Halls ICON 8 8x12 Gardenhouse 3mm toughened glass - Black HR01434

Discover an expansive, highly versatile growing space with the Halls ICON 8 8x12 Gardenhouse

Designed for gardeners who want flexibility and comfort, the Halls ICON 8 8x12 Gardenhouse offers a generously sized footprint that enhances both growing and working space. The 8x12 layout provides excellent width and depth, making it easy to organise staging, taller crops, potting areas, and clear walkways without feeling restricted. This extra space supports more ambitious planting while making everyday gardening tasks easier and more enjoyable throughout the year. The added width improves accessibility and organisation, while the extended length allows for effective crop separation and rotation. Combined with the increased internal height of the ICON range, the gardenhouse benefits from improved airflow, better light distribution, and a more comfortable working environment , ideal for productive gardeners who want room to grow.

This size is well suited to gardeners seeking a long-term, high-capacity greenhouse for seed raising, vegetable growing, or mixed planting. Whether used intensively or as a spacious year-round growing space, the 8x12 format delivers freedom and usability that smaller greenhouses can’t offer.

Supplied with 3mm toughened safety glass, this gardenhouse provides a strong, secure finish with excellent clarity and reassurance. The long glass panes maximise light transmission while reinforcing the clean, modern appearance of the Halls ICON Gardenhouse design. 

 

 

Strong construction with practical features for everyday gardening

The Halls ICON 8 8x12 Gardenhouse is built around a durable aluminium frame, powder-coated for long-term protection and minimal maintenance. Paired with 3mm toughened safety glass, it offers excellent light transmission alongside increased strength and reliability, making it a dependable choice for family gardens and more exposed locations.

A wide sliding door with a low threshold ensures smooth access for compost bags, pots, and tools, allowing you to fully utilise the generous internal space without obstruction. Roof vents promote effective airflow, helping regulate temperature and humidity during warmer months and supporting healthier plant growth. Every aspect of the design focuses on comfort, practicality, and dependable performance in UK conditions.

 

Frame colour options and toughened glass glazing

The Halls ICON 8 8x12 Gardenhouse is available in powder-coated black and powder-coated green, allowing you to choose a finish that best complements your garden style.

The green frame blends naturally into traditional gardens, borders, and planting schemes. Its softer appearance helps the greenhouse sit comfortably within the landscape, making it an excellent choice for gardeners who prefer a classic, understated look that harmonises with surrounding foliage.

The black frame offers a bold, contemporary alternative. Its crisp lines and strong contrast work particularly well in modern gardens, patios, and structured outdoor spaces, giving the greenhouse a striking architectural presence while retaining all the same low-maintenance benefits.

Both frame options are paired exclusively with 3mm toughened glass, chosen for its strength, clarity, and everyday reliability. Toughened glass is significantly stronger than standard horticultural glazing and, if broken, shatters into small, blunt fragments for added safety. It provides excellent light transmission to support healthy plant growth while offering reassurance in busy gardens or year-round use.

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.
