Description

Alton Cambridge T-Shaped Orangerie – a perfect fusion of grandeur and practicality. With its distinctive T-shaped footprint, the Cambridge Orangerie stands out as a remarkable addition to any outdoor space, offering both a visually stunning centerpiece and an expansive area for diverse gardening activities and relaxation.

The tall, commanding structure, peaking at 10 feet, ensures ample headroom and a spacious interior that is perfectly suited for year-round enjoyment. Its generous dimensions make it ideal for cultivating a wide range of plants while also serving as a serene garden retreat.

Distinctive Orangerie Design

The T-shaped design of the Cambridge Orangerie adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any garden setting, whether traditional or modern. Picture yourself unwinding with a cup of tea, surrounded by your flourishing plants, or hosting a garden gathering in this stylish and versatile space. The Alton Cambridge T-Shaped Orangerie blends functionality with aesthetics, creating a unique garden feature that complements your lifestyle beautifully.

Robust & Durable Construction

Constructed with 100% Western Red Cedar and an aluminum base frame, this greenhouse is built to endure. Western Red Cedar is an ideal material for greenhouses because it absorbs moisture without warping and dries quickly, maintaining its structural integrity. The wood is naturally resistant to rot due to its high content of preservative oils, which also emit a pleasant aroma that deters insects and pests.

The use of sturdy glazing timber bars (44x44mm and 44x69mm) ensures exceptional strength and stability, setting the Cambridge apart from many modern greenhouses that compromise on materials and construction quality.

All Alton greenhouses are treated in the factory with a clear, spirit based protective treatment. This enables the cedar to mellow down to its silvery grey colour in an even manner over the first year or so of its life. Customers who want to preserve the original cedar colour often add a further treatment before assembly such as an osma oil, however Cedar is used for greenhouses because of its natural rot resistant properties which means that in practice, constant re-treatment is not essential for a long lifespan. Your ten year guarantee covers you against rot even if you never treat it (although you must clean it once a year to remove algae and moss etc)

The porch design adds a real feature to your greenhouse and enables access from the long side and will look superb in your garden.

Also included are cast aluminium spandrels at eaves and ridge these give another element to the victorian design and strengthen the greenhouse.
