Description

Discover the enchanting Shire Hemsby 4x4 Greenhouse, a masterpiece of design and functionality tailored for the passionate gardener. Crafted from premium FSC-certified timber, the Hemsby offers a gardening sanctuary and a beacon of aesthetic charm and architectural finesse in your outdoor space.

One of the Hemsby's most versatile features is its innovative door system. It comes equipped with four elegantly designed doors that can be installed in any of the ten designated spaces, allowing for a customisable entrance that suits your preference. Opt for a grand double door effect by placing doors on each gable end, or create a more traditional look with separate single doors. This level of personalisation is rare in greenhouses, making the Hemsby a standout choice.

The Shire Hemsby uses horticultural glass instead of acrylic glazing. It stands as the paragon of glazing materials for garden buildings, heralded for its unmatched durability, exceptional clarity, and superior insulation properties. At the heart of its appeal, horticultural glass offers unparalleled thermal performance. It's a game-changer for anyone looking to create a regulated, temperate environment within their greenhouse. 

The clarity of horticultural glass is not just about letting in light; it's about inviting the garden into your space without the barriers of distortion or cloudiness often associated with acrylic alternatives. Durability and longevity are where horticultural glass truly shines. Unlike acrylic, which may degrade or discolour over time, horticultural glass stands resilient against the elements. It resists the wear of time, maintaining its clarity and integrity through seasons of sun, rain, and frost. 

Beyond its structural elegance, the Hemsby is adorned with cresting and finials – a decorative touch seldom seen at this price point. These intricate details add a layer of sophistication and historical charm reminiscent of classic Victorian greenhouses.

Inside, the greenhouse features slatted shelving perfect for potting and ensuring efficient drainage, further highlighting the thoughtfulness poured into every aspect of its design. An automatic roof vent opener adds a modern convenience, automatically adjusting to temperature changes to provide the ideal climate for your plants.

The pièce de résistance of the Hemsby, however, is its aesthetic allure. With a decorative finial gracing both the front and rear gables, it is a testament to Shire's commitment to beauty and quality. The greenhouse is illuminated by natural light thanks to its extensive window arrangement on every side, creating an optimal environment for plant growth and a serene space for gardeners.

Constructed with Shire's renowned joinery expertise, the Hemsby is not just a greenhouse; it's a statement of style and a dedication to gardening. Its low wooden panels exude a traditional elegance, making it a striking addition to any garden. The lower panels provide a discreet storage solution, concealing items like grow bags and hand tools from view.

The Shire Hemsby 4x4 Greenhouse is your gateway to cultivating a deep-seated love for gardening. It offers a perfect blend of functionality, style, and convenience. Embrace the beauty and tranquility of your outdoor space with this exquisite structure, designed to inspire gardeners at every level of expertise.

Also available: 6 x 4 Shire Hemsby Greenhouse with Muti-access

About the Timber:

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high-quality wooden greenhouse starts with high-quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is used. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus), as this is widely available for a very cheap price. However, all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high-quality spruce (Picea) and are sourced from Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher-quality finish. This timber is slow-grown, unlike fast-grown British and Eastern Europe's timber; being slow-grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap, and far fewer knots. Therefore, the timber used in Shire's products is more durable and will last much longer than other timber. Spruce is, therefore, the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.
