytunnel for you and your family! Essential features such as 6 side windows, a large door for easy access, a polyethylene insect net, and a practical height will make gardening easier for you. Durable, galvanized steel is a sturdy frame for your polytunnel and is covered by anti-UV treated polyethylene. This material is hard-wearing and allows natural light in. Heat is retained and evenly distributed.

The main advantage of a polytunnel is the cost. If you are planning on growing your own plot but are doing so on a small budget, a polyethylene tunnel is great value for money. Compared to a glass greenhouse, a polytunnel is lightweight and easily moved around your garden. Overall, a polytunnel is versatile and functional. It will last for decades and eliminates the safety concerns associated with a glass greenhouse. If, over time, your polytunnel gets a split in the cover it is easy to repair, or you can use a replacement cover.

SUSTAINABLE WATERING

Your polytunnel, greenhouse, or planter will need to be watered regularly. Fortunately, there are eco-friendly solutions available. You could consider investing in a water butt. Water butts collect rainwater which is then reused to water your plants. Simply connect your water butt using our included gutter connection kit and you can fill your watering can using the integrated tap. Stored rainwater is not only better for the environment, and your plants, but it is also going to save you money on water bills!

Aside from the advantageous functionality of a water butt, our polycarbonate greenhouse has gutters on each side and you can easily collect rainwater from them and use it for watering. Sustainable watering is a no-brainer and an easy habit to bring into your gardening practices.
