Description
Vitavia Cassandra Greenhouse
The Vitavia Cassandra is designed for gardeners who want more than just a greenhouse. With its striking full‑height glazing, strong aluminium frame and refined, almost orangery‑style proportions, the Cassandra creates a bright, open and inviting space that’s as enjoyable to spend time in as it is to grow in.
Its generous headroom and wide panes of toughened glass give the interior a calm, airy feel, making it perfect for everything from propagation and potting to relaxing with a cup of tea among your plants. Available in a choice of finishes and sizes, the Cassandra blends contemporary engineering with timeless elegance — a true statement piece for any garden.
Designed to sit on a single skin dwarf wall, the required height is 50cm, the dwarf wall increases the insulation of the greenhouse, and although the wall is not included with the greenhouse frame it enables the customer to choose the material which best suits their taste.
By absorbing heat in the daytime and releasing it at night, the dwarf wall reduces temperature fluctuations. This provides a more even temperature in the greenhouse around the clock, providing gentle growing conditions for crops in the greenhouse.

Installation & Base
Bourne Buildings can offer installation depending on location*
Vitavia greenhouses need to be placed on a flat, level, compact (firm) base, with paving slabs or concrete being the best options.
We recommend that the base should be 3” larger all round, as fixing the greenhouse down involves drilling at an angle from inside to out, so this is needed to anchor the fixings correctly. The base needs to be level (with no drainage slope) with 2 inches above ground level to avoid surface water running underneath.
Vitavia Greenhouses can sit on either a solid paving or concrete base as described above, or on concrete strip footing. Dwarf wall models will require a suitable dwarf wall to be constructed – Exact measurements will be supplied once you have placed an order.
If using the Vitavia metal base option it is also possible to install some of the Vitavia greenhouses directly onto flat, level & compact ground, and anchoring the corners in with concrete to give additional support.
Dwarf Wall – Dwarf Wall plans will be provided after an order is placed.
Clearance – We recommend at least 18” clearance all round for installation, airflow, and future maintenance. Please speak with a staff member if you have less clearance.
*Only available when there is a suitable paving slab or concrete base.
