Nationwide Fastrack Delivery & Assembly
Please note that the typical lead time between order and delivery/assembly of our Halls range of greenhouses is 14 days. Our hub is in Dublin so installation with long distances to travel may take slightly longer but can still be completed relatively quickly.
The 'Popular' is Halls best selling small greenhouse and is an ideal size for home growers and allotment holders. We stock this great value greenhouse in the most popualr 6ft (1.8m)x 8ft (2.4m) size with a choice of silver or green frame and horticultural or toughened glass. The 'Popular' also comes with a base kit, a smooth sliding door, large roof vent and integrated gutters, all as standard.
With a spacious growing area of 5 sqm, the 8ft x 6ft greenhouse offers ample room for growing warm climate crops like cucumbers, chillis or tomatoes but can also be used for propagating seedlings for planting elsewhere in the garden. The total height of 1.96m, width of 1.93m, and length of 2.57m provide a generous space for most ameteur gardening needs.

Horticultural or toughened glass?
The difference between horticultural or toughened glass is weight and how the materail handles when shattered.
Horticultural glass
Horticultural glass or greenhouse glass has traditionally been relatively low grade both in thickness and the overall quality of the panes. This does not make it a bad product because we don't necessarily need high quality glass for horticultural applications, it still provides protection and lets in plenty of light which, after all, is all we need it for. The downside from a safety point of view is that it is more brittle and shatters into shards when broken. In my opionon, horticultural glass is perfectly fine for a reasonably shetlered glasshouse in a suburban setting but should not be used in exposed areas or where young children are regularly playing.
Toughened glass
Toughened or safety glass is more costly than horticultural grade but is 10 times stronger and, when broken, shatters into very small pieces in the same manner as a car window. We would recommend that toughened glass is used in any exposed location and where safety is a concern.
