Technical Specifications

Structure

  • Roof Design: Peaked roof with an 8 ft ridge height, for full standing headroom and fast rain and snow runoff.
  • Foundation: 3.9-inch-high metal base designed to provide optimal stability and prevent the polycarbonate panels from coming into contact with the ground.
  • Frame Profiles: Reinforced Omega profiles measuring 3.1 inches wide and 0.04 inches thick for enhanced structural strength.
  • Reinforced Trusses: Every other roof truss is reinforced for increased resistance throughout the year, including during winter, with no seasonal disassembly required.
  • Ground Anchoring: Each frame section is anchored approximately 13.8 inches into the ground for maximum stability.
  • Fasteners: The frame is assembled using M5 bolts to keep all components securely in place.
  • Sealing: Rubber seals protect the polycarbonate channels from dust, dirt, and debris.
  • Expandable Design: The greenhouse can be extended in 6.6 ft sections using the 6.6 ft Greenhouse Extension. Multiple extensions can be combined to suit your growing needs.

Polycarbonate Panels

  • Thickness: Choose between 4 mm (5/32 in.) twin-wall polycarbonate, ideal for mild and moderate climates, or 6 mm (1/4 in.) twin-wall polycarbonate, recommended for colder regions.
  • Panel Reinforcement: The panels are securely held in place with M5 bolts and 1.6-inch-diameter plastic washers.
  • Weather Resistance: Rated for 65 mph winds and 32 PSF of snow load (about 3 ft of snow). The panels are impact- and hail-resistant while providing effective thermal insulation.
  • Light Transmission: Translucent twin-wall polycarbonate provides approximately 85% light transmission. The panels are treated to resist yellowing and maintain lasting brightness and clarity.
  • UV Protection: Built-in UV stabilizers help protect your plants from direct exposure to harmful sunlight.

Base & Installation

  • Foundation: A 3.9-inch-high steel base is included.
  • Installation: Set up by two people in 2 to 3 days, with a detailed instruction manual included.
  • Doors & Windows: One front door and two manually operated windows - one at the front and one at the rear - provide optimal ventilation. Additional windows may be installed as needed.

Plenty of headroom and incredible light diffusion. I can walk straight up without ducking, and moving a garden cart inside is effortless. Setting up the interior floor took an afternoon, but the structural quality is top tier.

Finished putting it together in a weekend! Clear instructions, all the hardware lined up, and the metal frame feels super solid. Can’t wait to get planting.

B Brandon H.

The yield in this thing is unbelievable. Hooked up a simple drip line and my peppers and tomatoes exploded this season. Having total climate control makes a world of difference.

J Josh B.

My tomato plants grew like crazy this year. Setup took a weekend, but harvesting a full crate every week made it totally worth it. Best addition to my backyard hands down.

Jennifer S.
J Jennifer S.

My neighbors can't believe how lush my plants are this early. Assembly was straightforward, and the structure has already held up to some strong spring storms. The inside environment is just perfect.

From my garden to my plate! Best homegrown Caprese salad ever! You can’t buy tomatoes with this kind of flavor in stores. Super sturdy greenhouse too.

Chris M.
C Chris M.

Plenty of room for raised beds on both sides and in the middle. The greenhouse kept everything warm through our early spring Ohio frosts, so my crops popped up way faster than expected. Solid build and super functional.

Grow through the winterCold climate

Grow through the winter

The double-wall panels trap a layer of air between them, like an insulated mug for your plants. That holds heat in and can cut heating costs by up to 40%, so you can keep greens going well past the first frost and through the coldest months.

Works in the South, tooHot climate

Works in the South, too

Our polycarbonate panels block 99% of UV and diffuse harsh light, so plants get even, gentle sun instead of scorching. The panels stay clear and intact for years, with no fading or brittleness. Two manual windows and an optional auto vent keep temperatures stable when it's 115F outside.

Grow your own food — No pesticides, no grocery runs — just fresh produce, year-round.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before ordering

Answers to the most common questions before you buy.

No concrete slab required. The frame anchors directly into the ground and the metal base plate ensures stability. A concrete slab or footings remain an option if you prefer, especially in very windy areas.

Not at all. The greenhouse is designed to be set up by two people in 2 to 3 days, using common tools and illustrated step-by-step instructions. Professional installation is also available if preferred.

Yes. The reinforced steel structure and twin-wall polycarbonate panels are built for tough conditions, rated for 65 mph winds and 32 PSF of snow load (about 3 ft of snow). The peaked roof naturally sheds snow and deflects wind.

Yes. Twin-wall polycarbonate is highly impact-resistant, far more durable than single plastic sheeting. It will not crack, and is UV-coated and anti-yellowing to stay clear and strong for years.

Maintenance is minimal. The galvanized steel frame wipes clean with soapy water, and the polycarbonate panels rinse off easily. Rubber seals protect the panel channels from dust buildup.

Your greenhouse ships free and fully insured, with an estimated delivery window of 4 to 6 weeks from your order. Tracking is included and our team is available for any questions about your delivery.

Yes. The greenhouse is modular and can be extended in 6.6 ft sections, up to about 98 ft of total length. Grow your growing space as your needs evolve.
