Alton cedar greenhouses are now better than ever thanks to a series of improvements added to Alton’s Amateur greenhouses and Traditional greenhouses.
Alton’s 2010 greenhouses include a host of new features that greenhouse gardeners have told us they would like to see. These improve both the look & usability of Alton cedar greenhouses together with a new installation service.
With a new & improved appearance, improved functionality, improved staging & shelving and improved service why not visit one of our displays where you can see for yourself why Alton greenhouses are better than ever and how they out-perform competitor greenhouses including most aluminium greenhouses!
We've listened to your feedback to make our 2010 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 and Traditional ranges that improve both the appearance and functionality of Alton's cedar greenhouses.
IMPROVED APPEARANCE
1. Brown Base Kerbs - Alton’s famous concrete base kerbs are now an attractive brown to complement the natural cedar. They continue to be invaluable in helping to anchor the greenhouse to the ground and prevent the cedar being saturated with moisture.
2. Partly Boarded Door - The lower part of the sliding door is now vertically boarded cedar providing good looks, extra strength and helping prevent breakages.
3. New Pelmet Design - Alton’s attention to detail is shown in the improved pelmet design above sliding doors.
4. Brown Powder coated metal work - co-ordinating with the base kerbs and cedar to give an improved & more attractive finish.
IMPROVED FUNCTIONALITY
5. Hanging Basket Hooks - Eaves and ridge braces feature useful hooks ideal for preparing baskets and for tying string & adding canes when growing tomatoes.
6. Steel Bracing - Durable and strong, discrete, brown powder-coated steel bracing has been used throughout.
7. Convenient Door Locking - A more comfortable handle and a higher locking point avoiding the need to bend.
IMPROVED STAGING &SHELVING
8. Slatted Design - The slatted design ensures good ventilation, promoting stronger plants and preventing disease
9. Stronger Staging & Shelving Slats - Thicker and stronger laminated, finger-jointed hardwood slats that will stand the test of time.
10. Steel cantilever bracing - reduces the need for obtrusive staging legs & high level shelving straps, giving you more room to grow!
IMPROVED SERVICE
11. Managed Installation Service - saving you time and money Alton's new and affordable nationwide installation service ensures you will be ready to grow sooner rather than later.
12. Continued Investment - new delivery vehicles, quality standard accreditations, ongoing product improvements and improved training all introduced to improve the Alton customer experience.
