Halls ICON 8 8x12 Planthouse 3mm Toughened Glass - Green HR01465

Maximise your growing space with the Halls ICON 8 8x12 Planthouse

Designed for gardeners who want generous room to grow and work without compromising comfort, the Halls ICON 8 8x12 Planthouse offers a noticeably more open and usable space than a standard greenhouse. Its wider 8ft footprint and extended 12ft length provide the freedom to grow taller plants, organise staging efficiently, and move around comfortably, all while maintaining balanced proportions that sit naturally within larger gardens.

The planthouse design prioritises headroom and accessibility, creating a calmer internal environment where everyday gardening tasks feel easier and less restrictive. Whether you’re managing climbing vegetables, established plants, or a more ambitious growing setup, this layout supports long-term use without feeling crowded or awkward.

Built for durability, access, and everyday practicality

Constructed with a powder-coated green aluminium frame and glazed with 3mm toughened safety glass, the Halls ICON 8 8x12 Planthouse combines strength, clarity, and reassurance for regular use in UK conditions. The toughened glass delivers excellent light transmission while offering improved resistance and safety compared to standard horticultural glass.

A wide double sliding door positioned on the long side, paired with a low threshold, makes access straightforward when carrying trays, compost, tools, or larger planters. Four roof vents help maintain steady airflow, reducing excess heat during warmer months and supporting healthier growing conditions throughout the season. This is a structure designed not just to house plants, but to support how gardeners actually work.

Frame colour and glazing choice 

The ICON Planthouse range is available in carefully selected frame finishes to suit different garden styles. This model features a powder-coated green frame, offering a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that blends naturally into planting schemes and traditional garden settings while requiring minimal maintenance. A powder-coated black frame is also available, providing a sleek, modern look that complements contemporary gardens and adds a bold, architectural feel while maintaining the same durability and low-maintenance benefits.

Glazing choice plays a key role in performance. This planthouse is supplied with 3 mm toughened safety glass, providing a strong, secure finish with clear visibility and confidence in family gardens or more exposed locations. Long glass panes enhance light levels and create a clean, streamlined appearance, reinforcing the modern feel of the ICON Planthouse design.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a base for my greenhouse?

In most cases, yes, a base is strongly recommended. A purpose-made greenhouse base makes installation far easier, ensures the structure sits level, and provides long-term stability. This helps protect both the frame and the glazing over time.

If your greenhouse is being installed onto an existing solid surface such as a concrete pad, brick base, or wall-mounted foundation, you may not require a separate steel base. However, where no suitable foundation already exists, a proper base is the safest and most straightforward option.

Occasionally, bases may be included as part of a special offer. If that applies, the option can simply be selected at zero cost when ordering.

Do I need professional installation?

All greenhouses are supplied with full instructions and many customers do successfully install them themselves. However, installation does require time, careful preparation, and suitable weather conditions. Many customers choose professional installation for added convenience and peace of mind. If you do opt for installation for your Icon 6 greenhouse, it is essential that the area is fully prepared ahead of time. This means the ground must be level, clear of debris, and easily accessible for the installation team.
