Glazing
Double-Wall Polycarbonate Panels will not crack or shatter, retain heat in the winter, diffuse light for even plant growth, and block 98% of the harmful UV rays. The impact strength of polycarbonate is 30 times greater than acrylic and 200 times greater than glass.
-
Assembly
Assembles Easily and Quickly. The major components of the GardenHouse Kit are panelized for an easy sure fit. And each Kit comes with easy-to-follow instructions and a convenient product assembly video.
-
Hardware
Patented Rigid Tie connectors make the structure rigid and strong.
The GardenHouse was tested by an independent lab and withstood its maximum wind load capacity of 85 mph with no damage.
-
Roof Pitch
The 45-degree roof slope transmits low-angle sun in the winter and reflects high-angle sun in summer. This increases heat in the winter and reduces it in the summer. It also provides ample headroom and plant-hanging space. The steep roof slope sheds snow in the winter and can withstand a snow load of 18 lbs. per square foot.
-
Door
A convenient Dutch Door Entry provides additional ventilation control and access.
-
Base
The frame base of the GardenHouse is a durable plastic with the authentic look, color, and texture of redwood, but with the consistent properties of plastic, making it resistant to insect and moisture damage. A foundation is not required. It is only necessary to prepare a flat surface of gravel, wood, cement, or other material as indicated.
Automatic Vents Simplify 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°F, pushing the vent open to its fully opened position at about 85°F.
As it cools and the paraffin contracts, the operator’s springs draw each vent closed.
It is adjustable within approximately 5°F and easily detachable for manual operation.
