Strong
Metal Connectors
Designed to be used in the outdoors, our metal connectors are
coated with zinc to give years of life. They join the frame
and polycarbonate to make your greenhouse as strong as it is
beautiful.
Twin Wall Polycarbonate
Impact resistant, energy saving, twin-wall polycarbonate glazing
sheets are mate from a thermoplastic resin. It features a proprietary
surface treatment, which provides resistance against degradation
caused by UV radiation. In addition it also features a specially
developed coating on the inner surface, which reduces the
formation
of condensation droplets.
Virtually
unbreakable polycarbonate is the same high-tech plastic used
in aircraft windshields and helmets. Temperature extremes don't
affect its impact resistance. Hail and baseballs bounce off.
Its impact strength is 30 times greater than acrylic and 200
times greater than glass. After glass, polycarbonate is the
most flame resistant glazing
Double-wall panels retain heat to help plants stay 10-20 deg.F
warmer in winter. If you use a heater, you'll save 40% of the
cost of heating a single-pane glass greenhouse.
Design maximizes the quality of light for full, straight and
even plant growth. Sunlight is scattered by the ribs between
panel walls to surround plants without shadowing or burning
them.
UV-resistant additive in panels blocks 98% of the harmful UV
rays while transmitting 83% of the visible rays that plants
need for maximum growth. Plants are more productive. Glazing
carries a 10 year limited warranty against hazing and discoloration.
Panels won't crack or shatter. They may be cut with a fine
toothed saw, allowing easy installation of plumbing or heating
equipment.
Natural
Redwood
Beautiful to look at, our redwood is resistant to insects and
decay and harvested from second growth trees on non public lands.
You can leave redwood untreated and it will become naturally
gray or apply your choice of paint or stain.
Automatic Ventilation Simplifies Climate Control
Automatic vent operators on the roof and base vents require
no electricity or batteries. The vent operator contains a paraffin
(wax) that expands when the temperature reaches about 65 deg.F.
As it cools and the paraffin contracts, the operator's springs
draw each vent closed. It is adjustable within approximately
5 deg.F and easily detachable for manual operation.
Thorough Air Circulation
The
roof vent allows air to escape at the hottest point, the roof
ridge. Cooler air enters the base vent, creating a chimney effect
and circulating cool fresh air throughout the GardenHouse. The
convenient Dutch door provides additional ventilation control
and easy access.
No Foundation Required
Exceptionally rigid and lightweight, only the corners of a
GardenHouse need to be anchored to the ground.
Assembles Quickly and Easily
Major components are panelized for an easy, sure fit. Panelized
sections are joined by screws. A power screwdriver, a 6' stepladder
and a tape measure are all that's needed for easy assembly.
The 6' x 8' model takes about 3-4 hours to assemble. Even the
8' x 12' model takes less than a day for a "non-builder"
to complete.
Efficient Roof System
The optimum 45 degree roof slope transmits low angle sun in
the winter and reflects high angle sun in the summer. This increases
heat in the winter and reduces it in the summer. It also leaves
lots of headroom and plant hanging space. The steep roof slope
sheds snow in the winter and can withstand a snow load of 18
lb. per square foot.
Panelized
and Labeled
To make assembly easy, the framing and polycarbonate are put
together at the factory. Every panel is labeled to make assembly
quick and simple. Our instructions are easy to follow.
