Alton Evolution Octogonal Greenhouse

The Alton Evolution Octogonal Greenhouse is an astutely designed, robust greenhouse - using the same construction method as the rest of the Alton Evolution range. The finish, attention to detail and amount of material used to manufacture it, is unprecedented at this price. All of the potential 'rot points' have been designed out of the greenhouse.

This greenhouse is guaranteed not to rot for 10 years. That said, we would recommend you treat your greenhouse every 3 years, this way your greenhouse could last 30, 40 maybe even 50 years.

The Alton Octagonal Greenhouse is a luxury garden greenhouse that combines timeless style with exceptional horticultural performance. Crafted in the UK from premium Grade 1 Western Red Cedar, this rot-resistant wooden greenhouse offers natural beauty, long-lasting durability, and an optimal environment for plant growth.

A unique aluminum base plinth elevates the timber frame, protecting it from moisture and ground-level wear. The lockable double doors with a low threshold allow easy access, even with wheelbarrows or trays.

Now upgraded with sleek aluminum staging and integrated guttering in a contemporary Moss Green powder-coated finish, the Octagonal model delivers a perfect blend of modern design and traditional craftsmanship.

    Overview

    The Evolution Octagonal is a cedar greenhouse that people stop to look at. Its eight-sided shape combines timeless style with a bright, even growing space, and it is crafted in the UK from Grade 1 Western Red Cedar from Canada, knot-free, dipped and sealed.

    It uses the same construction as the rest of the Alton Evolution range: thick glazing bars from 44 x 44 mm timbers, and 44 x 69 mm in places, mortise-and-tenon joinery, stainless steel hardware and knee brace spandrels at every rafter. An aluminum base plinth raises the timber away from ground moisture, and every potential rot point has been designed out.

    Large single panes of 3 mm toughened safety glass keep it bright and easy to clean. Two roof windows open automatically, two louvered windows add airflow, and the 9' 8" peak gives your plants a better atmosphere and gives you room to work. Guttering comes in a Moss Green powder-coated finish.

    Our tip: Treat the cedar every 3 years and your greenhouse could last 30, 40 or even 50 years.

    How delivery works

    1. 1

      You place your order

      Choose your size, color and options. Your greenhouse ships from the manufacturer's warehouse, packed for freight.

    2. 2

      We call to schedule

      We'll contact you to set up a delivery time frame that works for you.

    3. 3

      Free curbside freight

      Delivery is by LTL motor freight on an 18-wheeler. Let us know about tight roads or low wires so we can plan ahead.

    4. 4

      Receive and unload

      Someone needs to be there to receive the delivery. The driver does most of the work but may need a hand.

    Foundations and bases are bulky, so we recommend ordering them together with your greenhouse to avoid a separate freight charge.
