Robinsons Renaissance 7'7 x 5'7
The Renaissance is on display at over 20 GBC branches up and down the UK.
Pictured here in mid summer at our Southport branch it's a very attractive building. The specially fitted staging makes it practical too ... using the available space to best effect.
Every new Robinsons Greenhouse comes with a ten year frame guarantee and toughened safety glass.
Robinsons Renaissance 7'7 x 5'7
Pictured on a late winter's day at our Shrewsbury branch, this Robinsons Renaissance is finished in green and has the optional timber slatted staging and top shelves.
The Renaissance creates a wonderful focal point in any garden and provides considerable headroom for taller gardeners and taller plants alike !
Every new Robinsons Greenhouse comes with a ten year frame guarantee.
Robinsons Renaissance 7'7 x 5'7
This example of the Renaissance Greenhouse sits comfortably in the corner of this garden. Green, white or plain mill aluminium finish are available.
Robinsons Renaissance 11'7 x 5'7
This is the largest of the Robinsons Renaissance range and features double sliding doors rather than the single door supplied with the two smaller sizes. Two roof vents and two louvre windows are included but the staging is an optional extra.
The ridge cresting and finials are standard features of the stylish Robinsons Renaissance.
Robinsons Renaissance Spider
This is a detail photo to show the joint in the roof where the glazing bars intersect. It gives a good idea of the strength and quality of finish of the Renaissance. The nut caps are fitted as standard with all Robinsons models.
Toughened Safety Glass
All Robinsons Greenhouses are fitted with 4mm toughened safety glass which complies with BS6206 Class A. This is 4 times stronger than standard glass of the same thickness.
In the unlikely event of breakage, it shatters into small pieces, much as car windscreens used to, thus minimising any risks.
The glass is secured in place with Robinsons' unique bar capping system.
Downpipe, Eaves drainage, Bar capping and Gutters
This picture illustrates the detail of the Robinsons glazing system which is strong, thermally efficient and neat. Each pane of glass is held in place by full length 'bar capping' which reduces draughts and removes the need for unsightly clips. The bars are screwed in place and a final cap is applied to hide the screw heads and provide an attractive, easy maintenance finish.
Also in the picture you will see the drainage holes which are necessary to remove condensation from the internal eaves. This is a problem which most greenhouses don't cater for ... condensation runs down the inside face of the glass and gathers in the eaves. Robinsons cure this with strategically placed drain holes as pictured.
The gutters and downpipe drain the Renaissance roof to ground level or to a water barrel.
Greenhouse sample boards
Have you wanted to see the difference between a Robinsons greenhouse frame and other makes of greenhouse ?
At each GBC branch we have a sample board to demonstrate the differences.
You'll see that the Robinsons greenhouses contain nearly 50% more aluminium than other leading brands!
6 blade louvre window
6 blade louvre windows glazed with toughened glass are a popular choice with Robinsons' customers. We recommend fitting them at a low level to draw air up through the greenhouse roof vents thus preventing stale air causing mildew.
The Renaissance is fitted with two side louvre vents as standard.
Robinsons Renaissance roof vent
The number of roof vents fitted as standard in a Robinsons Renaissance varies according to its size and is shown in the current pricelist. You can choose to add extra roof vents should you feel it necessary but please remember they can't fit in adjacent panels in the roof.
Every Robinsons roof vent is supplied with an automatic opener :Imagine getting up on a hot summer morning to find everything in your greenhouse has keeled over from the heat ... this is what an automatic opener will help prevent.
As the temperature rises the roof vent will open to ventilate the greenhouse and protect your valuable plants.
Robinsons Fix Down Brackets
These brackets are supplied as a standard component to enable you to fix your greenhouse to the base. They are generally rawlplugged and screwed in place once the assembly of the greenhouse is completed either by you or your nominated greenhouse fitter.
Robinsons Renaissance Door Threshold
OK. So it isn't the most exciting photo but if you have difficulty with mobility it's nice to be able to walk straight into this greenhouse without a step to negotiate !
Robinsons Renaissance Staging
This 5 slat wide timber staging is supported on cantilever brackets which leave the floor area free of unsightly and awkwardly placed staging legs. The staging width is 19"( 480mm ) and the height can be set to your requirements when the building is first installed. It can be adjusted but it's a little time consuming !
Because the staging is made specifically for the Robinsons Renaissance, it utilises the space available to best effect.
Robinsons Renaissance High Level Shelf
The high level shelving is supported on cantilever brackets which can be set at the height you wish. It is three slats wide ( 11" 28cm ).
You can choose to buy sections for each end as pictured and/or the infill between the ends.
Robinsons Renaissance Door lock and handle
The picture shows the detail of the lock provided with each Robinsons Renaissance. Keys are supplied. The 11'7" long model with double doors has a slightly different lock.
Robinsons Renaissance Ridge Crest and Finial
The ridge cresting and finials are a standard feature of the Renaissance.
Plain aluminium versions of the Renaissance have white cresting and finials.
