Freestanding Greenhouse – Overview

There are many different types of greenhouses: While a balcony-greenhouse or a tomato-house only require a small amount of space, a freestanding greenhouse can be installed in a large garden. This is often mounted on a foundation and proves to be a durable structure that can be used as a modern conservatory or pavilion. Additionally, depending on its design, a freestanding greenhouse usually offers ample space to accommodate various plants. Thanks to the optimal climate regulation inside the greenhouse, you can harvest much more frequently throughout the year. The plants experience optimal growth conditions, and garden tools as well as other greenhouse accessories can be conveniently and safely stored. And last but not least, a freestanding greenhouse can easily become the visual centrepiece of your garden. Especially our elegant structures with real glass, such as our luxurious “York” model, are aesthetically pleasing – thanks to maximum durability over many years.

For those interested in a freestanding greenhouse, there are several factors to consider. Firstly, the required floor space is significantly larger compared to a lean to greenhouse. The height of the sidewalls should also be taken into account. From our experience at HOKLARTHERM, we recommend a minimum ridge height of 2.30m to allow for comfortable working inside. The precise placement of the freestanding greenhouse in the garden should also be well-thought-out. It is advisable to position it in a sunny and protected area to save on heating costs, for example. The longevity of the materials and the aesthetics of the greenhouse are also important considerations. When purchasing a freestanding greenhouse, you are making a larger investment, so it's crucial to ensure that the design meets your preferences. Choose from different designs, such as our simple classic “Bio-Top” or our thermally separated model “Vario TH” which can also be used as a conservatory.
