Framing

Forest use imported slow grown, kiln-dried timber from Poland for this greenhouse model, which to extend its durability and the life span of the timber is pressure treated with a wood preservative to prevent rot and fungal decay. This is backed up by their 15-year anti-rot guarantee, which gives added peace of mind that it's crafted to last for many, many growing seasons to come.

Although some of the photos show the greenhouse painted in a lovely cream coloured finish, it's delivered unpainted in its natural pressure-treated state. So you could if you wanted to, paint it at home in any colour of your preference to perfectly match your garden. Although, the painted version in cream definitely does help to bring out the traditional 'Victorian' look even more.

Internally, you'll find a 35mm x 35mm framework of battens, offering a robust structure that shouldn't have any hassle standing up to the harshest of winters within the UK. A back board is included as standard so that the greenhouse can be installed free-standing, not being required to go up against a wall if this doesn't suit your garden layout. While 12mm thick tongue and groove board panels make up the walls and door underneath the acrylic glazing.

Another positive thing to note about Forest is that the majority of their timber products, including this one, is crafted using a majority amount of timber sourced from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified locations, this one being imported from an FSC source in Poland. Meaning that the wood used has been responsibly sourced and new trees planted in place of felled ones.
