Patio seedlings
You want trays of herbs on a balcony or patio, and you will add your own weights because pegs do not bite paving. The DIVCHI shelf is 105 × 45 × 160 cm at about £33.29, with 4.5 from 325 reviews. You cannot stand inside it.
Gardebruk greenhouse comparison 2026
The best Gardebruk greenhouses, compared.
Top pick: DIVCHI Shelf growhouse – 4.5 from 325 amazon.co.uk reviews on a four-tier patio shelf at about £33.29. Best value: Ohuhu 12-shelf growhouse – Largest UK sample in the set, 4.3 from 4,257, on a square walk-in still about £69.99. Updated October 2026.
A Gardebruk search on amazon.co.uk is either a light steel frame with polyethylene foil or an aluminium frame with 4 mm twin-wall polycarbonate, a sliding door and roof vents. The twelve listings are the other brands that show up in that search. You still separate a useful cheap house from a weak one by footprint, whether you can stand and turn, a stated cover weight, pegs or a skirt, and a vent that is more than a single zip. Cover, vents and planning limits are in the [Gardebruk greenhouse buying guide](/hub/raised-beds-greenhouses-and-compost/gardebruk-greenhouse/sub/gardebruk-greenhouse-buying-guide). A greenhouse in this search is either a light cover you peg down for a season or a polycarbonate house you hope to leave up. Gardebruk’s own foil and 6 × 6 to 6 × 12 pages, sit outside this folder.

The DIVCHI is a four-tier shelf growhouse, 105 × 45 × 160 cm, with a reinforced PE cover, a roll-up double zip, and a screened vent panel, at about £33.29. Across 4.5 from 325 amazon.co.uk reviews it is the top pick in this comparison, and the 50 UK texts praise tool-free assembly, shelves that take trays, and the size for a patio. The listing’s item weight of 200 g cannot be the packed mass of a metal frame, so ignore that figure when you plan how to hold it down. The same sample reports zips leaving the track, missing parts, and covers blowing out, and the page does not list pegs or ropes. At 45 cm deep and 160 cm tall it suits seedlings and herbs, not a person walking in to turn. Four vents are listed, and it is still a light cloth tent in a UK gust.
Pros
- 105 × 45 × 160 cm, four tiers, at about £33.29
- 4.5 from 325 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Roll-up zip door and a screened vent panel
- Top pick in this comparison
Cons
- The listed weight of 200 g is not a mass you can plan around
- No pegs or ropes are stated on the page
- UK reviews report zip failure, missing parts, and wind lift
- 45 cm deep: shelves for trays, not a house you stand inside
Best for: You want a cheap patio shelf for seedlings and herbs, and you will add your own weights.
Less suitable: You need to walk in and turn, or you are treating the 200 g line as the real weight.

Common questions
What cover does the listing name?
The materials line says polyethylene. The page also lists a reinforced PE cover, a roll-up zip and a screened vent.
Does it include pegs?
No. Pegs and ropes are not stated. You add your own weights, especially on paving.
Can you stand inside?
No. It is 45 cm deep and 160 cm tall, a four-tier shelf for trays, not a house you turn in.
Our view
The JUNGLE STONE is a slim shelf tent, 145 × 75 × 195 cm, with a powder-coated steel frame, a reinforced PE cover, and ten shelves on the listing, at about £46.99 and 5.8 kg. Across 4.5 from 226 amazon.co.uk reviews, the 50 UK texts praise easy assembly, shelves that hold pots, and covers that stayed when they were tied. The title sells it for tomatoes, but 75 cm of depth and a stack of shelves is a nursery, not a bay for cordon plants to the roof. The same sample reports zips off the track, missing parts, a flimsy frame, and panels blowing out. Ropes are mentioned, and a clean peg count is not in the technical fields. At 195 cm you can stand in the aisle, and you still have to weight the skirt on a patio.
Pros
- 145 × 75 × 195 cm with ten shelves listed, at about £46.99
- 4.5 from 226 amazon.co.uk reviews
- UK texts praise assembly, shelf space, and tied-down wind survival
- 195 cm high, so you can stand in the aisle
Cons
- 75 cm deep, so it is a shelf nursery rather than a tomato bay
- UK reviews report zip failure, missing parts, and blow-outs
- A flimsy frame still appears in the same sample
- Peg count is not stated cleanly; ropes are mentioned
Best for: You want a tall, narrow shelf tent for pots on a patio or allotment path, tied down.
Less suitable: You are growing cordon tomatoes to head height, or you need a square floor you can turn in.

Common questions
Is this a tomato bay?
The title says tomato house. At 75 cm deep with ten shelves it is a nursery aisle, not a bay for cordon plants to the roof.
What cover is listed?
The materials line says polyethylene, on a powder-coated steel frame.
Are pegs listed?
Ropes are mentioned. A clean peg count is not in the technical fields, so weight the skirt on a patio.

The VOUNOT tomato house is 100 × 50 × 150 cm, with a 135 g/m² PE cover, a V-brace at the back, a roll-up zip door, four ropes, ground stakes and nylon ties, at about £23.49 and 2.7 kg. Across 4.4 from 145 amazon.co.uk reviews, the 14 UK texts praise quick assembly and the size for a few plants. That is a smaller UK sample than the Ohuhu tomato sleeve, which has 48 texts in its file. The same VOUNOT file reports zips leaving the track, a flimsy frame, water through the cover, and wind lift. At 50 cm deep and 150 cm high it covers one row of bags on a balcony, and you work from outside. It is the cheapest house in the folder, and it is still a light sail that needs the stakes in the ground.
Pros
- 100 × 50 × 150 cm with a stated 135 g/m² PE cover at about £23.49
- 4.4 from 145 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Ropes, ground stakes, and a rear V-brace are listed
- Small enough for a balcony or a single row of bags
Cons
- Only 14 UK texts in the file
- Zip failure, a flimsy frame, and wind lift are reported
- Water through the cover is in the defect notes
- 50 cm deep and 150 cm high, so you cannot step inside
Best for: You want the cheapest cover in this set for a few bags, and you will stake it.
Less suitable: You need to stand inside, or you want a UK sample in the hundreds.

The Taylor & Brown walk-in measures 143 × 143 × 195 cm, with eight shelves, two windows, a zip roll-up door, four ground pegs and four wind ropes, at about £44.99 and 8.8 kg. Across 4.4 from 126 amazon.co.uk reviews, the 39 UK texts in the file mostly praise easy assembly, a frame that feels sturdy, and shelves that take pots. The same sample still calls the frame flimsy, and the defect notes are water through the cover, wind lift, and guy ropes that perish. A bullet describes a 130 g/m² PE cover, while the technical table on the same listing says PVC, so the description does not agree with itself. On a square 143 cm footprint you can stand inside, though eight shelves leave less clear floor for a tall tomato than an empty sleeve. Pegs will not bite paving, and the ropes are the part reviewers say fails first.
Pros
- 143 × 143 × 195 cm with eight shelves at about £44.99
- 4.4 from 126 amazon.co.uk reviews; UK texts praise assembly and the shelves
- Two windows and a zip roll-up door
- Four ground pegs and four wind ropes are in the box
Cons
- A bullet says PE and the technical table says PVC
- UK reviews mention a flimsy frame, water ingress, and wind lift
- Guy ropes perish in the defect notes
- Pegs do not hold the frame on paving
Best for: You want a square cloth house you can stand in, with shelves, and you will guy it down on soil.
Less suitable: You need the cover material to match the title, or you are siting it on slabs with nothing to weight the skirt.

Common questions

What hold-down is listed?
Four ground pegs and four wind ropes. Pegs do not bite paving, and reviewers say the ropes fail first.
Can you stand inside?
Yes. It is 143 × 143 × 195 cm. Eight shelves still leave less clear floor than an empty sleeve.
Our view
The Ohuhu twelve-shelf house is 145 × 145 × 195 cm, with six wired shelves each side, a stated 10 kg shelf capacity, two Velcro side windows, ground pegs and windproof ropes, at about £69.99 and 9 kg. Across 4.3 from 4,257 amazon.co.uk reviews it is the largest UK sample in the folder, and the 50 texts praise assembly, the shelves, and houses that stayed up when they were tied down. It is the best value here because that review count sits on a square walk-in still inside the £70 band. The title says plastic and the technical table says PVC, so the cover description clashes. The same sample reports zips off the track, missing parts, brittle ropes, a flimsy frame, water ingress, and wind lift. Twelve shelves fill the floor, and tall tomatoes are better in the empty narrow houses.
Pros
- 145 × 145 × 195 cm with 12 shelves at a stated 10 kg each
- 4.3 from 4,257 amazon.co.uk reviews, the largest sample in this set
- Pegs, windproof ropes, and two side windows are listed
- Best value in this comparison
Cons
- Title says plastic and the table says PVC
- UK reviews report zip failure, missing parts, and brittle ropes
- Wind lift, water ingress, and a flimsy frame are in the same sample
- Twelve shelves leave little floor for tall cordon plants
Best for: You want a square shelf house with a large UK review count and you will peg and rope it.
Less suitable: You need an empty bay for tomatoes, or a cover description that matches on title and table.

Common questions

What hold-down is in the box?
Ground pegs and windproof ropes are listed, with two Velcro side windows.
Is the review count a UK sample?

Our view
The Ohuhu tomato house is a narrow sleeve, 200 × 77 × 170 cm, with a 130 g/m² PE cover, 16 mm tubes, a roll-up zip door and mesh windows, at about £49.99 and about 3 kg. Across 4.3 from 814 amazon.co.uk reviews, the 48 UK texts praise quick assembly, a frame that holds when it is tied down, and the length for a row of plants. Stakes and windproof ropes are in the listing, and the page tells you to drive the stakes in as deep as you can. The same sample reports zips leaving the track, missing parts, and covers that blow out. At 77 cm deep you can cover grow bags in a line, and you cannot turn with a barrow inside. The 170 cm height sits under many adult heads, so you stoop to reach the back of the row.
Pros
- 200 × 77 × 170 cm sleeve with a 130 g/m² PE cover
- 4.3 from 814 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Stakes and windproof ropes are included
- UK texts praise assembly and wind survival when it is tied down
Cons
- Zips leave the track in the UK sample
- Missing parts and covers blowing out are in the defect notes
- 77 cm deep, so you work the row from the door
- 170 cm high, which means stooping for many adults
Best for: You are covering a single row of tomato bags on soil and you will stake and rope the frame.
Less suitable: You need to stand and turn inside, or you want shelves for seed trays.

Yes. Stakes and windproof ropes are included, and the page tells you to drive the stakes in as deep as you can.
Can you stand upright?
The height is 170 cm, so many adults stoop. At 77 cm deep you work the row from the door.

The HAPPYGRILL is a polycarbonate walk-in listed at 6 × 8 × 6.5 ft (198.1 × 182.9 × 244 cm), with a sliding door, a roof vent in three positions, a rain gutter, anchor plates and stakes, at about £723.86 and 30.4 kg. The star line is 4.3 from 9 reviews, and the eight texts in the file are from outside the United Kingdom, so they are not a UK sample. Those notes mention a sturdy frame and survival when the house was tied down, and the defect tags are water ingress and wind lift. Two roof vents and anchor plates are a different hold-down from four guy ropes on a PE tent. At this price you are paying for polycarbonate and an aluminium frame, and you still do not have British reviews to read. The ridge is listed at 244 cm, close to the 2.5 m overall limit within 2 m of a boundary, so measure the site against the Planning Portal rules before you assume it can stay.
Pros
- 6 × 8 × 6.5 ft polycarbonate house with a sliding door
- Adjustable roof vent, rain gutter, anchor plates and stakes
- Stated weight 30.4 kg, heavier than the cloth tents
- Two roof vents rather than a door-only zip
Cons
- 4.3 from only 9 reviews, and the captured texts are not from the UK
- Water ingress and wind lift are tagged, without a UK sample
- About £723.86 with no British review text in the file
- 244 cm ridge needs a site check against the 2.5 m boundary limit
Best for: You want a small aluminium polycarbonate house with a roof vent, and you will look for UK reviews before you rely on the star line.
Less suitable: You are judging it on nine non-UK reviews, or you need a reviewed cloth cover under £70.

The VOUNOT walk-in is the largest cloth house in the mid band: 143 × 215 × 195 cm, a 135 g/m² PE cover, four removable shelves rated at 10 kg each, four ropes and four ground anchors, at about £69.99 and 6.7 kg. Across 4.2 from 1,635 amazon.co.uk reviews, the 50 UK texts praise plug-in assembly, the shelves, and frames that stayed when they were tied down. The floor is wide enough to stand and turn with trays, which a 73 cm shelf tent is not. The same sample still reports zips off the track, missing parts, a flimsy frame, water through the cover, and ropes that perish. Screened windows are on the listing, and a roof-vent area is not. At the top of the £70 shelf it is still a seasonal cover, not a polycarbonate house you leave up for years.
Pros
- 143 × 215 × 195 cm with a stated 135 g/m² PE cover
- Four shelves rated at 10 kg each
- 4.2 from 1,635 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Four ropes and four ground anchors in the kit
Cons
- UK reviews report zip failure, missing parts, and a flimsy frame
- Water through the cover and perished ropes are in the defect notes
- No roof-vent area is stated, only screened windows
- About £69.99 still buys a seasonal cloth cover
Best for: You want the widest cloth floor in this mid band and you will anchor it on soil.
Less suitable: You need a house you expect to leave up for several years, or you only have a 1 m strip of patio.

Four ropes and four ground anchors, plus cable ties. Screened windows are listed. A roof-vent area is not.
Is this a house you leave up for years?
No. At about £69.99 it is still a seasonal cloth cover, even with 4.2 from 1,635 reviews.

The heyfurni is 143 × 73 × 195 cm with six mesh shelves and about 40 cm of vertical gap, a 16 mm steel frame, and a PE cover, at about £49.99 and 6.8 kg. The star line is 4.2 from only 25 amazon.co.uk reviews, and the file holds 10 UK texts, a thin sample next to the Ohuhu houses with hundreds or thousands of reviews. Those texts do mention easy assembly, shelves, and a cover that survived when it was tied. They also pile up the faults: a zip off the track, missing parts, brittle ropes, a flimsy frame, mould when airflow is poor, and blow-outs. At 73 cm deep you propagate on a patio, and you do not grow cordon tomatoes up through 40 cm shelf gaps. Eight U-clips and four guy lines are in the listing, so hold-down is in the kit, and the ropes are what reviewers say snap.
Pros
- 143 × 73 × 195 cm with six shelves and about 40 cm between tiers
- 16 mm steel tubes and a PE cover at about £49.99
- Guy lines and U-clips are listed
- UK texts that are positive mention assembly and tied-down survival
Cons
- Only 4.2 from 25 amazon.co.uk reviews, with 10 UK texts in the file
- Zip failure, missing parts, mould, and blow-outs all appear
- Brittle ropes are a repeated complaint
- 40 cm shelf gaps and 73 cm depth fight tall tomatoes
Best for: You want a narrow six-shelf propagator and you accept a small UK review sample.
Less suitable: You want hundreds of UK reviews before you buy, or cordon tomatoes with headroom.

Will cordon tomatoes fit?
The depth is 73 cm and the shelf gap is about 40 cm. That fights tall cordon plants. Use it as a propagator.
Our view
The Ohuhu gothic walk-in is 180 × 180 × 200 cm, about 3.24 m², with two zip doors, two side windows, and a hem you can fill with sand, soil, or bottles, at about £59.99 and 7.6 kg. Across 4.1 from 1,080 amazon.co.uk reviews, the 50 UK texts still praise easy assembly and houses that stayed up when they were tied down. That star line is the weakest in the cheap band here: zips off the track, a flimsy frame, covers blowing out, and reviews that call it not fit for purpose. The technical table lists the frame as plastic, which is a lighter story than the steel frames beside it. Two side windows are not the roof-vent area the RHS asks for, so a shut zip on a bright day is the heat risk. The weighted hem helps on paving where pegs will not bite, if you actually fill it.
Pros
- 180 × 180 × 200 cm, about 3.24 m², at about £59.99
- Two zip doors and two side windows
- A hem you can fill to add weight on paving
- 4.1 from 1,080 amazon.co.uk reviews, with praise for tied-down wind survival
Cons
- Weakest star line in the cheap band in this set
- UK texts report zip failure, a flimsy frame, and blow-outs
- Frame material is listed as plastic
- Side windows only, not a roof vent sized to the floor
Best for: You want a square cloth house you can enter from both ends, and you will fill the hem and tie it down.
Less suitable: You want the stronger star line in this price band, or a steel frame with roof vents.

Common questions
What is the frame made of?
The technical table lists the frame as plastic. The cover is polyethylene. The footprint is 180 × 180 × 200 cm.
How do you hold it on paving?
The hem can be filled with sand, soil or bottles. Pegs will not bite slabs, so the hem only helps if you fill it.
Why is the star line the weak one here?
It is 4.1 from 1,080 amazon.co.uk reviews. UK texts report zip failure, a flimsy frame and covers blowing out.

The Pipleo is listed as an 8 × 16 ft aluminium walk-in, 4.97 × 2.44 × 2.1 m, with a sliding door, four adjustable roof vents, and a galvanised base, at about £1,850.14 and 62.4 kg. The amazon.co.uk line is 1.0 from 3 reviews, and the two texts in the file are not from the United Kingdom, so they are not a British verdict on wind or build quality. Those non-UK notes both praise a sturdy frame and complain that it is flimsy, and the defect tag is wind lift. Four roof vents are a clearer air path than a single zip door, and the footprint is a different product from a 143 cm tent. At this price, three reviews and no UK sample are why the score sits at 20. Do not read a seller line about withstanding abuse as a tested snow or wind class.
Pros
- Listed footprint 4.97 × 2.44 × 2.1 m with a sliding door
- Four adjustable roof vents
- Galvanised base and a stated weight of 62.4 kg
- Aluminium and polycarbonate rather than a zip cloth
Cons
- 1.0 from 3 amazon.co.uk reviews
- The two captured review texts are not from the United Kingdom
- Wind lift is the defect tag, with no UK sample behind it
- About £1,850.14 with almost no British feedback
Best for: You are pricing a large aluminium house and you will wait for UK reviews before you order this listing.
Less suitable: You want a reviewed UK house under £100, or you are treating three non-UK texts as a British test.

Common questions
What size is listed?
The listing says 8 × 16 ft, 4.97 × 2.44 × 2.1 m, with a sliding door and four adjustable roof vents.
Are the reviews from the UK?
No. The star line is 1.0 from 3 amazon.co.uk reviews, and the two texts in the file are not from the United Kingdom.
Is the base included?
A galvanised base is stated, with a listed weight of 62.4 kg. Pegs are not stated as a separate kit.
Our view
The Greenhouse Factory Ruby 3 is listed as a 3 × 6 m walk-in in galvanised steel with 4 mm polycarbonate and two folding roof windows, which the page puts at about 18 m² of floor. At about £2,440 it sits far above the £45 to £70 plastic tents in this set, and the capture has no amazon.co.uk star rating or review count to test the assembly claim. The listing says most buyers put it up themselves and that automatic window openers can be added, which is seller copy rather than a UK review sample. Two vents on a floor this large are a small opening next to the RHS guide of roughly 15 to 20 per cent of floor area, so you would still plan shade and extra air on a hot day. Hold-down and base weight are not stated. Until a UK review line appears, treat this as a large polycarbonate house you have not seen judged by British buyers.
Pros
- Listed as 3 × 6 m, about 18 m², with 4 mm polycarbonate
- Two folding roof windows are on the listing
- Galvanised steel frame is the stated structure
- Much more floor than a 143 cm zip cover
Cons
- No amazon.co.uk review line in the capture
- About £2,440 with no UK sample on assembly or leaks
- Hold-down and base weight are not stated
- Two vents are a small share of an 18 m² floor
Best for: You want a large polycarbonate footprint and you will check the live amazon.co.uk page for a UK review count before you pay.
Less suitable: You want a cheap seasonal cover, or you need reviews from UK buyers before you spend four figures.

Common questions
What cover is listed?
The listing says 4 mm polycarbonate on a galvanised steel frame, sized 3 × 6 m, about 18 m².
Is there a UK review line?
No. The capture has no amazon.co.uk star rating or review count.
Are two roof windows enough?
Two vents on about 18 m² are a small share of the RHS guide of roughly 15 to 20 per cent of floor area. Plan shade and extra air on a hot day.
How we compared
Twelve amazon.co.uk listings captured for this Gardebruk search are on the page. None is a Gardebruk model, and none was wind-tested or snow-tested here. Footprint and job are 25 points, cover is 20, hold-down is 20, ventilation is 15, and the UK review sample is 20. A star line with no British text does not outrank a cloth house with hundreds of UK reviews. On the cards the top pick is the DIVCHI shelf and the best value is the Ohuhu twelve-shelf walk-in.
1
Footprint and job
25%A 100 × 50 cm sleeve, a 45 cm shelf, a square walk-in and an 8 × 16 ft aluminium house are different products. Measure the ground before you trust the word large.
2
Cover
20%Polyethylene or PVC cloth against twin-wall polycarbonate. A title and a technical table that name different plastics stay as a clash, not a resolved spec.
3
Hold-down
20%Ropes, pegs, a skirt you can fill, or a steel base. A packed weight of a few kilograms is normal for these tents. A 200 g line is a listing conflict.
4
Ventilation
15%The RHS guide used here wants roof vents around 15 to 20 per cent of the floor. A door and a mesh window are not that area.
5
UK review sample
20%Under about £70, prefer a UK review count in the hundreds. Three non-UK texts, or a missing review line, are not a British verdict.

Gardebruk greenhouse buying guide
Match the footprint to the job, then check the cover, the anchors and whether the reviews are actually British.
What this Gardebruk search actually returns
A greenhouse in this search is either a light cover you peg down for a season or a polycarbonate house you hope to leave up. The twelve amazon.co.uk listings here are not Gardebruk models. Gardebruk’s own foil and 6 × 6 to 6 × 12 pages, checked on 20 October 2026, sit outside this folder. The foil page was about £49.99 with a stated 140 g/m² cover. The polycarbonate pages were about £208 to about £370.
Best for
- A patio shelf for seedlings when you will add your own weights
- A square cloth walk-in on soil you can peg
Not ideal for
- Anyone treating these twelve ASINs as Gardebruk models
- A polycarbonate house judged on three non-UK reviews
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Buying 73 cm depth for a 6 × 8
A shelf tent at 45 to 80 cm deep is not an 8 × 16 ft aluminium house. Measure the ground. The word large on a listing is not a footprint.
- 2
Ignoring a PE and PVC clash
Taylor & Brown’s copy and table disagree, and the Ohuhu twelve-shelf title says plastic while the table says PVC. Goods must match the description. Do not average the two names into one material.
- 3
Treating a thin review line as a UK test
The DIVCHI 200 g weight is a listing conflict. HAPPYGRILL and Pipleo texts in the file are not from the United Kingdom. The Ruby 3 capture has no review line. A star is not a wind or snow class.
What to weigh up
Footprint and cover
HighName the job before you compare stars. The VOUNOT tomato sleeve is 100 × 50 × 150 cm at about £23.49 with a stated 135 g/m² cover, and you work it from outside. The Ohuhu tomato sleeve is 200 × 77 × 170 cm at about £49.99 with a stated 130 g/m² cover, and you stoop. DIVCHI is 105 × 45 × 160 cm, a four-tier patio shelf. JUNGLE STONE and heyfurni are about 73 to 75 cm deep, so they are shelf nurseries, not cordon bays.
Anchors, vents and the UK sample
HighA light tent is a sail. Taylor & Brown, the Ohuhu twelve-shelf house, the Ohuhu tomato sleeve, both VOUNOT covers and HAPPYGRILL state pegs, ropes, stakes or plates. DIVCHI does not, and its 200 g line is not a planning weight. The Ohuhu 180 cm house has a hem you can fill, which is the paving option when pegs will not bite. The RHS vent guide used here is about 15 to 20 per cent of the floor. Two vents on the Ruby 3’s 18 m² are a small share of that.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Square shelf house
You want to stand and turn with pots, and you can peg into soil. The Ohuhu twelve-shelf house is 145 × 145 × 195 cm at about £69.99, with 4.3 from 4,257 reviews, the largest UK sample in this set.
A row of tomato bags
You are covering grow bags in a line on soil and you will stake the frame. The Ohuhu tomato sleeve is 200 × 77 × 170 cm at about £49.99, with a stated 130 g/m² cover and 4.3 from 814 reviews. You stoop, and you work from the door.
Common questions about Gardebruk greenhouses
Which listing is the top pick in 2026?
The DIVCHI four-tier shelf is the top pick. It is 105 × 45 × 160 cm at about £33.29, with a reinforced polyethylene cover and 4.5 from 325 amazon.co.uk reviews. It suits seedlings on a patio. It is not a house you stand in, pegs are not listed, and the 200 g weight line is a listing conflict. There is no wind or snow test behind the pick.
Which listing is the best value?
The Ohuhu twelve-shelf house is the best value. It is 145 × 145 × 195 cm at about £69.99, with pegs, ropes and 4.3 from 4,257 amazon.co.uk reviews, the largest sample here. The title says plastic and the table says PVC. Twelve shelves leave little floor for tall tomatoes. UK texts still report zips, missing parts and wind lift.
Are any of these twelve a Gardebruk greenhouse?
No. A Gardebruk search returns the brand’s own foil and polycarbonate pages, and it also returns other cheap walk-in covers. The twelve ASINs on this page are those other brands. Gardebruk’s own polycarbonate pages, checked on 20 October 2026, sat around £208 to £370, which this folder does not include. Do not read a DIVCHI or Ohuhu title as a Gardebruk model.
How much do these covers cost?
In this folder the cheap cloth houses run from about £23.49 to about £33.29, and the walk-in cloth band is about £44.99 to about £69.99. Polycarbonate then jumps to about £723.86, about £1,850.14 and about £2,440. Those are amazon.co.uk shelf prices, not a promise they hold. A star rating is not a wind or snow class.
PE cloth or polycarbonate?
Most houses under £70 here are polyethylene or a PE/PVC clash. Polycarbonate on this page is the HAPPYGRILL, the Pipleo and the Greenhouse Factory Ruby 3, and those three lack a usable British review sample. The RHS notes that clear polycarbonate transmits about 83 per cent of light and glass about 90 per cent. That light note is not a warranty for these sheets. Goods must still match the description.
How do I stop a light tent blowing away?
Pegs, ropes, a skirt you fill, or a base with stakes. A packed weight of about 3 to 9 kg is normal for the plastic tents here. Pegs do not bite paving, so fill a hem or add weights. The DIVCHI page does not list pegs, and its 200 g line is not a mass you can plan around. A no-tools line is not a one-person build in wind.
Do I need planning permission?
If the householder class applies, stay off the front of the house, stay single storey, keep eaves to 2.5 m, and keep overall height to 4 m on a dual pitch, 3 m otherwise, or 2.5 m within 2 m of a boundary. Half the garden stays uncovered. Flats and listed buildings are tighter. The wider set is in the greenhouse comparison.
When should I call a professional?
Call a professional for a listed building, a conservation-area side garden, a concrete base, or mains power into the house. A normal polyethylene cover is a two-person job on a calm day, not a job for wind. Do not treat nine non-UK reviews, or a missing review line, as a British build test. Leave a vent path open on a bright day. Two roof vents on an 18 m² floor are still a small opening.
Our verdict
Twelve houses from this Gardebruk search are on the page, and none of them is a Gardebruk greenhouse. The DIVCHI four-tier shelf, about £33.29, is the top pick: 4.5 from 325 amazon.co.uk reviews on a 105 × 45 × 160 cm patio rack you weight yourself. The Ohuhu twelve-shelf house, about £69.99, is the best value: 4.3 from 4,257 reviews on a square walk-in you can peg and rope. The three polycarbonate listings, from about £724 to about £2,440, do not have a British review sample you can use. A star is not a wind test, and a shut zip on a bright day still cooks the plants.
