The Vego Victorian Greenhouse - 8ft 6in Wide combines classic greenhouse charm with practical backyard performance. Designed with an elegant Victorian-inspired profile, wide double doors, durable aluminum framing, and your choice of 4mm tempered glass or 8mm Double-wall(twin-wall) polycarbonate sidewalls, this greenhouse brings a refined look to the garden while creating a protected space for growing.

This 8ft 6in wide model is ideal for gardeners who want a more premium appearance than a basic polycarbonate greenhouse while still keeping the footprint manageable. It provides enough room for seedlings, herbs, vegetables, flowers, and seasonal plant protection without overwhelming a residential yard. 

Compared to the wider Victorian models, the 8ft 6in version is easier to place in smaller gardens while still offering strong airflow, low-threshold access, and the distinctive style that makes the Victorian Series stand out.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Vego greenhouses are designed for DIY-friendly assembly, but proper site preparation is critical for long-term performance. A level, stable foundation ensures the frame stays square, doors operate smoothly, and panels remain properly aligned over time.

• Choose a location with strong sunlight exposure and good drainage.
• Install on a level base such as concrete, pavers, or compacted gravel.
• Confirm final dimensions before preparing your foundation.
• Anchor the greenhouse securely, especially in areas with wind exposure.
• Two-person assembly is recommended for efficiency and safety.
