Gabriel Ash Classic Planthouse Eight on cedar base panels | Supplied + Fitted by Owen Chubb Garden Landscapers, Tel 087-2306 128

   The Classic Eight Planthouse is without doubt one of the most popular selling greenhouses from the Gabriel Ash extensive range of superior greenhouses. Standing 2971mm at the ridge (10ft) and 2061mm (7ft) at the eaves , these lofty structures are 500mm taller than the standard Classic Greenhouse, making them ideal for growing taller plants but also as a Garden retreat suitable for a wide range of leisure activities. It is no wonder that the Classic Eight is Ireland's most popular selling planthouse.  Featuring a host of high quality finishes and specifications, the standard width is 8ft (2.4m) and the modular 'panel' framework design, the planthouse can be easily made to any length, starting from 3.0m (10ft) and with additional increments of 60cm/2ft (being the width of the panel). Popular selling lengths are 3.0m -4.8m (10ft - 16ft). All planthouses come with 1 set of double doors (1130mm wide for easy opening and access) as standard. Doors are fitted on the gable end and thanks to the high eaves, doors can also be fitted on the long side (curtain wall) subject to an additional charge.  Planthouses are usually installed on a low (dwarf) brick wall or cedar base panels. As with all Gabriel Ash greenhouses, the Classic Planthouse Eight comes with a 10 year structural guarantee. All Classic Planthouse Eight buildings are exceptionally well made and with a modular and versatile design making them the ideal choice for growing tall plants but equally as a valuable garden room.  

 
Specifications Overview  
 
Cedar 
The framework is in a top grade Western Red Cedar which is grown on the Western Sea Board of North America. It has long been used in inclement climates in the construction and garden industries due to its longevity (the timber contains natural preservatives), stability (it does not easily warp or bend being straight grained) and strength. All of the cedar is sourced from certified or sustainable forests. Cedar absorbs moisture readily which brings the natural preservatives to the surface,it does however give off absorbed moisture rapidly in its natural state, which causes no harm and is a natural process. There is a wide colour variation in the raw material, it mellows to a silver grey as exposed to weathering.  
 
Gabriel Ash Greenhouses are the only timber greenhouses to be endorsed by the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society). 
 
Glass 
All structures are glazed in Tempered Safety Glass to British Standard BS.6206 
 
Fixings 
These are a combination of solid brass and stainless steel, both being suitable for use with Western Red Cedar due to their resistance to corrosion by the timber itself and extreme weather conditions. 
 
Aluminum 
We use powder coated aluminium to provide improved weather protection, ventilation and long lasting strong rainwater goods.The gutters and downspouts are solid aluminium providing compatibility with proprietary rainwater systems and so may be used to link with rainwater saving tanks and butts.The cedar roof spars are protected on the exterior by cappings with neoprene gaskets securing the glass and ensuring weatherproofing. All products have an alumimium plinth on which the structures sit, this raises the timber off the brickwork protecting it from rising moisture and giving a stronger fixing into the foundation.  
 
Automatic Ridge Ventilation 
All Greenhouses have our unique automated ventilated ridge using heat sensitive openers. The ridge runs the entire length of the structure providing a favourable ventilation pattern in normal growing conditions.  
 
Optional Extras 
Sash windows (Planthouse are supplied with windows as standard, ie a minimum of 2 + depending on overall length)  
Cedar staging and shelving to either or both sides. 
Louvre vents to provide additional ventilation, these may be located in almost any position. 
Single/Double Door(s)  
Coldframes (various sizes available) 
Seed Trays (Set of 3) 
Potting Trays 
Water Butts 
OSMO timber treatment to protect timber against the harmful effects UV rays (fading). Only available prior to installation 
 
Base/Foundations 
Upon confirmation of order we provide the customer with specification for the preparation of the base. Alternatively we can also quote for completing the Base/low wall, as well any plumbing/electrical installation works which the customer may require. We offer a complete turnkey service, ie supply, delivery and installation.
