10 insider tips for your custom greenhouse
Torn between a greenhouse that looks good and one that's practical? Why choose? With a custom greenhouse from Euro-Serre, you never have to compromise. Here are 10 smart tips to help you personalise your greenhouse into a truly exceptional outdoor space.
1. Choose your favourite colour
Elegant pigeon blue (currently one of the top favourites), sleek black, classic green or perhaps terracotta red? Customisation starts with choosing the colour of your greenhouse, and it can be a bold statement. After all, showing your colours is a way to show who you are.
2. Your greenhouse on a wall base
A greenhouse installed on a brick or concrete wall base adds a timeless, elegant look to your garden. But it also comes with practical advantages: the raised installation ensures better insulation and more stable temperatures inside.
3. Use a wall for added comfort
No large garden? No problem. Place your lean-to greenhouse against the façade of your house or an outbuilding. You’ll save space, benefit from natural protection and easily integrate utilities such as water, electricity or heating.
4. Grow taller
Planning to grow climbing crops like cucumbers or beans? Opt for a taller greenhouse. With higher side walls, you gain valuable vertical space, while the matching high door keeps your greenhouse easy and comfortable to access.
5. Add elegance with a Victorian ridge
Want to add a touch of class, style or romance? A Victorian ridge in cast aluminium literally crowns your custom greenhouse, giving it a refined, regal look.
6. Extra access points
An extra door or sliding window offers easy ventilation or access to your terrace. Especially in On-Wall-greenhouses, a sliding window is a smart and stylish solution. You can always combine your doors and windows with insect screens and add a lock if you want to secure your greenhouse.
7. Automate your ventilation
With an automatic opener for your roof vent, you don't need to worry about overheating. The vent opens automatically when it gets too hot and closes again in the evening. That way, your greenhouse always maintains the ideal climate; effortlessly.
8. Maximise space with accessories
A seedbed, rack or shelving unit helps you make the most of every inch. Raise your seedlings, keep tools close at hand or create extra storage space. It's the smart way to work tidy, practical and well organised.
9. Self-build or professional installation?
Are you handy and love a challenge? Choose a self-assembly kit, complete, clear and easy to follow step by step. Prefer to leave it to the pros? Our installation team or certified dealers will take care of it for you, quickly and expertly.
