Shipping a Custom-Built Private Greenhouse from the UK
Shipping a custom-built private greenhouse from the UK requires careful planning and coordination. This guide outlines the key steps for a smooth process. Accurate greenhouse details are crucial for cost estimations and logistical planning.
Assessing Your Greenhouse
Accurate measurements (length, width, height, and weight) are paramount before shipping. Consider any unique features impacting shipping. Detailed specifications enable efficient shipping with Shipping International.
Choosing the Right Shipping Method
Shipping methods vary depending on greenhouse size. Options include Out of Gauge (OOG) containers, Breakbulk shipping (for large or unusually shaped greenhouses), and Full Container Load (FCL) shipping (if the greenhouse fits standard container dimensions). Shipping International offers expertise in various methods.
Selecting a Freight Forwarder
Choosing a reputable freight forwarder experienced in handling Out of Gauge (OOG) and Breakbulk cargo, with a proven track record in shipping agricultural equipment and understanding of international shipping regulations is important. Shipping International provides these services.
Essential Documentation
Necessary documentation includes export licenses, certificates of origin, and other documents specific to your greenhouse's materials and destination country. Requirements vary depending on the destination and materials. Shipping International can advise on necessary documentation.
Insurance and Protection
Comprehensive insurance protects your greenhouse against damage or loss during transit. Shipping International can assist with insurance options.
Packaging, Crating, and Port Selection

Customs Clearance and Transportation
