The Eden Burford line of greenhouses feature the popular six-foot width seen in so many glasshouses these days, with one of the biggest assortments of colour, glazing and lengths of any British manufacturer. All of the Burford structures come with a new, very useful door system which they call “zero threshold” (and for which they have applied for a patent); a single sliding door without any rail to step over, meaning you can wheel carts or small equipment into the greenhouse easily. It’s also safer for children and disabled gardeners.
Here’s a look at the Eden Burford greenhouses.
Size and Detailing: This six-foot wide line has three different size choices: 6 x 6, 6 x 8 and 6 x 10, allowing you to choose the perfect footprint for your allotment or garden. The two smaller sizes each have two roof vents, one on each side, which can opened for ventilation; the 6 x 10 greenhouses include a pair of vents on each side of the roof. Built-in gutters (80mm, wider than on many competitive models) complete with downpipes are included with all Burford glasshouses.
Frames and Base: Sturdy aluminum is used for all frames, and they’re available in either black powder coated, green powder coated or natural mill silver colours. A great feature of the Eden Burford is a strong built-in base which includes L-brackets used to screw the frame directly into a hard, flat surface. A strong ridge bar ensures stability for the greenhouse, and extra-tall eaves allow plenty of working space inside.
Glazing: The three usual glazing choices are available for all sizes of the Burford, with a nice twist. You can buy your greenhouse with 3mm horticultural glass which is really all that most home gardeners need; 3mm toughened safety glass which can hold up to strong winds and won’t shatter into dangerous shards if broken, and (here’s the twist) a twin walled polycarbonate glazing that’s a full 6mm thick. The polycarbonate material won’t shatter (making it ideal for yards where young children play), it provides almost twice the insulation for plants and vegetables as normal 3mm polycarbonate, and it’s slightly opaque which will protect delicate plants in sunny locations.
Options: Most of the crucial options which are available for the Eden Burford have already been touched on; however, you can opt for a number of other, useful additions for your greenhouse. They include automatic opening-and-closing systems for the roof vents to regulate inside temperature and air flow, the Eden silver louvre window vent which has six toughened glass slats (plus an automatic opener for the vent), many different types of staging and shelving for your plants and seedlings, and the Eden junior paraffin heater which can keep the glasshouse warm for a full week (although it’s crucial for vents to be open while the heater is in use).
Eden Burford greenhouses don’t come in the large 12 or 14-foot lengths of some other models, so they may not be suitable for very serious gardeners. For everyone else, though, these small-to-moderate sized structures provide all the strength, quality and choices you could look for.
