Here we go over the best types of wooden greenhouses available right now, depending on your budget and size constraints.

What is a Wooden Greenhouse?
Wooden greenhouses are simply normal greenhouses made with treated timber. They are more traditional than an aluminium greenhouse, and they tend to be a lot heavier, which can make them more difficult to build. The wood is treated to be weather resistant, to allow them to be left outside all year round. Most people prefer the look of a wooden greenhouse, and they fit nicely into a natural setting. You can either assemble them yourselves, or use the included installation service.
Types of Wooden Greenhouse Kits
Small Wooden Greenhouses
Choosing a smaller wooden greenhouse makes sense when space is limited, and luckily we have a broad range of styles for you to choose from.
The narrow nature of these wooden greenhouses, means that they don't overwhelm a smaller garden space, while still giving you room to do garden tasks and pot on plants.
The popular smaller greenhouse ranges include the Swallow 4ft Lark, the Clearview Sussex, and the Swallow 5ft Robin ranges.
Large Wooden Greenhouses
A large wooden greenhouse is spectacular, representing a large structure and focal point of your garden.
Many people enjoy the Victorian style of some of the larger wooden greenhouses, and your choice of colour means you can achieve that classic white wooden look.
Some fairly large ranges include the 8ft Swallow Victorian Eagle, and the Clearview Cambridgeshire Potting Sheds, but if you want to go really big, then check out the 13ft Wide Falcon range, or the T-shaped Swallow Swaon Wooden Orangery, and the Swallow Mallard ranges.
Traditional Victorian Wooden Greenhouses
A traditional Victorian wooden greenhouse looks fantastic, and typically have tall eaves, with lots of panes, making for a spectacular looking greenhouse.
Some of our range is tailored to this style, including the Swallow Eagle Victorian Style range, and the Clearview Buckinghamshire Dwarf Wall range.
Wooden Lean To Greenhouses
A lean to wooden greenhouse has the benefit of taking up less space, and utilising the heat of the structure it leans against (making for cheaper heating costs in winter).
Our range includes several wooden lean-to's, including the Swallow Dove 6ft range, and the 4ft Wide Swallow Finch range.
Wooden Potting Shed Greenhouses
For those that can't choose between the practicality of the shed and the planting functionality of a greenhouse, choose a wooden potting shed greenhouse!
Wooden potting sheds have one side fully boarded like a shed, where you can organise and store tools, as well as have shelving / staging. The other side is fully glazed, allowing you to pot on and grow plants, ensuring they receive excellent amounts of sunlight.
Some popular potting sheds include the Swallow Jay 6ft range, and the Clearview Oxfordshire range.
Dwarf Wall Wooden Greenhouse
A dwarf wall wooden greenhouse has a small wall running along the edge, with the rest of the height made from a traditional greenhouse material.
These are excellent at providing more insulation, and look very stylish too.
Our popular wooden dwarf wall greenhouses include the Swallow Mallard T-Shaped range, and the Dwarf Wall Hampshire range.
Wooden Greenhouse Staging
The most traditional greenhouse staging is certainly made from wood, and you will find a lot of these greenhouses come with the option to add staging as part of the order.
Simply choose the type you want from the drop down box on each greenhouse product.
Wooden Greenhouse Reviews
"The Greenhouse was erected in just over an hour on the base I had prepared and it was truly amazing to see the guys in action. The greenhouse itself has definitely exceeded my expectations. Having had aluminium greenhouses in the past I would definitely recommend anyone to seriously think about a wooden greenhouse."
"I am absolutely delighted with my new greenhouse. The installation was very impressive, they even touched up a few marks with paint and left us with a small pot of extra paint plus a brush! Dedication to the job. The quality is amazing and the price was excellent value, especially bearing in mind it included delivery and put it up and it even has an auto opener. I’ve seen painted wooden greenhouses like this elsewhere for double or triple the price. I ordered a high shelf as an extra and it was well worth it. I could not be more pleased and I am so glad I ordered from this company."
"We would have no hesitation in recommending this greenhouse. It is much nicer than in the pictures, really well constructed and the team that put it up were wonderful, answered all our questions and gave us a laugh along with it, really nice people and they made sure everything was nice and clean too and tidied up after themselves. We couldn't be happier. "

Are Wooden Greenhouses Good?
Wooden greenhouses have many positives that would make you consider them as "good". They insulate well, so will keep your greenhouse warmer in the winter than aluminium. They look more traditional, and so will fit better into most garden styles. Damaged parts are also very easy to replace, even if the manufacturer no longer makes them in the future. They will feel more sturdy, and can also handle larger and more complexed designs.
