Keder Greenhouses are designed to provide years of low-maintenance, hassle-free enjoyment. To ensure you get the very best performance from our 2m and 3m wide Gardener Range greenhouses, we recommend the following simple aftercare tips:
1. Cleaning
Wash your greenhouse whenever you notice a buildup of dirt or algae, typically every 18 months.
If your greenhouse is near trees, you may need to clean it more frequently.
Use a weak solution of washing-up liquid: 1 part liquid to 1,000 parts warm water (roughly 1 thimbleful per standard bucket).
Clean with a soft brush to avoid damage to the cladding.
2. Wood Maintenance
Repaint the wood every 5+ years with a water-based, weatherproof wood stain (ensure the stain is compatible with plastic).
In coastal or harsher environments, more frequent repainting may be necessary.
3. Structural Checks
Inspect the wood for signs of wear or breakdown every 5 years.
After any particularly violent storms, check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tightly fastened.
4. Lubrication and Rust Prevention
Apply suitable lubricant to all hinges annually.
For any metal parts showing signs of rust, apply a rust-preventative barrier to slow further corrosion.
5. Vent Maintenance
Annually inspect all vent fixings and self-tapping screws to ensure they are secure.
Check for wax on the floor beneath the vent—this could indicate vent failure and require attention.
We hope your Keder Greenhouse brings you years of enjoyment. With minimal effort, your greenhouse will continue to provide a durable and productive growing environment for many seasons to come!
