That depends entirely on your taste and what you want to do with the greenhouse. Do you want to experiment with growing vegetables? Then you'll have exactly what you need with one of our very well constructed hobby greenhouses . Do you have a passion for exotic plants? If so, you should opt for one of our tropical greenhouses with insulated glazing. Do you want to use your greenhouse or conservatory as a winter garden or relaxation area? In that case an orangery might be just the thing for you. Do you want to build a glazed area adjoining your garden chalet or house? Take a look at our range of conservatories

That is, of course, something you decide for yourself. But our experience teaches us that a greenhouse is rarely too large, but it is important to carefully consider what you want to grow and how much space you will need. Also keep in mind how much time you want to spend on your it (sowing, weeding, watering, etc. ). We always recommend drawing up a plan. Measure the available space in your garden and draw the layout of your greenhouse. This will give you a good idea of how big it should be. And don't hesitate to bring your plans to Euro-Serre, so we that we can offer the best advice. Do you already know what your greenhouse or conservatory might cost?

A permit is not required for most greenhouses in Belgium. Belgian regulations require that the total area of your outbuildings must not exceed 40 m2 and the height must not exceed 3.5 m. You can find the exemption conditions on the government website or in this informative article.

We supply our greenhouses as a construction package and always provide a detailed assembly plan with each one. This makes assembling our greenhouses as easy as pie for every do-it-yourself fan. With just one helper, you can assemble any of our basic models in one day. Please check our YouTube channel for the step-by-step instruction videos.

But perhaps, you are not so keen on construction work and you find assembly plans daunting? In that case, why not let our craftsmen assemble it for you. The cost of installation varies, depending on the model and the size of the greenhouse or conservatory.

The location has a very important effect on the climate inside. Where is the best place for your greenhouse? We are happy to give you tips!

The ideal orientation of a greenhouse is with the roof ridge running in a north-south alignment. This way, you make the most of the sunshine, and it is better sheltered from wind. It is preferable to have the doorway facing south. Not only do your plants in the greenhouse benefit from the heat, it also prevents it from getting too hot inside. You always open the doors during the day on a hot summer days. Do you want to use your greenhouse, conservatory, veranda or orangery as a relaxing place? In this case, orient it toward the south and enjoy the sun to the full.

Do not install your greenhouse or conservatory near tall trees. They take away lots of sunlight, and falling branches during storms can cause damage.

Laterally, your conservatory should be level and walls should be perpendicular. Lengthwise, you can have a slight incline. The surface may have an incline of about 1 cm per running meter, so that rain water can drain away smoothly. Use a spirit level and make sure that the bubble is just against the line.

In a flat garden with normal soil conditions? No. When purchasing your greenhouse, you can choose a suitable aluminium foundation profile: a stable base that makes a concrete foundation unnecessary. After assembling the greenhouse, pour some quick-setting concrete around the provided ground anchors after a few days for extra stability. You’ll need approximately 13 kg of quick-setting concrete per anchor hole.

In case of significant height differences or unstable ground? Yes. If you opt for a fully concrete foundation, we supply a small foundation profile that can be fixed onto a concrete edging. Request the foundation plan along with the installation instructions to ensure you're well prepared for your greenhouse.

If you want to place your greenhouse directly on the ground, you need to clear it of any obstacles beforehand. You should rake the ground as flat as possible and then pound it well before starting assembly. Obviously, one does not want the construction to sink too far into the ground when installed. Next, lay the profiles level (using a spirit level) and fix the corners by inserting foundation-anchors into the ground. Once the greenhouse is assembled, and after a few days, pour some fast-setting concrete around the provided ground anchors, to ensure extra firmness.

The glass for your greenhouse is tailor-made and should fit perfectly into the profiles. If you notice any problems fitting it, first check that all profiles are square and level. Then loosen the nuts slightly and snap the glass in from above and then from below. Now your glass fits! Watch how it's done here

Something probably went wrong during assembly. In particular, check that you have correctly assembled the side profiles of the roof vent. One piece (the lip) of the relevant profile is longer than the other. The long lip needs to be facing inwards, otherwise your frame will be just too small. Check your assembly manual carefully to see the correct direction of the roof profiles.

The sliding door must slide smoothly along the track rail. If it doesn't, the lower cross member is incorrectly installed. It must be rotated 180° so that the deep groove in the profile is facing downwards. Check your door profile assembly manual again, and you'll see the difference.

A foundation anchors your greenhouse securely and prevents shifting or settling in bad weather. It also distributes the weight evenly, improving stability and durability.

Not always. For flat, stable ground, the aluminium base frame included in your kit is sufficient. Concrete is only required for uneven or unstable ground, or as an optional reinforcement.

First, make sure your wall is level and has the correct dimensions. Ask your dealer for a wall plan to prepare properly. Your Euro-Serre kit includes a wall profile that ensures a clean and secure connection. The integrated drip edge also ensures proper rainwater drainage. 

An aluminium greenhouse or conservatory is timeless, non-wearing, and requires little maintenance. The material is light but extremely sturdy, and we can supply it finished in every available RAL-colour. And aluminium is a good heat conductor and the narrow profiles allow maximum sunlight and warmth penetration.

Our greenhouses and conservatories are equipped with 4-mm clear float glass, as standard, and with good reason.

Our greenhouses and conservatories are equipped with 4-mm clear float glass, as standard, and with good reason. Float glass insulates and provides very good light transmission. Furthermore, float glass is 30% stronger than ordinary horticultural glass, so it's very good in cases of strong winds or if a tree branch falls onto the roof or windows.

Of course, we apply 14-mm thermopane glass or 16-mm polycarbonate on structures for tropical plant lovers. And the option of tempered or safety glass is always available.

Our greenhouses are fitted as standard with 4-mm clear float glass. Float glass is used as standard in the horticultural world because it is extremely strong and allows a lot of light in. We recommend that tropical plant enthusiasts opt for thermopane glass or polycarbonate sheets.You can also order safety glass (= toughened glass) from us, although in most cases standardfloat glass will suffice.

Most customers choose basic RAL colours, such as black, white, anthracite, red, etc., but in principle we can paint your greenhouse in all conceivable colours.

No, a Euro-Serre is not 100% watertight. Our greenhouses are built using greenhouse profiles, which function differently from window profiles. This ensures natural ventilation and moisture regulation, both essential for healthy plant growth.

Our greenhouses are equipped as standard with 4 mm safety glass (tempered float glass). Its high light transmission (90%) is essential for optimal plant growth. In addition, safety glass is exceptionally strong. If it ever breaks, it shatters into small, rounded fragments instead of sharp shards.

Safety glass is the safest choice. In case of breakage, it breaks into small, blunt fragments rather than dangerous shards. That is why Euro-Serre uses safety glass as standard.

Our tropical greenhouses are finished as standard with thermopane glass in the side walls and polycarbonate in the roof. This insulating material consists of multi-wall panels with an air layer in between, allowing heat to be retained more effectively and reducing temperature fluctuations.

For tropical plants, a stable and warm climate is more important than full transparency — and this is exactly where the Tropic models excel.

Aluminium is very maintenance-friendly, but dirty windows block the light. There is no harm in cleaning the windows and removing the green deposits with a soap solution at least once or twice a year. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, especially considering your home-grown plants nearby.

What if the doors aren't sliding so smoothly anymore? Lubricate the moving parts such as door hinges and wheels with some penetrating oil. And we recommend regular ventilation, to help ensure that moulds and diseases do not have chance to develop. After the autumn, it is best to clear leaves and twigs from the gutter, so that the water can drain away easily.

In the autumn, conditions can get pretty tough outdoors.

When the temperature drops: As soon as frosts begin, loosen the cylinders of your automatic openers and store them (in the kitchen, utility or storage room). Insulate your greenhouse with bubble wrap and/or use and electric or other type of heating to protect frost-sensitive plants.

It is getting windy: Strong winds or storm can cause glass breakage. Close the windows and doors of your greenhouse before a gust of wind blows them out.

If you want your greenhouse painted, it has to be sent to the paint shop and you have to allow for a slightly longer delivery period. Our sales team will always inform you of an expected delivery date when you place your order, and our planning service will call you about a week in advance when a team is available to realise the delivery or installation.

A good tomato greenhouse should provide sufficient height, proper ventilation and enough space for your plants. At Euro-Serre, the Euro-Maxi is the classic model for growing tomatoes in open soil. If you need more space or want to grow other climbing plants as well, the Euro-Plus is an excellent option. If you prefer a greenhouse against your house, choose the Euro-Muurserre.

Tomato plants can easily grow up to two metres tall. It is therefore important to choose a greenhouse with sufficient gutter height so that your plants can grow fully and you can work comfortably. A greenhouse that is too low limits plant growth and makes tasks such as tying and pruning more difficult.
