Little Cottage Co. 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse
Is the Little Cottage Co. 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse the right size for your garden?
The Little Cottage Co. 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse gives home gardeners 96 square feet of growing space in a longer 8-foot-wide layout. It is a good fit for gardeners who prefer the narrower width of the 8x8 but want more room for plant benches, seed trays, and seasonal garden supplies.
This 8x12 panelized greenhouse kit includes LP SmartSide siding and trim, a corrugated polycarbonate roof, tempered-glass windows with screens, transom windows, a Colonial Dutch door, interior wooden shelving on three sides, hanging basket rods, hardware, and an assembly manual. The siding and trim arrive primed and ready to paint, so you can finish the greenhouse to match the rest of your outdoor space.
Why Choose the 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse?
- More space than the 8x8 without extra width: The 8x12 layout gives you 96 square feet of usable greenhouse space while keeping the same 8-foot width, giving you more room for benches, plants, and supplies without needing a wider footprint.
- A practical step up from the 8x8: The layout gives you more working room than the compact 8x8 while staying easier to place along a garden edge, fence line, or tighter backyard layout than the wider 10-foot models.
- Light and airflow from size-specific windows: You get 33 tempered-glass windows with grids and screens, plus 16 tempered-glass transom windows for more window coverage than the smallest size.
- Useful for separate growing zones: The added length helps you separate seed starting, potted plants, tools, and seasonal storage so the greenhouse can support more than one gardening task at a time.
- Panelized design for more manageable assembly: It arrives in large panelized sections with hardware and an instruction manual included, which can make assembly more manageable than cutting and building everything from raw materials.

Optional floor kit: The optional floor kit includes treated 2x4 floor joists spaced 16 in on center, 5/8 in CDX plywood flooring material, and treated 4x4 runners. The floor size should match the 8 ft x 12 ft base size exactly.
If you are not purchasing a floor kit, you can build your own floor or prepare a cement or concrete slab. The slab should be exactly the same size as the greenhouse base. If the slab is larger, the 3 in skirt below the bottom plate may need to be trimmed.
