Strong and Robust Greenhouse Needed
West Coast of Scotland

July 1, 2020
Background
Garry and Kate Coyle, avid vegetable growers on the West coast of Scotland, faced challenges with the high winds and storms common in their area. Observing their neighbours frequently replacing greenhouses and polytunnels, they opted for a more robust solution: a Keder Greenhouse.
Decision and Purchase
Their decision was based on Garry's meticulous weather data collection using a garden weather station. After seeing a magazine advertisement and conducting thorough internet research, they chose a 3m x 4m Keder Greenhouse, delivered in March 2021. Garry's confidence was bolstered by the greenhouse's use in similarly harsh climates like Shetland and the Falklands.
Installation
The Coyle’s utilised an existing vegetable plot, which was sloping, to install the greenhouse. Garry, an engineer, levelled the ground by concreting in sleepers and securing the greenhouse to them, simplifying the installation process. Keder provided specific fixings and helpful support.
Performance and Durability Nearly a year later, the Keder Greenhouse has withstood its first winter. Garry is impressed with its durability and modular design, which simplifies potential repairs compared to their neighbours’ frequent replacements of entire structures.
Horticultural Benefits
Kate, the primary gardener, has noted significant benefits:
• Expanded variety of produce grown
• Increased yield
• Extended growing season through winter
Last summer, their harvest included sweetcorn, spring onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peas, broad beans, borlotti beans, lettuce, radishes, beetroot, chard, and various herbs. Currently, they are growing celery, herbs, chard, and beetroot, with plans to plant more soon.
Technical Enhancements
Garry is enhancing the greenhouse with an automatic, Wi-Fi-enabled watering system and humidity and daylight monitoring. He plans to log temperature changes inside and outside the greenhouse, as well as wind speeds, providing valuable data for future gardening.
Customer Experience
Garry praises the Keder Greenhouse's design and construction, emphasising the ease of assembly and outstanding customer service, especially from staff members Electra and Marie. Their responsive and informative support, along with efficient order handling and delivery communication, set a high standard for customer service.
Conclusion
The Keder Greenhouse has proven to be a valuable investment for Garry and Kate Coyle, offering durability, improved horticultural outcomes, and enhanced gardening technology. Their positive experience underscores the importance of quality engineering and excellent customer support in greenhouse solutions.
