Description
Robinsons Rookley Victorian Greenhouse – 14’8″ Wide
The Robinsons Rookley is a beautifully proportioned T-shaped Victorian‑style greenhouse that blends heritage charm with the engineering strength Robinsons is known for. Its traditional 45° roof pitch creates generous headroom and excellent light transmission, giving plants the bright, airy environment they need to thrive. Cast‑aluminium Victorian spandrels at the eaves and ridge reinforce the structure while adding unmistakable period character.
Built around Robinsons’ extra‑strong box‑section aluminium frame and 4mm toughened safety glass, the Rookley offers exceptional rigidity and long‑term durability, even in exposed gardens. Practical growing features come as standard, including automatic roof vents, louvre side vents, extra‑wide Victorian‑style guttering, and a wide, low‑threshold hinged door for easy access. The model is available in a choice of colours and in both glass‑to‑ground and dwarf‑wall formats, allowing it to complement a wide range of garden styles.
Compact enough for smaller plots yet refined enough to serve as a focal point, the Rookley delivers a professional‑grade growing environment wrapped in timeless Victorian design. It’s a greenhouse built to elevate everyday gardening and to stand proudly in the landscape for decades.

Installation & Base
Installation services are available via Bourne Buildings in some locations
Robinsons greenhouses need to be placed on a flat, level, compact (firm) base, with paving slabs or concrete being the best options. The base should be the same size as the building itself*, level (with no drainage slope) with 2 inches above ground level to avoid surface water running underneath.
Robinsons 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.
Clearance – We recommend at least 18” clearance all round for installation, airflow, and future maintenance. Victorian models: Please allow 24” clearance all round. Please speak with a staff member if you have less clearance.
*Bases can be larger than the building if required by the customer but must not be any smaller.
