Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse Reviews

I bought an 8x6 model a few months back and after spending 4 hours erecting it I've found it to be excellent value for money. It's on a concrete base and I went for the base anchors with it so it's now secured well to the floor and feels really solid.
I'd recommend the rainwater downpipes as well so as not to waste the rain water that flows through the greenhouse's integral guttering.
I bought mine online from www.ukgreenhousesales.co.uk and received it next day. I paid £279 and the delivery was free !

Highly recommend these to anyone looking for a good value greenhouse.

GARDMAN 8X6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse Review:-

Overall we are happy with what we have, however we have been building it together for the best part of 2 full days (out at 8am and only just come in at 6pm 2 days straight)I guess we didnt expect it to take so long and myself and my partner are more than comfortable with DIY.
Top tips:
1. Use Sealant if you are in a high wind area otherwise you will be chasing your panels - try and use clear as white will show all the mistakes and errors you have w ...

Put up a Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse in the spring. Took 3 days to do it. I would suggest drilling some holes and nut and bolting where the uprights connect to the base. The clips provided allow the frame to twist off the base. The door is a nightmare. Have popped the ballrace out of two rollers. Now I prop a garden chair with a couple of bricks on it to keep the door shut. Also I didn't bother with the rubber strip edging. Far too fiddly and makes putting the glazing clips on much hard ...

for the money there is nothing wrong with this gardman polycarbonate greenhouse the only thing i would sugesst is than you put down a concrete base min 4 inch deep,and then set it on a course of bricks. where mine is positioned it can get very windy and doing the homework before hand has paid off.you can pay a lot more for a greenouse but in the end its the prepration beforehand that counts,if this product was as bad as some reviews then they would never sell any!!1

Just finnished building the Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate greenhouse. Was suprised it seems rather flimsy, but built it easiliy enough except cant get the door onto the rollers.

Not yet had the experience of any problems with the wind, but it is in a very protected corner, so should be OK I hope.

Looks lovely, but very light weight, so I am going to anchor down more to be safe.

the gardman 8x6 greenhouse is nothing but a pile of junk, half unsprayed aluminium monky metal bolts and plastic windows that would be best suited wrapping a paket of ham in tescos, cheap nasty pile of rubbish and gardman should be refunding everyone who bought one of these piles of scrap rubbish

the Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse really looks lovely and i feel blessed to have such a heavenly place to garden. unfortunately, we have had the same panel problem. we called the mfg and they claim they have had no complaints, nor suggestions, for fixing the panels. our greenhouse is sitting on the highest spot on the property and guess what? we were chasing panels for weeks into the next door neighbor's pasture. yep, over the barbedwire fence! my husband finally screwed each and every pa ...

three days to assemble the
Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse - one day to blow away - the polycarbonate panels disappeared without trace despite all precautions such as doubling up on the clips, fitting tied down battens, etc - definitely not fit for purpose - I wish I had read these reviews before buying

My Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse took three days to assemble - one day for all the panels to disappear without trace - despite fitting extra clips and reinforcing tie-down battens - I wish I had read these reviews before buying

My wife and I just spent the majority of the easter weekend putting together the Gardman polycarbonate greenhouse. 3 days later and its now scattered around the garden. I'm going to box it up and send it back tomorrow. A complete waste of time and effort. Definnetly a product not fit for its purpose.

Well its been 10 months since i wrote the review regarding using the 7 tubes of silicone to seal in the Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse panels as well as fitting the clips , We have had some really windy weather over the Autumn / Early winter up here in the Nth east of England "i live on a hill overlooking the coast" and the good news is nothing has budged ,One more mod i did do was to fit a stop where the door slides shut to stop it from being blown off the running track, Besides that ever ...

The Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse was OK while installing the PC panels, however, on a very light breezy day it was noticed how quick they are to BOW when the wind hits them. So we added extra bracing internally to the general frame work and roofing area. Then we used a strip of 2"x4" wooden batten, one strip down the inside of each side midway between top and bottom of the largest panels and bolted through to the frame at each frame point. This effectively limited the BOW from the wind a ...

Frame looks very flimsy but fingers crossed, my Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse will last a few years. I brought the greenhouse before reading any reviews. I wouldn't have if i did. However I brought 200 extra glazing clips on ebay and drilled the uprights and ran 2 rows of wire around the sides and roof. We have had some strong winds and everything is still in place. I bought an autovent from homebase for around £17.00 (own brand) and it works fine.

Just finished constructing an 8 x 6 Gardman Polycarbonate Greenhouse. After reading the problems people were having with panels blowing out decided to bead around every panel with clear silicone sealent (took 7 tubes) inside and out ,Hopefully this will hold them in place during strong winds, I have also set the base bolted onto 3"x 4" tanalised timber lengths (had to drill 10mm holes through the base to do this ) which is also bolted onto paving slabs , This seems very sturdy, (Do not rely on t ...

I don't think that I would buy this Greenhouse again. 2 days to assemble and now I have lost window panels due to strong winds. I am trying to find out where i can order more polycarbonate panels.

This Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse is poor value for money. The panels do not stand up even to the mildest wind that is experienced in the UK. With a bit more thought towards better glazing this could be an excellent product

I've got Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse, I have always been able to recover the blown out panels from the garden and my neighbours garden, but the last time it happened one has blown who knows where and I am stuck with a missing panel. Not much good as a greenhouse!

I am now struggling to buy a single replacement as everywhere seems to sell then in packs and they are nearly as expensive as the whole greenhouse! If I had known that the polycarbonate panels blew out so easily, I would never ...

This greenhouse is a rather flimsy product and not really up to the riggers of an open garden. The roof vent is flimsy and does not stay open.

Excellent advice regarding the wires to secure the panels. I have concreted the base in situ and bolted the greenhouse frame to it at several points.I hope you get your panels sorted out Drifter 2008, there's another storm blowing in tonight ! :o

Our Gardman 8x6 Polycarbonate Greenhouse self destructed from base in first big storm due to aluminum frame being thin, allowing metal to tear. We would not recommend buying unless in totally sheltered position..
