4mm — Best Value
A great all-round choice for most UK gardens. Excellent light transmission and the most economical option.
Choose 4mm if: you want the best balance of performance and price.
4mm or 6mm Polycarbonate?
Both options use the same heavy-duty Polyeco Spade steel frame. The main difference is insulation and price.
6mm — Better Insulation
The thicker polycarbonate provides improved insulation and heat retention, making it a good choice for customers wanting a little more protection from colder temperatures.
Choose 6mm if: insulation and extending the growing season are more important to you.
Still unsure? For most customers, 4mm is perfectly suitable. Choose 6mm if you specifically want the additional insulation.
Why Choose the Spade?
The Spade is a strong, practical greenhouse with excellent headroom, automatic ventilation and a distinctive design that stands out in the garden.
Distinctive Profile
The Spade has straight lower sides that curve smoothly into a raised central ridge, giving it a distinctive shape with excellent headroom and plenty of usable growing space.
Strong Internal Support
The galvanised steel frame is reinforced with internal support bars, helping improve rigidity and overall structural strength.
Automatic Roof Vents Included
Automatic roof vents come as standard, helping regulate temperature and improve airflow without constant manual adjustment.
No Base Required
The supplied 30cm ground anchors allow the Spade to be installed directly onto suitable soil or grass in most cases.
Built to Grow. Not to Worry About.
A greenhouse should be the place where you worry about whether you planted too many tomatoes — not whether the next storm is going to rearrange your garden.
Its straight lower sides give you useful space close to the edges, while the curved shoulders and raised ridge create excellent headroom through the middle.
That means more room for tall crops, shelving and everyday movement without making the greenhouse unnecessarily wide.
Distinctive outside. Practical inside.
