    Sturdy and amazing quality

    These are the greenhouses we need in colder Canadian climates. I am in zone 4 and have my Sungrow Compact set up for growing all year long! Had electrical trenched to mine and will have the Phoenix greenhouse heater ready to go for winter. I hired my friend’s son to put the greenhouse together for me- I do think you need to be good at building things to put this together. He put down a concrete foundation and then attached the greenhouse to a pressure treated wood frame. I also had him install one of the automatic roof vents which works amazingly well. Loving it so far.

    Impressed by the quality!

    We just finished assembling the Sungrow Compact yesterday. We're really impressed by the quality of all the components. The online videos were super helpful in the process. It took two of us about 10 hours.

    Lots to like

    We’re retired, we live in Southcentral AK, and the Sungrow Compact was a great choice for us. We drove to Anchorage in a standard pickup to pick it up, and transportation to Homer was relatively easy. The only reason for four stars rather than five is that assembly for us was more time consuming and tedious than we expected, even with all the helpful videos, and there were more than a few undo’s and start overs. That said, now that it’s done, kinks and all, I really do love it.

    love my greenhouse

    Took a while to get it together. Had help with the base. The videos are awesome.

    My husband and I were able to put it together and we are not 'handy' people.

    Took our time. Made sure we put it where we wanted it.

FAQs

Residential Greenhouses

Are there doors on both ends of the greenhouse?

Yes! All of our Sungrow models come with manual doors and a manual window above the door on both ends of the greenhouse.

Do you have lean-to greenhouses?

Unfortunately, we do not have any lean-to greenhouses available at this time.

Do you make custom size greenhouses?

All of our products come pre-packaged by the manufacturer and can only be customized in length (6.5' extension). However, the height of the greenhouse can also be increased if placed on a base (up to 5ft above the ground)

How is the greenhouse anchored to the ground?

Every greenhouse kit comes with optional legs that can be dug directly into the ground. The amount of legs included depends on the greenhouse size.

What is the frame made of?

The greenhouse frame is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel.

What polycarbonate panels are used for residential greenhouses?

We use 6mm heavy-duty, double-walled polycarbonate panels with a UV-protected outside layer for our Residential Greenhouses.

What type of base/foundation is the best for me?

There are several different types of greenhouse bases, information, and pictures posted by our customers on our Customer Stories page and our Planta Facebook page. Additionally, you can learn more about "Types of Greenhouse Bases - With Pros & Cons of Each" on our blog.

Roof Ventilation Windows

Can I add windows for my greenhouse later?

Roof ventilation windows work as an add-on and can be installed only once the greenhouse installation is complete. Windows can be added later as well.

How do the Automatic Ventilation Windows work?

Our Automatic Ventilation Windows do not require any batteries or electricity. A heat-activated mechanism will open/close the window once a certain temperature is reached.

How many roof ventilation windows are recommended for the greenhouse?

It is strongly recommended to go with an even amount of roof ventilation windows. This is so you can place at least one on either side of the greenhouse. The amount of windows required depends on the greenhouse size, the climate you are in, and the types of plants that will be grown inside the greenhouse.

What are the opening and maximum opening temperatures for the Automatic Windows?

The opening temperature is between 17 °C and 25°C (62.6°F to 77°F), while the maximum opening is at 30 °C (86°F).

Sungrow Greenhouses

What is the snow load on the Sungrow models?

The Sungrow models can hold snow load weight of up to 6ft of fresh snow (75 psf or 360 kg / m2) on top of the greenhouse.

What is the width of the door opening?

For our Sungrow models, the door opening width is 800mm or 31.5".

What is the wind resistance on the Sungrow models?

The wind resistance is 100km/h (65 mp/h).

Installation

Is there support after purchase?

Absolutely! Our after-sales customer service team is available to answer any questions and support you on your greenhouse journey. You can fill out our contact form or give us a call at 1 (877) 669-1286.

What type of base/foundation is the best for me?

To better understand the different options available, you can find several different types of greenhouse bases, information, and pictures posted by Planta Greenhouse owners on our Customer Stories page and our Planta Facebook page. Additionally, you can learn more about it on our Greenhouse Bases blog.

Customization Options

Can I add my own vents, fans, heaters, and lights?

Of course! The polycarbonate is very easy to work with, and the galvanized steel frame is strong enough to support any additional accessories.

Can I get a longer greenhouse?

Most of our residential and commercial greenhouses are extendable up to 100ft. Learn more about our extension kits for both the Sungrow and Sigma models.

How can I customize my greenhouse?

The customization possibilities are truly endless with a Planta Greenhouse. To help you get started, take a look through “16 Ways to Supercharge Your Greenhouse” on our blog. 

Is hanging plants, heaters, and hammocks safe from my greenhouse frame? How much weight does it handle without affecting the guarantee?

It is safe to hang plants and accessories on a Sungrow greenhouse since each internal reinforcement arch can withstand up to 100 lbs/45.3 Kg. On the Sigma series, you can pre-drill the holes on the framing and hang small things. We would not suggest hanging anything heavier than 5 – 10 lbs / 2.2 – 4.5 Kg per arch.

May I heat my greenhouse with fire pits or similar?

You can use any heating source inside, like electricity, gas, propane, and even wood. It may be tricky to heat with wood, as you want to ensure that you keep the stove/pit away from the panels to prevent them from melting or burning if they are too close to the fire source. In this case, the customers ideally would want to come up with an exhaust system, making sure it’s not in contact with the panels, for being a flammable material.
