Our stand-out pick

Evesham Wooden Greenhouse 6 x 4

The Evesham 6 × 4 is the most rounded choice here for a typical garden. It has a familiar freestanding layout, an opening roof vent and UV-resistant styrene glazing. Its £559.99 price sits between the compact growhouse and premium Woodsman options, while the 6 × 4 footprint keeps the size manageable for a home plot.

The details

Five Waltons greenhouses compared

01 · Best all-round freestanding option

Evesham Wooden Greenhouse 6 x 4

A traditional 6 × 4 ft timber greenhouse with an opening roof vent and shatterproof glazing.

The Evesham is a straightforward choice for a garden that can fit a freestanding 6 × 4 greenhouse. Its timber frame has shiplap-style walls, and UV-resistant styrene panels let light in while avoiding glass. An opening roof vent gives you a way to let heat out on brighter days. The floor is not supplied, which leaves the base open for drainage but means the ground needs preparing separately. At £559.99, it is cheaper than either Woodsman option in this comparison.

02 · Best compact growhouse

Evesham Victorian Growhouse 6 x 3

A 6 × 3 ft footprint with internal potting shelves for a tighter growing space.

The Victorian Growhouse takes up less ground than the other models here, with a listed 6 × 3 ft size. Internal potting shelves add room for trays and pots without needing a separate staging unit. At £559.99, it costs the same as the larger Evesham 6 × 4, so the choice is mainly about its compact, shelf-led layout. It suits gardeners who want a dedicated growing corner and have less room for a walk-in structure.

03 · Best value lean-to

Evesham Lean-to Pent Wooden Greenhouse 8 x 4

An 8 × 4 ft timber greenhouse designed to sit against a permanent wall.

The Evesham Lean-to Pent uses a wall-side layout, which can make sense where a full freestanding greenhouse would interrupt the garden. Its listed 8 × 4 ft footprint offers more floor area than the compact growhouse, and the pent roof follows the lean-to shape. The listed price is £519.99, the lowest in this group. Before choosing it, check the wall and base area carefully, since its position is part of the design rather than a flexible extra.

04 · Best premium freestanding model

Woodsman Apex Wooden Greenhouse 6 x 4 Polycarbonate

A configurable 6 × 4 ft greenhouse with polycarbonate glazing and movable door placement.

The Woodsman Apex keeps to a 6 × 4 ft size but adds a more configurable build. The retailer lists polycarbonate as the glazing for this price, with styrene and glass options available separately. Its door can be positioned to suit the layout, and the opening roof vent helps with airflow. At £809.99, this version is £250 more than the Evesham 6 × 4, so the higher price makes most sense if the glazing and door choices matter to the setup.

05 · Best configurable lean-to

Woodsman Pent Lean-To Greenhouse 8 x 4 Polycarbonate

A premium 8 × 4 ft lean-to with polycarbonate glazing and door-position choices.

The Woodsman Pent Lean-To is the premium wall-side option in this comparison. The listed 8 × 4 ft polycarbonate version costs £759.99, with other glazing choices available on the retailer page. Its timber build and configurable door position give more choice over how it meets the wall and garden path. The main check is the same as for any lean-to, make sure the wall and usable base space suit the chosen size before arranging delivery.
