Alton Cedar-wood Octagonal 68 Greenhouse |
|
|
The Alton Cedar-wood Octagonal 6 x 8 Greenhouse, a welcome addition to the Alton cedar-wood greenhouse range, has been specifically designed to provide a very attractive alternative to the traditional shaped greenhouse. Its distinct style will grace any garden setting and its elegant shape makes it ideal for all types and size of garden. |
|
|
This Alton Octagonal cedar-wood greenhouse shown is a 6'0 5/8" x 6'0 5/8" / 1.84 x 1.84m |
|
|
The Alton Cedar-wood Octagonal 6 x 8 greenhouse has the benefit of a roof vent as standard, as well as as two side opening windows to ensure adequate ventilation in your greenhouse.
The Cedar-wood construction produces stronger and more thermally efficient greenhouses than most aluminium alternatives. Alton Cedar-wood Greenhouses are factory treated by total immersion in a preservative treatment prior to delivery.
The Alton 6 x 8 Octagonal cedar-wood greenhouse, as all other octagonal cedar-wood greenhouses in the Alton cedar-wood greenhouse range, is glazed as standard with 4mm toughened glass, which is approximately five times as strong as ordinary horticultural greenhouse glass.

The Alton Cedar-wood Octagonal greenhouse is where style is as important as functionality.
WESTERN RED CEDAR-WOOD (Thuja plicata)
The largest and finest of the cedars produced anywhere in the world, the Western red cedar-wood is famed for its extraordinary durability and resistance to decay.
Western red cedar-wood is a distinct species, possessing all the desirable qualities of the other cedars, and additional advantages besides. It can be finished to a smooth, silky finish; it is free from pitch, it takes and holds stains and paints excellently, and has superior gluing properties. Its colour is extremely attractive, varying from almost pure white of the narrow sapwood to the light straw shade of reddish-brown of the heartwood.
The wood of the Western red cedar-wood has a very low coefficient of expansion, so that it does not shrink, swell or warp excessively, even when subjected to changing degrees of temperature and moisture.
It has prime insulating qualities and its pleasing aromatic odor is repellent to moths, insects and vermin. The wood is saturated to every fibre with a natural preservative oil which renders it virtually immune to decay and gives it extreme durability without artificial preservative treatment.
It is not necessary to paint cedar-wood to preserve its surface, as it does not deteriorate appreciably even under severe climatic changes.
|
| Take the ventilation system for example. Cedar-wood greenhouses have Alton greenhouses unique Ventaccess sliding ventilators fitted to alternate bay's. These, used in conjunction with the greenhouse roof ventilation provide natural air movement around plants at ALL levels of the Alton cedar-wood greenhouse. And, as their name suggests, the side vents also give easy access from outside of your Alton cedar-wood greenhouse to plants grown underneath the staging. |
|
|
|
Automatic openers are also available, so extra ventilation can take place in your absence.
Just set and forget.
These units automatically open and close vents in response to climatic conditions. |
|
Extra side ventilation can be provided by fitting louvre vents at staging height. Use them in conjunction with roof ventilation and Ventaccess panels to promote healthy air circulation at al levels of the greenhouse.
The louvre vents are available with manual or automatic opener. |
