Description

The Swallow Kingfisher 6ft x 8ft greenhouse is one of the most popular from the range, it's a great size to fit into the majority of British gardens and allows you to enjoy growing your own fruit, vegs and flowers throughout the year.

All their greenhouses benefit from the use of ThermoWood®, timber that has been heat treated to remove moisture. This means it will not warp or rot. It's really strong and durable, so the greenhouse has a much-enhanced lifespan.

Although constructed with modern tools, the main material of the Kingfisher, the redwood pine is still very much traditional, offering a classic appearance that's expertly built by British crafters.

Many outstanding features come as standard and these can be augmented by various options. The greenhouse can also be complemented by a Combination Shed that adds storage and working space. There are two automatic roof vents to regulate growing conditions, most notably temperature and humidity. A single door, complete with a mortice lock, can be at either end while the glazing is toughened and sealed with a high-quality silicone.

Delivery Information

Delivery & Installation Overview

Where We Can Deliver To As Standard -
Inclusive delivery and installation is available to the majority of mainland England, Wales and Scotland up to a maximum of 15 miles further North of Glasgow.

Where We Can Deliver To That Requires An Additional Surcharge -
An additional surcharge will be applicable for Swallow greenhouse delivery and installations to areas of Scotland above 15 miles North of Glasgow or the Scottish Highland, if the location is available to service, and isn't part of our exceptions listed below. For serviceable locations, the surcharge price can be found under the ‘Delivery & Install Options’ above, and this option will need to be selected upon ordering.

Where We Are Unable To Deliver To -
Unfortunately, delivery and installation cannot be carried out to the following locations:

  • All IV Postcodes
  • All HS, KV, ZE Postcodes
  • All PA Postcodes
  • Limited PH Postcodes
  • KA27 and KA28 Postcodes
  • Any Other Offshore Islands and Isles
  • Northern Ireland
  • Republic of Ireland

Delivery & Installation Timeframe
*Delivery and installation will typically be made within 5 - 6 weeks to the majority of locations, and up to 8 weeks to North Scotland and Devon & Cornwall.
Delivery timeframes start from when confirmation has been submitted that your base area is prepared and ready for installation of your new greenhouse, and not from the date of your order being placed.
Both the delivery of your new greenhouse and the installation service will be completed at the same time and so the installation team will be the ones to deliver your greenhouse when they arrive to install it.
All Swallow greenhouses are crafted to order, so maybe extended during busy times of the year.

Bespoke Product Procedure
This product range is made to order on an order-by-order basis, therefore is exempt from our usual cancellation and returns policy. Any cancellations after your order has started production may not be able to be cancelled or may be subject to cancellation charges. Although a very rare occurrence, this does not affect any orders that arrive damaged or faulty, whereby our normal terms on receiving a faulty product will apply. 

Vehicles We Use
Items will be delivered on larger lorries which can get to most places it's typically, a 7.5-ton lorry which is about the size of a dustbin lorry, this will depend on the item that is being delivered and should you have any concerns with restricted access to your property we ask you to contact us prior to placing an order.

Unloading Of Your Delivery
Back garden access is required from the front of the property, as due to the size of the product and the large sections that they are delivered in, the installation/delivery team are unable to carry these items inside your home as the sections are unlikely to pass through standard indoor door sizes. When the item is delivered on a pallet, the pallet and packaging are non-returnable. Goods can only be maneuvered on a flat and level surface (i.e. not a gravel driveway) by a pallet truck. If the installation/delivery team is unable to gain access to the installation area from the front of the property, they may not be able to complete the installation, and a cancellation or rebooking charge may apply.

Base Preparation
A suitable, flat, and level base must be prepared prior to the arrangement of delivery and installation, which can affect the delivery and installation timeframe - so please ensure that this is pre-prepared as soon as possible so that your greenhouse can begin production. The installation team will contact you approx 3 weeks in advance and will request a photo of the proposed installation area before being able to confirm a delivery and installation date. This is to ensure that the area is ready and suitable, ensuring successful installation on the day.

Dimensions do not include any applicable overhang or guttering, so please ensure that there is sufficient space around your proposed greenhouse base without obstruction, for it to be sited and installed successfully.

Can't wait to start using this greenhouse

I must say that this greenhouse lives up to all of my expectations. It's certainly not a cheap purchase but if it's a once in a lifetime buy you'd better get it right and it is well worth the money. Super quality wood that I'm sure will last for many years, and everything seems so well made. I engaged the services of my nephews to build it which was fairly straight forward and the result is very pleasing with excellent ventilation and a good amount of staging. Although I will be getting used to it over the winter I can't wait until next spring to really appreciate it.

louise nowottny Asked:

How is the Kingfisher greenhouse fastened to the base? I live in a very windy area and am concerned about its stability .

We Replied:

Dear Louise Thank you for your question. The Swallow range is cleverly designed using an ingenious greenhouse base. Imagine a low profile tyre cut down to a few inches high attached to the base of the greenhouse frame. This base relaxes onto the floor and the greenhouse automatically levels itself on the cushion of air. The base grips uneven and graveled surfaces really well creating a seamless draught free bond. The key issue is the window or the door being open during high winds. These need to be secure.
