Tall wall greenhouse made of glass and wrought iron with retro look

Project Description

This magnificent black tall wall greenhouse made of glass and wrought iron was placed against the brick facade of an outbuilding in the customers’ garden.

The typical feature of such a curved-roof wall greenhouse is that it uses an existing structure that functions as a back wall.

This type of extension greenhouse is the perfect conservatory to build against a facade of your home, a boundary wall or the wall of a garden shed, outbuilding or garage.

Tall wall greenhouse made of glass and wrought iron offers several advantages

Multifunctional use

An attached greenhouse like this arch model is multifunctional.

For example, this wall greenhouse can be used to grow vegetables and fruit or it can serve as a stylish rustic veranda.

For example, take a look at the following classic veranda (which functions as a solarium) to get an idea of what is possible in terms of furnishing, cosiness and interior design.

Suitable for limited spaces

Available as a do-it-yourself construction kit, this type of wall greenhouse can also be perfectly integrated on a rather limited surface area.

Consequently, this wall greenhouse model is also popular for urban gardens and courtyards.

Wall greenhouse made of glass and wrought iron plays an important role

The difference with other types of greenhouses (such as a freestanding arched greenhouse) is that this type of wall greenhouse is not a freestanding structure.

The wall against which this wall greenhouse is built offers great thermal advantages and is also cost-effective because no glass or wrought iron is required for this flank.

Wall retains heat

The wall against which the greenhouse is built stores solar heat, which is a very big advantage over a freestanding greenhouse.

If the wall can absorb sunrays throughout the day, it will release stored heat inside the curved glass greenhouse in wrought-iron until long after sunset.

The thermal properties of this type of wall greenhouse are unique and unmatched by freestanding conservatories.

Cheaper than freestanding conservatories

Since the wall functions as the back of the wall greenhouse, less material goes into it in terms of wrought iron and glass.

This means that this type of black lean-to greenhouse costs less than a freestanding model.

So this is a budget-friendly option for families on a certain budget.

Those of us with a smaller budget can still enjoy the benefits of an attached greenhouse.

Optimal space utilisation in minimum area

As you can see from the images of this project, this wall greenhouse also offers advantages in terms of utilising the available space.

Firstly, the interplay between the wall and roof of the conservatory provides opportunities to grow plants and vegetables along the height of the wall.

Shelving further allows you to make the best use of the available height on the wall side.

Undoubtedly, this type of extension greenhouse offers more usable space than a freestanding arched greenhouse.

Secondly, this type of conservatory allows you to work more easily in a more limited area.

A relatively small footprint in a city garden, on a balcony or on a roof terrace is already sufficient to install this type of lean-to conservatory.

Some important tips for interested parties

If you aim for maximum success with gardening under glass, you will need to provide the extension greenhouse with the necessary ventilation, heating and watering.

Interesting to know: With our automatic window openers, you can automate ventilation to a certain extent.

In terms of connecting electricity and water, an extension greenhouse is also usually simpler than a stand-alone greenhouse (which is often at a considerable distance from the house or garden house).

If you feel like rolling up your sleeves, you can install the conservatory yourself.

This is possible thanks to our home-delivered DIY kit including assembly plan and all materials.

Those living in Belgium can also call on our team of professionals to install the conservatory.

If you do not reside in Belgium, you could hire a local contractor to place it for you.

Tall wall greenhouse made of glass and wrought iron: Conclusion

This type of tall wall greenhouse made of glass and wrought iron is the dream greenhouse for anyone who wants to make optimal use of the available space while aiming for the best thermal properties.

Using fine wrought-iron profiles and a curved roof also results in an aesthetically pleasing design.

The days of corny and old-fashioned conservatories are behind us!

Tip: Entrepreneurs operating in the hospitality industry can also contact us for custom-made wrought-iron patio covers made of glass for their hospitality business.
