An 8 by 6 is bigger than the label suggests

Greenhouses are sold in imperial feet on a label. Put the real thing on the plot and the size lands properly.

Choose a size

Shown at real size

Drag to walk round it

Opens your camera. Point it at the plot.

Once it appears: one finger drags it, two fingers turn it. It does not need a clear floor. Drop it where it fits and judge the size against what is already there.

Siting and staging

Where it goes, and what you get inside

Light, shelter and a path all round. Then count the staging.

Hand it over

Let them scan it and hold their own phone up

The camera view only works on a phone. Point the code at their camera, and this page opens on their handset. That is the moment the idea sells itself.

Greenhouse sizes are quoted in nominal imperial feet and actual metric dimensions vary between manufacturers. Planning permission is not normally required for a greenhouse within the curtilage of a house under permitted development, subject to the usual outbuilding limits on height, position and total ground cover. Glass greenhouses near play areas may warrant toughened glazing.
