Where can I buy the Colonial Gable greenhouse?
Right here — World of Greenhouses has sold the Colonial Gable for over 10 years, with free shipping, financing, a prebuilt option and installer coordination. Call or text 732-806-7959.
Colonial Gable or Colonial Garden — which should I choose?
Choose the Colonial Gable for the classic look with a Dutch door and lots of windows. Choose the Colonial Garden if you want to customize — taller walls, wider or extra doors, or sizes up to 12x24.
Is it good for year-round growing?
Yes — the wood walls and polycarbonate roof hold heat better than an all-plastic greenhouse, and many owners add a small heater for winter.
Does it come painted?
The kit ships primed and ready to paint in your colors. Prebuilt greenhouses can be delivered fully built and painted.
What foundation do I need?
A level base such as a gravel pad, pavers, a concrete slab or a wood platform; the optional floor kit gives you a finished wood floor. We'll help you plan it.
Do I need a permit?
Often for a structure this size — requirements vary by town, so check with your local building department before you order.

Shipping and Assembly
For kit assembly, the greenhouse will be delivered in panelized sections, wrapped on a pallet, via freight. The pallet is heavy — we recommend having a friend or two (or equipment like a pallet jack) on hand to help unload it curbside on delivery day.
Foundation materias;
Crushed stone
We recommend using crushed stone approximately 4-5" deep. We also advise that you have 12" of stone around the perimeter of the outbuilding to control weeds and keep moisture away from the building. Before installing the stone, you can either dig out 4" of soil and simply make the stone ground level, or you can make the frame with 4x4s or landscape timbers and then fill flush to the top with stone.
Concrete pad
Another option would be to have a concrete pad installed. If you are going to have a concrete pad installed, remember to keep the pad as close to ground level as possible. We recommend that you make the pad 12" wider on each side of the building. Using crushed stone or a concrete pad will increase the longevity of your building/playhouse. Having the proper site allows needed airflow, which will keep your building/playhouse looking great for years to come!
Shipping times can vary, please reach out for an estimated shipping timeframe.
