About Our Greenhouse Range
A greenhouse is one of the smartest investments an Australian gardener can make. Whether you're extending your growing season through winter, protecting seedlings from harsh summer heat, or growing vegetables and herbs that simply won't survive outdoors, a quality greenhouse gives you complete control over your growing environment - whatever the season.
At Garden Yard, we stock a carefully chosen range of greenhouses suited to Australian conditions — from compact mini polycarbonate greenhouses perfect for suburban backyards and balconies, to spacious walk-in tunnel greenhouses for the serious home grower. Every greenhouse in our range is built with UV-stabilised panels or covers, weather-resistant frames, and adequate ventilation to handle everything from a sweltering NSW summer to a frosty southern winter.
Australia's harsh, dry summers and unpredictable weather patterns make year-round outdoor gardening difficult, which is exactly why a greenhouse is such a practical solution for Australian growers. Inside a greenhouse, you control the temperature, humidity, and light — giving your plants the best possible conditions to thrive regardless of what's happening
outside.
Whether you're a weekend gardener starting your first veggie patch or a dedicated grower looking to maximise year-round yield, Garden Yard has a greenhouse to suit your space and budget. Shop our full range and enjoy fast delivery Australia-wide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of greenhouse is best for an Australian
backyard? It depends on your space and goals. Walk-in greenhouses offer room to move, add shelving, and grow a wider range of crops, while portable greenhouses provide plant protection without a permanent structure — a great option for smaller gardens or renters. Polycarbonate greenhouses with aluminium frames are the most popular choice for Australian conditions as they're durable, UV-resistant, and provide good insulation without the fragility of glass.
Can I use a greenhouse year-round in Australia?
Absolutely — and that's one of the biggest advantages of owning one. A greenhouse lets you grow herbs, vegetables, and seedlings in any season, giving you climate control and protection from the elements regardless of what's happening outside. In summer, proper ventilation keeps temperatures manageable. In winter, the enclosed environment retains enough warmth for most edible crops
How do I stop my greenhouse from getting too hot in
summer? Many greenhouse owners use shading systems, auto vent openers, and louvre windows to shade their greenhouse and manage heat during the warmer months. Roll-up doors, roof vents, and shade cloth are all effective tools forkeeping temperatures comfortable through an Australian summer.
Do I need council approval to put up a greenhouse in my
backyard? In most cases, a standard residential greenhouse does not require council approval, but this varies by state, council, and the size of the structure. As a general rule, smaller, non-permanent structures are exempt, but if you're planning a large or permanent greenhouse, it's worth checking with your local council before purchasing.
What size greenhouse should I buy? Few gardeners regret having more greenhouse space — the advice from experienced growers is to go as large as you can afford and your space allows. For most home gardeners, a greenhouse of at least 2.4m x 1.8m gives enough room for seedlings in spring before switching to summer crops. If budget allows, go bigger — you'll use the space.

Australia? Yes. Garden Yard ships to all states and territories across Australia. Delivery times vary by location - we'll send you tracking details as soon as your order is dispatched.
