Last week saw the building of a Robinson Rolleston 12 x 24 from The Greenhouse People, this is a slightly different style of building.
The Rolleston is a new three-quarter span lean-to greenhouse. The Victorian styling and 6ft wide porch makes it a perfectly suited to traditional walled gardens. A 13ft width and generous ridge and eaves heights makes it ideal for growing specimen plants or vines.
The height of the rear gutter at 2213mm (2479mm to top) allows for it to pass over a doorway for unimpeded access from the rear of the building if required.
The addition of cast aluminium spandrels at both eaves and ridge strengthens the greenhouse considerably and the extra height created by the more traditional 45 degree pitch to the roof gives more air in the greenhouse, as well as more room for specimen plants. The 45 degree roof pitch is also said to be better for light transmission.
Improved features which set the Victorian range at a level above the standard Robinsons range.
• Extra wide guttering with Victorian styling
• Cast aluminium, gothic-style spandrels increase strength and improve the Victorian look.
