Robinsons Regent Greenhouse

Robinsons Regent 10'8 x 6'5

This 10 x 6 Regent has staging , shelving and ridge cresting as optional items. It's at the heart of the garden as a productive environment as well as the ideal place to overwinter tender plants, providing a minimum temperature is maintained.

The Regent is taller at the eaves than almost all other 6ft wide greenhouses giving plenty of headroom for gardeners and tomatoes alike!

Please note: The 'Classic Green' coloured finish is no longer available.

Robinsons Regent 6'8 x 6'5

The Robinsons Regent is a very sturdy and practical greenhouse which contains around 50% more aluminium in its glazing bars than many greenhouses the same size. It's high at the eaves too, making it a comfortable building to use and the low threshold makes access easy.

Every Robinsons Greenhouse is glazed with toughened safety glass to BS 6206 A.

Robinsons Regent 8'8 x 6'5

This is one of our popular 'package deals' situated at a GBC display centre. Almost all of our centres display this highly popular greenhouse as it provides great value for money.

It combines the strength and security of the basic Regent greenhouse with additional ventilation, staging and shelving to create a package which is highly functional.

It is pictured here in mill finish aluminium.

6 blade louvre with Autolouvre

A 6 blade louvre window glazed with toughened glass is a popular choice with Robinsons' customers. We recommend fitting it at a low level to draw air up through the greenhouse roof vents thus preventing stale air causing mildew.
Also in the picture is an automatic louvre opener, this is a useful additional accessory saving you adjusting the louvre yourself.

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.

Bar Capping and eaves drainage

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. 

Timber slatted staging 25" wide and timber slatted top shelf

Robinsons Greenhouses have a choice of timber or aluminium slatted staging. If aluminium staging is chosen the cantilever brackets and slats can be finished in white or green if coloured options are chosen. Pictured here fitted to a lean-to greenhouse you will see 7 slat wide (25") timber staging and 3 slat wide high level shelving. This is hard wearing, functional staging which needs very little maintenance and will fit in all Robinsons models except the Renaissance.

Aluminium slatted staging 25" wide and slatted top shelf

Robinsons Greenhouses have a choice of timber or aluminium slatted staging. The aluminium staging can be finished in plain mill finish or white or green as pictured here. This is the green finish 7 slat wide (25") aluminium staging and 3 slat wide high level shelving. This is easy to clean, sturdy staging which will fit in all Robinsons models except the Renaissance.

Robinsons roof vent

The number of roof vents fitted as standard in a Robinsons greenhouse 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. This picture is of the roof vent on an 8ft wide Robinsons 'Royale' greenhouse.

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 Ridge Cresting

Ridge cresting and finials are a popular option with Robinsons Greenhouses.

Supplied in either white or green, they supply the finishing touch to a high quality product.

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 gutters and downpipes

Every Robinsons greenhouse is supplied with integral gutters and a set of downpipes as standard

Robinsons Diagonal Bracing

All Robinsons rectangular greenhouses are supplied with diagonal bracing for two reasons. Firstly they add considerable strength to the greenhouse and secondly because they ensure the greenhouse remains square and doesn't move out of shape in windy conditions.

Robinsons Ten Year Guarantee

For over 60 years gardeners have valued Robinsons as the name on the very best aluminium greenhouses.

GBC, established for over twenty years, are the UK's largest supplier of Robinsons Greenhouses with displays at every one of our branches nationwide.

All new Robinsons greenhouses carry a ten year frame guarantee.

Winter Insulation

Insulating aluminium greenhouses to retain heat for overwintering tender plants and starting off new seedlings can be accomplished by using bubblewrap. This is usually pegged to the frame on the roof as well as the sides and gables but a customer sent in this picture of his solution to the pegging problem :

I have fixed the bubble insulation using three lengths of 13mm aluminium tube cut to length and suspended at the ends from the roof. The bubble wrap then just feeds up and over and down in one piece. It doesn’t require any pegging at all. It then just requires about eight pegs only, to fix the cut and shaped two end pieces. The tube can remain insitu throughout the year .

His building is a 6 x 5 Castle Balvenie but the principle would apply for any other model. Don't forget to disconnect autovents before you fit the bubblewrap or you'll lose all that lovely warm air !
