FAQs
- Do aluminium greenhouses need a base?
- Most are designed for a perimeter base kit (often sold separately — check the listing) on slabs or concrete. Skipping it twists the frame and cracks glazing; it's the most common assembly mistake.
- Powder-coated or mill (silver) aluminium?
- Structurally identical: powder-coating adds colour and a small premium. Mill finish weathers to a dull grey but lasts just as long — pick on looks and budget.
