Grow vegetables, raise seedlings and keep your garden going for longer with the Eden Hobby Greenhouse. Perfect for growing tomatoes, herbs and enough courgettes to supply the entire family (and maybe the neighbours). It also makes a rather peaceful backyard escape when everyone inside is getting on your nerves...
Measuring 3.14m × 2.53m (10'3"x 8'3"), it offers plenty of growing room without taking over the entire backyard. The generous 2.46m apex height also creates a more comfortable space to move around and work in.
This updated Eden model includes PVC capping between the polycarbonate panels to help create a tidier finish and reduce gaps where water may enter. Diagonal bracing has also been added to improve the overall stability of the structure when it is correctly assembled and securely anchored.
With two hinged doors, two roof vents, built-in guttering and included downpipes, it has the practical features needed for everyday backyard growing. It is supplied as a DIY kitset with illustrated assembly instructions, so you may need a mate and a couple of beers to put this together.
The Eden is an entry-level residential greenhouse intended for hobby gardening in a sheltered backyard location. It is not engineered or wind-rated for exposed, coastal or high-wind sites.
Choosing the Right Location
This greenhouse is designed for sheltered residential backyards and normal everyday weather conditions. Choose a level location protected from prevailing winds by your home, fencing, established trees or another substantial structure.
It is not suitable for exposed hilltops, open paddocks, highly exposed coastal sites or areas that regularly experience strong or gale-force winds.

Installation and Wind Guidance
Correct installation is essential. The greenhouse must be securely fixed to a solid, level foundation and should never rely on its own weight to hold it in place.
For the best performance, we recommend:
Installing it in a naturally sheltered area
Securely bolting the base to concrete, timber or another suitable foundation
Ensuring the structure is level and square before fitting the panels
Sealing around the panel edges with outdoor-grade silicone (not included) during assembly
Checking and tightening all fittings after installation
Adding further anchoring or reinforcement where local conditions require it
The Eden Greenhouse has not been tested to a specific wind rating. If your property regularly experiences strong winds, we recommend choosing a heavier-duty structure designed for more exposed conditions.
