Collection: 8ft Wide Polycarbonate Greenhouses
The 8ft wide model comes with a single sliding door, and is 2596mm wide. It is a great starter size greenhouse and it can be up to 24ft long, or 7680mm. The polycarbonate has better thermal properties than the glass, however does not last forever like the glass. The polycarbonate is UV-coated on both sides and has a 10-yr warranty.
3-tier shelving down one or both sides of the greenhouse is a popular configuration for this size. That way you can start your seedlings on the shelves then have the middle and back wall open for growing from the ground up in pots or beds.
If you are growing in the hottest months inside the greenhouse, we recommend getting a shade cover and side wall louvres. 1 side wall louvre per 2 roof vents is our recommended configuration.
- 2x smooth sliding polycarbonate doors on roller castors with stainless steel bearings. Optional screen doors available for extra ventilation
- Manual opening, lockable roof vents. Auto vent openers and louvre vent kits are also available as an add-on.
- Standard corner stakes included on smaller models. For these, optional foundation mounting kits are sold separately. Our 8x6ft to 8x12ft glasshouses are supplied with standard corner stakes. Our larger glasshouses (8x16ft and up) come with the additional foundation mounting kits. If you are getting a smaller greenhouse but still wish to mount it to concrete or timber, you can purchase a foundation mounting kit.
- All greenhouses come with gutters for rain catchment, with 2 elbows on one side that can be connected to a water tank. They fit a standard 19mm irrigation pipe.
