Description

Expand your gardening horizons with the Alton Westminster Greenhouse – a stunning structure that offers both the extra space and timeless beauty needed to create a truly remarkable garden retreat.

With an impressive 11ft width and height, the Westminster creates a grand, open interior perfect for those looking to maximize their growing potential while enjoying the serenity of their outdoor space. This premium greenhouse is designed to deliver the best in both form and function, ensuring years of satisfaction.

Distinctive Greenhouse Design

The Alton Westminster Greenhouse stands out with its wider and taller profile, giving it a stately presence in any garden. The combination of half-paneled wood and expansive glass exudes timeless appeal, blending seamlessly with nature while offering plenty of light and room for growth. The steep roof pitch is not only visually striking but also practical – allowing snow to slide off easily, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in colder climates. The spacious interior and ample headroom make this greenhouse perfect for both cultivation and relaxation, providing an inviting space to immerse yourself in your garden.

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.

Additionally, the use of thick glazing timber bars (44x44mm and 44x69mm) provides exceptional strength and stability, unlike many modern greenhouses that have reduced thickness to cut costs.

Mortice and tenon joints.The Cleverly designed jointing system on the Evolution has the duel benefit of making assembly straight forward and adding strength to the framework.

Aluminium base - This keeps the wood well away from the base where water can sit. Plus this unique design feature allows the glass to sit directly onto the metal base - which means that the side water is not running onto the wood, (which is a 'rot-spot' on other greenhouses) The Metal base is included on every Evolution model, regardless of which kind of capping you choose.

Roof vents. A generous allocation of roof vents is included with every model and every roof vent has an automatic opener included as standard. These clever devices work through heat expansion alone to open your roof vents gradually as the temperature changes. Fully adjustable, they help you to create the perfect growing environment

Louvres Your new Alton Evolution model will also include one or more louvre windows. These work in tandem with your roof vents - as the automatic roof vents open and release the warm air, the greenhouse effectively sucks air in through the louvres. These can be positioned near the bottom or the top and on most models at the side of the greenhouse or at the rear. Supplied as manual opening as standard and you can add automatic louvre openers if you wish.

Guttering Takes the water away and allows you to collect it. Included on every model regardless of which kind of capping you choose. This victorian model has a larger gutter over the standard evolution range
