Exbury 6’ 5” aluminium Growhouse is designed to stand anywhere in the garden. At 6’ 0” (1.81m) tall, the Exbury provides plenty of growing space inside while not dominating the garden like a traditional greenhouse. The extra depth of the Exbury maximises growing space and allows taller crops such as tomatoes to be placed in the Growhouse while keeping the shelves in place.
The sliding doors provide easy access into the Growhouse and allow infinitely variable ventilation – just an inch or so in the early spring to wide open in the summer. In addition, the roof panels slide open for superb summer ventilation. The 6′ 5″ model provides a very large opening to access plants inside the Growhouse and the Exbury features sliding doors at the front and the back, allowing access from either side.
Aluminium structure with 25 year framework guarantee and stainless steel fixings – designed to last a lifetime! Ground fixings are included, for bolting to a firm base such as a patio or concrete.
The 4mm toughened safety glass provides excellent light transmission and traps early spring heat much better than plastic sheets, and unlike plastic will not go milky with age. The glass will not flex in strong winds or under snow loads.
The Growhouse includes 8 deep seed tray shelves, which can be adjusted for height and can be removed or dropped flat when not required in summer. Strong but slim aluminium bars reduce shading of the plants below. The toughened glass centre staging lets light down to the lower level and is rated to 25kg per sheet. Any or all of the three staging sheets can be removed in summer for taller crops.
The mist watering system will water the top and bottom layers of the Growhouse and has two fine spray nozzles on each layer, suitable for delicate seedlings. Connects to the hose with a standard hose fitting.
As an option, the framework can be Colour Coated.
Optional extras include an automatic louvre vent, shading for sunny locations and shelf covers for smaller pots.
Delivery to mainland England, Wales and southern Scotland included. Self-assembly with comprehensive instructions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about Exbury 6′ 5″ Classic Growhouse, answered by our team.
Is a Growhouse the same as a greenhouse?
A Growhouse works on the same basic principle as a greenhouse, creating a protected environment that helps extend the growing season. The main difference is the compact design: Access Growhouses are intended to provide useful growing space without the footprint of a conventional walk-in greenhouse. Plants are reached from outside through sliding panels, so space that would normally be used for a central path can be used for growing instead.
What can I grow in a Classic Growhouse?
Classic Growhouses can be used for a wide range of crops, including herbs, salads, seedlings, chillies and peppers, as well as plants that need extra protection in spring or autumn. Taller and deeper models can also accommodate tomatoes and other taller crops. In winter, a Growhouse is useful for protecting and overwintering suitable tender plants, although an unheated Growhouse should not be assumed to remain frost-free.
Can I use a Classic Growhouse all year round?
Yes. A Classic Growhouse can be useful throughout the year: for raising seedlings in spring, growing heat-loving crops in summer, extending harvests into autumn and protecting suitable plants through winter. However, an unheated Growhouse is not guaranteed to remain frost-free during cold weather. More tender plants may need additional insulation or a suitable greenhouse heater when hard frosts are forecast.
How do I ventilate a Classic Growhouse and prevent it overheating?
The Access Growhouse has excellent ventilation. The sliding doors can be opened a little in cooler weather or much wider on warm days, while the roof panels can also be opened for extra summer ventilation. This helps release excess heat and humidity. Automatic louvre vents are available for many models, and external shading can also be added in particularly sunny positions. Ventilation should be increased as temperatures rise rather than leaving the Growhouse fully closed on a hot day.
What are Classic Growhouses made from?
Classic Growhouses are manufactured in the UK with architectural-grade aluminium frames, stainless-steel fixings and 4mm toughened safety glass. The aluminium framework carries a 25-year guarantee. The glass provides good light transmission and, unlike plastic glazing, will not become cloudy with age. Classic models also use adjustable, removable shelving so the growing space can be changed as plants develop through the season.

I bought this in February and put it together about six weeks ago. I am very pleased with the quality of the product – it has entirely justified its price. The service following my placing the order was very good and delivery was arranged to suit when I was at home. The packaging again was very good (no missing parts) and the instructions clear with plenty of tips. I would thoroughly recommend both the product and supplier.
I’ve just finish building the growhouse, and I’m very happy with it. It took me just over a day to put up, and I was able to do it on my own. The instructions were very clear, and there weren’t any missing parts. (Putting together the automatic louvre vents was a bit more of a struggle, but that was down to user error – I’d totally missed one of the instruction sheets.) It’s expensive purchase, obviously, but it’s built like a tank – I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t last for years. It’s definitely a huge step up from the cheap plastic growhouse it’s replacing.
The only minor hitch was that there was a problem with the delivery (all down to the delivery company, rather than Access Garden Products), but the team at Access got that sorted out very quickly. As usual, it’s only when something goes wrong that you really get a feel for how good a company’s customer service is, and Access excelled here.
