    Ok if you live in low wind areas

    I bought a 32 foot one. We assembled it, and put it on a 6x6 wood base. The snow shedding design was fine, but the doors, windows and roof air vents were made with cheap hinges, door locks and of poor quality. When it was windy we had to tie the door shut, the windows and the roof vents down. They bent with the force of the wind, and the automatic openers busted. That was my biggest complaint. Maybe in a low wind area they would be fine, but if you get wind, do not buy this greenhouse as you will be sorry.

    A soothing place to relax

    What a beautiful and solid greenhouse. A real gem. Love spending time in it. Looking forward to growing some flowers and veggies too, but for now just enjoying being in it. The heat in the morning is so soothing I feel it in my bones. Definitely will have to leave some space for a small table and chair.

    Overall a great experience, The videos and the booklet helped a lot, along with the phone calls to Planta.

    Customer service is off the charts. Excellent!! Murad was the main person I emailed . Whether by phone or email service was consistently prompt, helpful and informative.

    When the boxes of my Sungrow Urban first arrived I felt a little overwhelmed looking at all those pieces, nuts and bolts. However once we got get started, it was not as hard as it seemed. I now look at my greenhouse and feel so proud. Thank you Planta for a great and sturdy greenhouse and a memorable experience.

    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.

    The Best Value

    After researching compact greenhouses I went with Planta even though it was not the least expensive. Cost is important to me, but so is quality and durability. In the end, I could not be happier with my purchase. The design, the materials and the instructions, both written and video, are excellent. I have had a lot of experience over the years assembling things like furniture, tools and grills, and I was impressed by how accurately the parts of the greenhouse went together. All the screw holes were in the exact right position and lined up perfectly. A couple of times it seemed like maybe I would need to enlarge a hole, but in each case it was because I had overlayed two parts in the wrong order. After reviewing the instructions I switched the parts around, and the holes lined up.

    I did this pretty much as a one man job. A neighbor helped me while I stood the arches up and connected them. He also helped me lift the entire structure into the footer holes that I had dug. Other than that, I did the whole thing by myself. This included installing the plastic panels, although a helper would have been nice for that step. I had to use some ingenuity such as using a piece of tape to hold a wrench onto a nut while I tightened from the outside. Clamps were used to keep panels from slipping while I was getting them lined up.

    The finished project is beautiful and extremely sturdy. I am still in the process of landscaping around it and building shelves inside. Really…

FAQs

Residential Greenhouses

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.

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.

What is the width of the door opening?

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

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.

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)

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 is the frame made of?

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

Roof Ventilation Windows

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.

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.

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).

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.

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 wind resistance on the Sungrow models?

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