Description
Transform your gardening experience with the Swallow Raven 8 x 12 ft thermowood greenhouse. This spacious greenhouse, crafted from heat-treated timber, offers exceptional durability and a perfect environment for your plants to thrive. Equipped with double doors for easy access, toughened glass for superior insulation, and four roof vents for optimal airflow, it’s designed to withstand the elements while enhancing your garden’s beauty. Ideal for both novice and seasoned gardeners, this greenhouse allows you to extend your growing season and cultivate a wide variety of plants, creating a lush, vibrant space.
Mixing traditional design with modern construction methods unique to their range of greenhouses, Swallow use ThermoWood® to build the frame. This is timber that has been heat-treated to eliminate almost all moisture and resin. As a result, shrinkage and expansion are minimal, as is warping and rot.
The exterior of the greenhouse is very durable, inside the growing environment is ideal for a wide range of plants. No less than four roof vents introduce a fresh flow of air, and staging is fitted along one side.
Light flows through the toughened glass and the glazing is sealed with high-quality silicone. There is a 20mm damp course and in addition, you have the choice of various optional extras, for example, a rainwater collection kit to aid recycling.
Please note: In order to better portray and demonstrate this greenhouse online, the imagery on this product page may show the building in multiple sizes, colour variations and/or with accessories that may be chargeable optional extras. See the features bullet points for information on what's included as standard.

Choose Your Colour Finish
Standard Finish -The standard finish on all Swallow greenhouses; plain Thermowood which is kiln-dried redwood pine that has undergone heat treatment, removing its moisture to make it exceedingly durable as it will not expand or contract with weather changes. Expected to last for up to 50 years when cared for and maintained.
Oiled Finish - Upgrade to an oiled finish to receive the same benefits of Thermowood from the standard finish, plus an an added oiled coating. The oiled finish will help to protect the timber even further, and lasts for 12 months on average before requiring retreatment for continued protection.
Painted Finish - Alternatively, upgrade to one of the painted colour finishes which utilises standard Thermowood, along with two topcoats and then glazed and sealed in your chosen colour. On average, the painted colour finish will persist and protect the greenhouse for around 3-5 years before requiring repainting.

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 due to service limitations:
- 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 8 - 12 weeks to the majority of England and Wales locations, along with Scotland, Devon and 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.
Pay In Full or Pay Just a 20% Deposit
On our Swallow greenhouse range we allow the ability to pay in full at the time of ordering, either online through our website or on the phone. Or alternatively, we can arrange to confirm and take your order with just a 20% deposit taken at the time of ordering, with the remaining balance to be paid on the day of your greenhouse delivery and installation. If you'd like to order your Swallow greenhouse today by paying a 20% deposit, simply give us a call on 0121 355 7701 so that we can send you over a unique order invoice for your deposit payment, and all of the handy details relating to receiving your new greenhouse.
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 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.

Questions and Answers (1)
Richard Asked:
Is this greenhouse fixed to the ground? If it is, how is it fixed?
We Replied:Dear Richard Thank you for your question. The majority of our Swallow greenhouses need to be fixed to the ground and this is mostly done by screwing through both the bottom rail and damp-proof barrier using 80mm concrete screws. The only time when we wouldn't fix one of these greenhouses into the ground is if it’s a potting shed or if you are using an eco-base or porcelain tiles as they can crack under pressure. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Gaby
