Halls Greenhouse Base

Each greenhouse model has a prefabricated galvanized steel base available as an optional accessory.

The base provides the firm foundation each kit requires, and may be set directly on firm, level soil. The anchor stakes included with each base should be inserted in 'pockets' of concrete to secure the greenhouse to the ground.

The extra 5" of height provided by the base is an added bonus as well.

Available in Aluminum finish only.

FAQ

What is a greenhouse base?

It is better described as an upstand on which the greenhouse sits, as opposed to the foundation or floor on which the greenhouse is sited. This upstand base is normally about 5" tall and raises the greenhouse to an acceptable internal level. This creates a step. More importantly an upstand base allows the lipped edge of the greenhouse frame to fit over it perfectly.

Do I need a greenhouse base?

In most instances the answer is yes. But you do not have to buy the pre-formed version, you can build it yourself out of bricks. This is more solid. If you wish to do this you will need to obtain BASE DIMENSIONS.

Do I need a foundation or floor?

A prepared concrete or slabbed foundation is ideal.

What if I want to plant in the soil under the greenhouse?

You can excavate the ground around the perimeter of the greenhouse to create a strong foundation. Dig out a spades width to a depth of 5-6" around the edge. Fill the bottom 3-4" with rubble, hardcore, stones etc. and crush it in. Either add 2-3" of concrete mix on top, if you want concrete, or add a few more smaller stones, firm down & top with 1" sand, on to which you can lay slabs (maybe 18" x 9"). Alternatively fill all the hole with hardcore, crush in firmly and top with a sprinkling of sand to level it off. Slabs may be laid as a central path.

Can I erect my greenhouse on soil or turf?

Soil or turf is definitely not sufficient for a greenhouse foundation.

Can anyone erect a greenhouse?

Yes, make sure you put the frame together loosely, then go around it progressively tightening up, as if you were tightening the nuts on a car wheel. Glaze the roof first (both sides) before glazing the sides and ends. Use gloves!
