Don't Compromise

March 30, 2010

There are many reasons why a Robinsons greenhouse is the preferred choice for hundreds of customers each year.  Here we identify 12 standard features found on all Robinsons greenhouses that help set us apart from other aluminium greenhouses.

1. Outstanding strength - Considerably thicker aluminium than our competitors resulting in stronger greenhouses built to withstand the toughest weather conditions.

2. Automatically opening roof vents - Don't worry about your greenhouse temperature when you're away as the roof vents will automatically open when it gets too hot and stay closed when it's not.

3. Kick panels & extra strong sills - The use of small pane kick panels means damaded glass can be more easily & cheaply replaced if necessary. Extra strong sills remove the need for a separate metal base.

4. Personalise with our options - Create your perfect growing environment by specifying options such as height adjustable staging & shelving, louvre vents, shading etc.

5. Low level access - For easy wheelbarrow and wheelchair access.

6. Peace of mind - All Robinsons greenhouses come with a free 10-year guarantee.

7. Toughened safety glass - 4mm thick glass (BS 6206 Class A) which is 4 times stronger than standard glass in full lengths with no joins where unsightly mildew can gather.  Our unique bar capping holds the glass securely in place.

8. Lockable door - Supplied as standard to help keep the contents of your greenhouse safe.

9. Fit & finish - Choose from a range of designs (rectangular, dwarf wall, octagonal or lean-to) in a choice of three finishes (mill, green or white) and many sizes to suit your greenhouse gardening needs.

10. Precsion engineered - Thick aluminium sections cleverly configured to produce an extra strong greenhouse with maximum light penetration for better growing.

11. More headroom & growing space - Compared to our competitors our greenhouses have the highest eaves and don't require obtrusive front to rear rails.

12. Integral guttering with downpipes - Unique guttering system built into the design at eaves level with downpipes to take water away.

Nobody else includes all these features and benefits as standard.  Don't compromise - choose Robinsons!  Request your brochure pack for more information on why a Robinsons greenhouse is right for you!

Robinsons strength comes to the fore as weather worsens

December 18, 2009

Each winter sees Robinsons receive a string of endorsements from its retailers with display sites who see for themselves how strong Robinsons greenhouses really. As wind or snow sees competitor greenhouses collapse in front of their eyes, time and time again Robinsons are left standing.

Robinsons greenhouses are built to withstand the worse that the British weather can throw at it. The key to this success is the strength of our greenhouses produced through a combination of clever design, use of the best materials and thicker aluminium. The result is a range of super-strong greenhouses that out perform other aluminium greenhouses.

Strongest frames – Robinsons greenhouses has 32% more aluminium in its frames than its main competitor. This means that the frame is far stronger and consequently stands up to far stronger winds. It also means Robinsons greenhouses do not need numerous extra bracings to give extra strength – bracings that are obtrusive and add clutter.

No extra base required – Robinsons greenhouses require no extra metal base. A metal base can cause a weakness by creating a join at the crucial bottom of the greenhouse (it also creates a step to trip over and a dirt trap). Robinsons greenhouses are strong enough without a base because of the extra strong cills.

Capping and glazing strength – The Robinsons glazing system is unrivalled and legendary within the greenhouse industry. The unique capping system squashes the glass down firmly onto an air filled cushion rubber creating the best possible seal. The capping is then screwed in rather than flimsier clip in capping used by competitors.

One Robinsons retailer was so impressed they even asked if Robinsons Greenhouses are the strongest in the world? All we know is that we sell plenty to the most exposed places in Britain and they are still standing!
