Our Gabriel Ash Review

Worth considering only if you can buy an existing or in-stock unit and you want a genuine heirloom-grade cedar glasshouse with RHS pedigree, and the price is not the deciding factor. Everyone else should skip it, both on cost and because the brand has stopped producing new greenhouses; if you do buy, insist on written confirmation that your specific order and warranty will be fulfilled before paying.

Strengths & Considerations

Strengths

  • +The only timber greenhouse manufacturer endorsed by the RHS, a relationship held for over a decade
  • +Built from certified western red cedar (PEFC sourced), which is naturally rot and insect resistant and ages well
  • +Toughened safety glass plus aluminium base plinth, ridge and automatic roof vent as standard on all structures
  • +Handcrafted in the UK with a strong reputation for finish, longevity and a 12-year warranty on the greenhouses
  • +Timeless, high-status design that many owners keep for decades rather than replace

Watch Out For

  • The brand is closing as of April 2026, so no new models are being made or sold; only existing orders, warranties and spare parts are being honoured going forward
  • Very expensive relative to kit greenhouses, with entry prices several times higher than a comparable polycarbonate kit
  • Cedar needs periodic re-oiling and upkeep, and glass glazing is heavier and more work to install and maintain than polycarbonate

Before You Buy: Confirm These

These are Gabriel Ash's own documented terms and open questions, not our own test results. Confirm the specifics in writing before you order.

  • ?Glass glasshouses need a proper level, load-bearing base (a concrete or brick footing), so budget for real groundwork before delivery
  • ?Because the brand is winding down, weigh the long-term availability of parts and support even though Juliana has pledged to honour warranties
  • ?This is a UK-market brand with UK-focused delivery, so overseas buyers should confirm shipping and installation separately

Methodology

Brand verdicts are based on buyer fit, build quality, support path, price pressure, and the risks that tend to show up after delivery. A strong reply from a manufacturer can improve factual clarity, but it does not improve placement.

If support coverage, warranty language, or dealer access are thin, we would rather say that plainly than hide it behind marketing copy.
