What moves the price
- Size of the greenhouse — a larger greenhouse needs a bigger base, more panels and longer to assemble.
- Materials used — the greenhouse frame and glazing are usually charged on top of the labour.
- Any additional features like heating or ventilation systems — heaters, vents, shelving and staging add parts and fitting time.
- Complexity of the structure — a greenhouse attached to the house takes more fitting than a freestanding kit.
- Site conditions — sloping or soft ground needs levelling and a firmer base before the greenhouse goes up.
Domestic services and household services prices in Ireland are up 11% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Domestic services and household services, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical greenhouse installation would have cost about €900 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →
