Our verdict on the Polytunnel Greenhouse 2×4.5×2 m, 9 m², Green Green
The Polytunnel Greenhouse 2×4.5×2 m, 9 m², Green Green is treated using a uv protected process [1]. The 3 windows used on this particular 2′ x 4.5′ use a glazing material (Thickness was not specified).
Base material: polyethylene [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 uv protected 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
Amazing, our experts say most of the treatment options used are among the best.
The uv protected treatment process used here is one of the best types of treatment out of 2 [3] types we’ve identified on same-size greenhouses that you’ll see getting used on 4% [4] (34 of 787) of all greenhouses analysed, as well as being used on 32% [5] (25 of 78) of the top 10% of greenhouses. You’ll also find the uv protected treatment showing up on 11% of 2′ x 4.5′ greenhouses (2 in total [6]), and when taking the average Expert Score of those 2′ x 4.5′ greenhouses (80), the Polytunnel Greenhouse 2×4.5×2 m, 9 m², Green Green is the same with an Expert Score of 80.

Cladding
The polyethylene 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 2% (17 of 787) of all greenhouses analysed [8], and sadly not present at all on any of the 78 greenhouses that make up the top 10% of greenhouses [9]. You’ll also find the polyethylene cladding showing up on 32% of 2′ x 4.5′ greenhouses (6 in total) [10], and when taking the average Expert Score of those 2′ x 4.5′ greenhouses (76), the Polytunnel Greenhouse 2×4.5×2 m, 9 m², Green Green is just above the average with an Expert Score of 80.

Doors
The door height is 1,950.00mm (6′) tall which is 3% or 50.00mm (0.2′) taller than the average 2′ x 4.5′.
The door width is 780.00mm (3′) wide which is 18% or 140.00mm (0.5′) narrower than the average 2′ x 4.5′.

The Polytunnel Greenhouse 2×4.5×2 m, 9 m², Green Green has an Expert Score that is 5% higher than average and is £143 more expensive than average. If you are looking for the best value or highest expert scoring greenhouses out of the 7 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 £180 with this Nature Pop up Greenhouse 100 x 100 x 100 cm 6020409 Green. It is priced at £27, this is 679% less than this and has an Expert Score of 75, 5 points less than the Polytunnel Greenhouse 2×4.5×2 m, 9 m², Green Green.
The Polytunnel Greenhouse 2×4.5×2 m, 9 m², Green Green is the best scoring greenhouse available out of all 7 2′ x 4.5′ 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. UV treated: The British Plastics Federation says that the addition of light stabilisers (they are called hindered amine light stabilisers (HALS)) in plastics are used “to inhibit the reactions in plastics which cause undesirable chemical degradation from exposure to UV light.” This chemical degradation from exposure to UV light is often seen as chalking or a white residue that forms as the polymers degrade over time. This degradation can often be avoided by adding HALS that are UV absorbers such as benzotriazoles, benzophenones or organic nickel compounds. By incorporating weathering stabilisers into the plastics used the damaging effects of UV light will be slowed down considerably. ↩
2. Polyethylene: Polyethylene (Low Density) LDPE, LLDPE is not commonly used for the construction of garden buildings or storage units. The most common use for LDPE is in the thin film used to cover poly tunnels.
According to data from the British Plastics Fedaration the physical properties of Polyethylene (Low Density) are that it is not very good when exposed to high heat with a maximum continuous use temperature of 65 °C. This is however offset by the outstanding Notched Impact Strength data that showed ‘no break’. ↩
