Malvern Retreat Greenhouse

Garden Retreat 12ft x 6ft9in

The Garden Retreat is versatile, functional and good looking. Shed and greenhouse attach together to provide a compact unit for growing, storage and working.

Pictured here is the 12ft wide model which utilises a 6ft deep shed with the 6ft deep lean-to. A variety of lengths ( this one is 6ft 9in. ) are available. The building featured here is constructed in cedar, has an optional internal sliding door and also optional staging, shelving and guttering.

All of our greenhouses have toughened safety glass fitted and the Retreat is no exception !

The Retreat is avaialable in a choice of cedar cladding or pressure treated timber construction.

Pressure treatment is literally that : all components of the building are placed in a large pressurised cylinder which forces the preservative deep into the timber. The formulation of the preservative gives the pressure treated Retreats their green / yellow hue which complements so many gardens.

Good looks and an extended lifetime are the main benefits of choosing pressure treated construction as pictured.

If you compare this to the photo above you'll notice that the pent shed section is 4ft rather than 6ft wide which reduces the overall width.

Staging, shelving and guttering are options fitted to this building and a workbench is a favourite extra choice for the shed section. One opening window is supplied for the shed.

The Retreat can be installed for you by Malvern's own teams of skilled fitters.

If you compare this to the photo on the left you'll notice that the building has the greenhouse on the right rather than the left... just remember to specify that when you order !

This unit has a 4ft shed section with a 6ft wide lean to greenhouse attachment. It is 3 panels deep ( 6ft9in )

This is an old picture of the Retreat .. you can tell because the door is fitted with a rim lock rather than the secure mortice lock we now use. 

The picture illustrates some features of the Retreat which are well worth pointing out : the optional bench in the shed and optional cedar panels around the base of the greenhouse for instance. 

The staging and shelving have also been upgraded since this picture was taken .. part of the continuous process of improvement we undertake.

Internal sliding door

This is a popular option with the Retreat as you can cross between the buildings on those miserable wet days without getting soaked ! You can see the cedar cladding on this building in a little more detail.

Cedar Staging and Shelving

The Malvern Retreat has been a favourite for over ten years with quality of construction at the heart of its success.  The staging and shelving is substantially stronger and better than other manufacturers' offerings.

We have done away with old-style staging legs which make it difficult to sweep out the greenhouses or store items beneath the staging. Our cantilevered staging and shelving are hugely popular. 

Retreat Staging and Shelving

Sturdy, solid, Cedar or pressure treated runners on cross bracing, supported by heavy duty cantilever brackets ... that's how the greenhouse staging is constructed.

In practical terms it is easy to wipe down as it isn't rough - sawn timber like other makes.   Compare the quality of this staging with anything else on the market and we guarantee you'll be very impressed.

All components of the staging as pictured are pressure treated.

Retreat Workbench

A sturdy workbench is available for the Retreat. It's constructed in either preservative treated deal ( pine ) or in pressure treated timber as pictured.
