01 · Best Compact Lid-Opening Greenhouse

Rowlinson Hardwood Mini Greenhouse

A small hardwood-framed unit with two shelves and two lids, suited to a patio or a sheltered corner.

The Rowlinson Hardwood Mini Greenhouse costs £229 and is built for small spaces rather than for standing inside. It has an FSC hardwood frame and twin-wall polycarbonate glazing, with two shelves for pots and trays. Two lifting lids have adjustable stays, so you can set how far each one opens. It stands 144 cm tall on a 120 x 63 cm footprint. Assembly is self-assembly and is listed at 1 to 2 hours, which is much quicker than the three Palram models. Annual treatment is recommended for the wood, and the warranty covers parts for 12 months.

02 · Best All-Rounder

Palram-Canopia Mythos 6x4 Greenhouse, Silver

A compact walk-in aluminium greenhouse with a door, window, roof vent and steel base for £289.

The Palram-Canopia Mythos 6x4 Greenhouse, Silver costs £289 and is the most fully equipped option under £300 here. It has a rust-resistant aluminium frame and twin-wall polycarbonate glazing. A hinged single door gives you a way in, and an opening window and roof vent give you two ways to let air through. Gutters are included, and the galvanised steel base is part of the package. At 185 x 126 x 208 cm, it is big enough to walk into but smaller than the 6x6 and 6x8. It is the lightest Palram at 26.5 kg. Two people are needed for assembly, which is listed at 4 to 6 hours. A 5-year defects and workmanship warranty is included.

The longest walk-in model here, with 247 cm of length and a door and window, for £319.

The Palram-Canopia Mythos 6x8 Greenhouse, Silver costs £319 and offers the biggest footprint of the five at 185 x 247 cm.

There is a hinged door and one opening window. The 6x4 and 6x6 also include a roof vent, gutters and a galvanised steel base, while this model gives you the extra floor length. It weighs 39.1 kg. Two people are needed for assembly, listed at 4 to 6 hours, and the 5-year defects and workmanship warranty applies.

Palram-Canopia Mythos 6x6 Greenhouse, Silver

A mid-sized walk-in greenhouse with a lockable door, roof vent, gutters and steel base, though it is the priciest here.

The Palram-Canopia Mythos 6x6 Greenhouse, Silver costs £334, the highest price in this roundup but still under £350. It sits between the 6x4 and 6x8 in size at 185 x 186 x 208 cm.

The frame is rust-resistant aluminium with twin-wall polycarbonate glazing. It weighs 34.1 kg. Two people are needed for assembly, listed at 4 to 6 hours, and the warranty covers defects and workmanship for 5 years.

05 · Best Slim Shelved Greenhouse

Zest Compact Botanical Greenhouse

A very slim wooden unit with two large removable shelves, but it does not come with a floor.

The Zest Compact Botanical Greenhouse costs £329 and is the narrowest option here at 85 x 40 cm, standing 123 cm tall. It is made from pressure-treated softwood with Perspex glazing. Two large removable shelves give you space for pots and seed trays, and the opening lid has a stay to hold it up. No floor is supplied, so it needs to sit on a suitable surface or base of your own. At 40 kg it is the heaviest product on this page, despite being the smallest. Assembly is self-assembly. A 10-year anti-rot warranty is included, which is the longest cover on the page for a wooden frame.
