We've listened to your feedback to make our 2012 greenhouses even better!
For the discerning gardener, choosing the right greenhouse is an important decision. Not only must a greenhouse provide the perfect growing environment for your precious and delicate plants, it must also look pleasing on the eye. In consultation with keen gardeners, we've introduced a host of new features into our Amateur, Octagonal and Traditional ranges that improve both the appearance and functionality of Alton's cedar greenhouses.
IMPROVED APPEARANCE
Partly Boarded Door - The lower part of the sliding door is now vertically boarded cedar providing good looks, extra strength and helping prevent breakages.
New Pelmet Design - Alton’s attention to detail is shown in the improved pelmet design above sliding doors. Alton octagonal greenhouses now feature guttering above the door and to all sides including a down pipe at the rear for easier water collection.
Brown Powder coated metal work - co-ordinating with the base kerbs and cedar to give an improved & more attractive finish.
IMPROVED FUNCTIONALITY
Hanging Basket Hooks - Eaves and ridge braces feature useful hooks ideal for preparing baskets and for tying string & adding canes when growing tomatoes. These are not available with Alton Octagonal greenhouses.
Steel Bracing - Durable and strong, discrete, brown powder-coated steel bracing has been used throughout.
Convenient Door Locking - A more comfortable handle and a higher locking point avoiding the need to bend. Alton Octagonal greenhouses feature a new and improved door handle and lock.
IMPROVED STAGING &SHELVING
Slatted Design - The slatted design ensures good ventilation, promoting stronger plants and preventing disease
Stronger Staging & Shelving Slats - Thicker and stronger laminated, finger-jointed hardwood slats that will stand the test of time.
Steel cantilever bracing - reduces the need for obtrusive staging legs & high level shelving straps, giving you more room to grow!
IMPROVED SERVICE
Continued Investment - new delivery vehicles, quality standard accreditations, ongoing product improvements and improved training all introduced to improve the Alton customer experience.
