Most basic greenhouses are glazed with horticultural glass which can be dangerous if broken. If your greenhouse is to be sited in a public place, or where children or elderly people may be present, we strongly recommend you to choose the toughened safety glass (to BS6206) or polycarbonate safety glazing options available with all manufacturers and models.

SITING YOUR GREENHOUSE

The most important consideration is good light at all times of the year. In general terms, ideally your greenhouse should be aligned with the long sides running East-West. Bear in mind the low winter sun and the possible shadows cast by conifers (Deciduous trees will be leafless at this time) and buildings.
If you are going to heat your greenhouse you need to consider electricity or gas locations. Always seek the advice of qualified tradesmen if you wish to connect these services. With regard to water, many people are happy to use water collected in a water butt from the roof but dry summers will mean carrying water unless you have a hose located nearby. For a large selection of watering and irrigation accessories go to our Greenhouse Fittings and Parts Department

SIZING YOUR GREENHOUSE

Gardeners and growers alike find that once they have enjoyed the fruits of their labour, they want to expand and experiment and soon find they outgrow their greenhouse. We would recommend some future proofing by purchasing the biggest greenhouse you can afford and site to avoid this potential restriction. Extensions are available for some models, contact our Technical Department if you need any guidance.

Any contract of sale between this company and a customer will be subject to these conditions and the placing of an order with this company shall be deemed to be an acceptance by the customer of these conditions. Any terms or conditions appearing in any document issued by the customer shall have no effect. No variation of any of these conditions shall be binding on this company unless expressly accepted by this company in writing.

PRICE. Prices to be charged will be those ruling at the date of the despatch of the material, unless otherwise stated. Prices given in any quotation are those ruling at the date of the quotation and are given for guidance only. All prices are subject to alteration without notice.

DELIVERY The rate or time of delivery in relation to any consignment or series of consignments is estimated as accurately as possible. This company will do its best to meet the requirements of the customer as to time of delivery as specified in the customer's enquiry but no guarantee or warranty as to time of delivery or rate of deliveries is given or implied.

DELIVERIES TO SITES Where customers request deliveries to sites on or by a specific date, this company will do its best to meet such requirements but the company cannot give any guarantee nor can any claims be accepted on account of late deliveries. This is because our transport service, although normally reliable, is subject to various contingencies beyond our control, including road and weather conditions, breakdowns, accidents, delay in unloading at customer's premises, etc. Furthermore, we are sometimes in the hands of outside transport contractors over whom we do not have direct control. Customers are strongly advised, therefore, not to send labour to sites without first ensuring that the goods have been delivered to the desired location.

DAMAGE OR LOSS IN TRANSIT This company will not accept responsibility for material damage or lost in transit, unless this company is notified of the complaint in writing, within three days of the receipt, by the customer of the consignment in respect of which damage or shortage is alleged and an adequate opportunity is given for inspection of the material. In the case of non-delivery of a complete consignment notification must be made in writing within 21 days of the date shown on the advise or delivery note. In any event the liability of this company in respect of material damage or loss in transit , shall be limited to the cost of replacement of the loss or damaged material and in the case of damaged goods shall be the subject to such goods being returned to this company at the risk and expense of the customer.

DEFECTIVE MATERIAL (a) This company shall not be liable to the customer for any consequential or special loss or damage or any loss of profit suffered by the customer by reason of any defect or errors in quality or measurement of goods supplied. (b) Any goods returned to this company by the customer at its own expense within seven days of the receipt, thereof by the customer, and which are found on examination by this company to be defective in quality or measurements will be replaced by this company free of charge but that will be the limit of this company's liability.

CUSTOMERS MATERIAL If this company agrees to carry out work on customer's own material, or to store customers goods after an invoice has been presented for the goods. Such material or goods will be held at the customer's risk and this company will not be responsible for the damage by accident, fire, flood, deterioration or any other cause.

GUARANTEES AND WARRANTIES Any condition warranty guarantee or statement as to the quality of any material or its fitness for any purpose whether express or implied by statute by the common law or by any custom of trade or otherwise is hereby excluded unless given expressly in writing by this company.

CANCELLATION Under no circumstances may an order be cancelled except on terms to be agreed in writing with this company.

FORCE MAJEURE If the manufacture or delivery of any material ordered by the customer, shall be prevented or delayed, directly or indirectly by fire, weather conditions, war (whether formerly declared or not) civil disturbance, strikes, industrial dispute or shortage of materials, or by any other cause outside the complete control of this company. This company shall be entitled to extend the period for the delivery of the materials for such reasonable period as may in the opinion of the company be sufficient to enable the delivery to be made. If this company does so elect, the buyer shall not be entitled to cancel the contract nor to receive any compensation of the resultant delay.

DELIVERY BY INSTALMENTS Where under the terms of any contract delivery of material to a customer is made by instalments whether in accordance with a pre-arranged programme or not the following provisions shall apply.

(b) No default by this company in respect of any instalment shall entitle the customer to determine the contract or to treat it as having been repudiated in regard to any instalments remaining to be delivered under the terms of this contract.

PROPERTY TRANSFER Property in these goods shall only pass to the customer from the date of payment in full, of all sums payable to the company in respect thereof.
