GreenSafe UK & Ireland were proud to be appointed as the exclusive distributor. The brand says that the GreenSafe can be set up in only 15 minutes and requires no permanent foundation or planning permission. It provides double-layered wall insulation as well as thick floor insulation, which offers a perfect environment year round for seedlings and
established plants. GreenSafe reports that only the highest grade plastic has been used. When not in use the GreenSafe can either be moved to a more convenient area of the garden or simply deflated and stored away. It can also be used as a cold frame (without the base), a storage area or as UV protection for a children’s paddling pool or sandpit. It is offered in medium, large and extra large. An electric pump is provided with every product as well as set-up instructions and the reassurance of a two-year manufacturer’s warranty. For more information call 0113 8153141, email
