Our verdict on the Greenhouse Anthracite Aluminium 2.7 m鲁24038-Serial number

The Greenhouse Anthracite Aluminium 2.7 m鲁24038-Serial number is treated using a galvanised process [1].

Base material: aluminium [2]

Our experts say this has 1 stand out feature. A stand out feature is something found on over 70% of the top 10% of products in a particular category or is an exceptionally good feature as rated by our panel of experts.

1. A galvanised treatment like the one used on this greenhouse is one our experts are happy to say is one of the best around.

Below is a brief overview of how some of the key points of this greenhouse fairs across the market.

Treatment

Fantastic, our experts say most of the treatment options used are among the best.

The galvanised treatment process used here is the best type of treatment out of 3 [3] types we’ve identified on same-size greenhouses that you’ll see getting used on 17% [4] (137 of 787) of all greenhouses analysed, as well as being used on 23% [5] (18 of 78) of the top 10% of greenhouses. You’ll also find the galvanised treatment showing up on 8% of 4′ x 4′ greenhouses (2 in total [6]), and when taking the average Expert Score of those 4′ x 4′ greenhouses (90), the Greenhouse Anthracite Aluminium 2.7 m鲁24038-Serial number is the same with an Expert Score of 90.

Cladding

The aluminium cladding(walls) used here is an about average form of construction for greenhouse walls out of the 2 types [7] we’ve identified on same-size greenhouses, that you’ll also see getting used on 23% (180 of 787) of all greenhouses analysed [8], as well as being used on 6% (5 of 78) of the top 10% of greenhouses [9]. You’ll also find the aluminium cladding showing up on 17% of 4′ x 4′ greenhouses (4 in total) [10], and if we compare this item against those 4 we find it’s Expert Score is 11% higher than the average score for a 4′ x 4′ aluminium greenhouse.

You Might Also Consider

We found 19 4′ x 4′ greenhouses with comparable specifications. The Greenhouse Anthracite Aluminium 2.7 m鲁24038-Serial number has an Expert Score that is 20% higher than average and is £159 more expensive than average. If you are looking for the best value or highest expert scoring greenhouses out of the 19 with comparable specifications the following might be of interest.

Best value – If you are looking for something comparable that costs less, then you could save £412 with this Relaxdays Tomato Greenhouse with Slanted Roof 150 x 100 x 50 cm Tomato House for Tomato Cultivation Growing as Cold Frame, Large Metal Tomato Tent and Grow House, Green, PVC. It is priced at £48, this is 859% less than this and has an Expert Score of 72, 17 points less than the Greenhouse Anthracite Aluminium 2.7 m鲁24038-Serial number.

The Greenhouse Anthracite Aluminium 2.7 m鲁24038-Serial number is the best scoring greenhouse available out of all 19 4′ x 4′ greenhouses we analysed.

Coastal Consideration – If you live in a particularly wet or harsher environment such as by the coast then you might want to consider something with a more robust pressure treatment or something made from metal or plastic, both materials that are particularly suited to such harsh environments. We’ve found at least 3 greenhouses that have a combination of features that can make them more suited to higher wind areas.

1. Galvanised: Galvanising steel or Zinc Galvanised steel as it is sometimes called refers to the process where steel is immersed into molten zinc. This is where a series of zinc-iron alloy forms a series layers via a metallurgical reaction between the iron and zinc, providing a robust coating which is an integral part of the steel.

Galvanised steel is among the most corrosion resistant due to its sacrificial protection and self-repairing properties. According to the Galvanizers Association they say “Hot dip galvanising offers coverage both externally and internally within hollow sections, it self-repairs when damaged, sacrifices itself to protect the base metal, is environmentally sustainable, has good impact and abrasion-resistance and a maintenance-free life of 50 years or more. Galvanised steel is widely used in applications where corrosion protection is needed and can be identified by the crystallised pattern on the surface (often called a ‘spangle’).” 

2. Aluminium: Is a very stable metal that has very low corrosion rates in neutral environments (such as domestic garden buildings). The good corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys means that they are perfectly suited for outdoor and industrial environments. This resistance is caused because aluminium is a very reactive metal with a high affinity for oxygen, The reactive character of the aluminium with oxygen means an aluminium oxide film forms on the metal surface that gives it a protective character.

The most common type of aluminium alloys used for architectural structures (such as garden buildings) is the 6XXX Aluminium-magnesium-silicon.

The Aluminium Federation in the article UK Aluminium Industry Fact Sheet 2, Aluminium and Corrosion say “The 6XXX series alloys are the most common amongst aluminium alloys and are widely used in transport, engineering and architecture.” They then go on to say “Most aluminium casting alloys are classified as having good corrosion resistance, and if used for purposes involving exposure out-of-doors, they will suffer no appreciable loss of strength as a result of corrosion. Weathering tests lasting more than ten years, carried out by The Association of Light Alloy Refiners, confirm that there is little difference in the resistance to atmospheric attack of the casting alloys…”
