The Capel
Request A CatalogThe Capel Greenhouse is small, yet perfectly formed. Our most compact Victorian greenhouse, ideal for growers with limited garden space who do not want to compromise their growing experience. The elegant design of the engineered aluminum structure combines a beautiful greenhouse with practicality.
Our Kew Collection Greenhouses have been named from the inspiration that lies within the history of British botanical gardens. The name ’Capel’ comes from Kew’s Exotic Garden founder, Lord Capel.
To maximize your growing space, we have a range of greenhouse accessories. Our high-level shelving is the perfect accessory for our smaller greenhouses – giving you more space for plants requiring direct sunlight. We also recommend our benching, optimized to be waist height to make sowing and planting enjoyable.

Details & Personalization
Once you’ve chosen your greenhouse style and colour you also have the opportunity to embellish your greenhouse further.
- Cresting – This runs along the ridge of the greenhouse, you can opt to remove the traditional cresting for a more contemporary look.
- Finials – These are the decorative points that are traditionally situated at each end of the greenhouse roof and at the front of each lobby. You can choose between ball or spike finials, or no finials at all.
- Spandrel – Our spandrels are decorative as well as structural. These cast iron fittings are available in the Alitex ‘A’ emblem or a rose design.
- Door Furniture – We have three standard door handle choices with the option to upgrade to a further two designs. Your hinge, hook, and plaque will compliment your chosen door handle finish.
Materials
- All our greenhouses are made from aluminium and glass, which is infinitely recyclable. We are often asked why you should choose an aluminium greenhouse. As one of the planet’s most inexhaustible resources, aluminium is a sustainable, lightweight and high-strength material. It is extremely resistant to rust and corrosion, therefore the perfect choice for creating beautiful glasshouses that will stand the test of time.
- Your greenhouse frame will be powder coated, low maintenance and durable, meaning your structure requires very little effort to keep it in such good condition when compared with other materials.
