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.
