Question 9

Which greenhouse should I choose?

Accepted Answer

As you can imagine, this is a common question, and the answer varies based on what greenhouse elements are most important to you.Our Mythos-Hybrid-Harmony Comparison Page, Palram-Canopia and Rion Model Comparison Table, breaks down the differences between models.The key differences between models are the frame, panels, colours, sizes, and accessories.Frame - The different frame structures result in different snow loads and wind loads. These needs will vary depending on your location and weather patterns in your area. As well, different frames have different roof heights, eaves heights, and door sizes.Panels - The polycarbonate panels come in different thicknesses and opacity. This impacts the light transmission into the greenhouse, and the insulation. Thicker panels offer more insulation and less light transmission, while thinner panels offer less insulation and more light transmission. This also impacts the appearance, as some people prefer clear panels and some prefer translucent.Colour - The different models come in different colours (i.e. grey, silver, and green). Deciding on colour is based on preference. While the process to coat the greenhouse varies, it does not change the structure or function of the greenhouses.Size - We have a wide range of greenhouse sizes to suit most spaces. To decide on size, determine the area where you would like to place your greenhouse, and what you plan to grow inside.Accessories - Different models include different accessories and are specified on the product pages. Accessories can also be added from the accessories pages. Be sure to select Palram-Canopia Accessories for Palram-Canopia Greenhouses, and Rion Accessories for Rion Greenhouses.Based on all of the factors mentioned, the price will vary.We hope this helps you in choosing your perfect greenhouse!

Question 10

Which greenhouse retains the most heat?

Accepted Answer

The thickness of panels range from 0.7mm to 10mm, with the 10mm panels offering the most insulation. Take a look at the Side Panels and Roof Panels section of our Palram-Canopia and Rion Model Comparison Table to see the differences. When do I install my greenhouse accessories?Compatible greenhouse accessories can be installed at any time in the assembly process. You can also add on accessories once the greenhouse is fully built.

Question 11

Are Palram greenhouses all-weather, including the winter?

Accepted Answer

Palram-Canopia Greenhouses can be used year-round, however there are several factors to consider. The two main factors are weather and plants. What are the plants you want to grow and how much heat or cold can they handle? No matter where you live, greenhouses can be 20-40 degrees hotter inside during the day, and at night they will be the same temperature as the outdoors. This is without any supplemental heating or cooling. Depending on where you live, heating and / or cooling your greenhouse can make the difference, and there will be a cost associated with regulating the temperature. If you need to heat or cool your greenhouse in extreme weather conditions, you may want to consider a twin-wall greenhouse such as the Palram-Canopia Glory Greenhouse which has a 10mm polycarbonate covering.

Question 12

How easy it is to assemble Palram-Canopia kits?

Accepted Answer

Palram-Canopia kits are specifically designed for DIY assembly. Large products can usually be assembled by two handy people. Follow the assembly instructions carefully. Work gloves are strongly recommended when sliding panels. Always wear shoes and safety goggles when working with extruded aluminum.

Question 13

What does Modular System mean?

Accepted Answer

If you see the   symbol on a product page, that indicates the greenhouse is a Modular System.This means the greenhouse will arrive in several modules/units, and is assembled into one unit.Click here to see our Modular System page for more information.

Question 14

Where should I build my greenhouse?

Accepted Answer

The location of your greenhouse is very important as it will dictate how much light it gets. The ideal location for your greenhouse is all based on how you plan to use it. Our Gardening Information page discusses this in more detail (click here). If you intend to grow plants to maturity, or grow in fall and winter, maximizing sunlight is vital. The first choice of location would be south or southeast of your home or other structures that may obstruct light. A southern location will provide the most amount of light,but may require shading in the summer. The next best choice would be east of your home or structures, as it will capture more November to February sunlight than other positions. The least desirable position would be the north side of your home or structures, as it will provide the least amount of sunlight. A greenhouse location that provides full sun exposure in the summer, may be covered by shade in the winter.

Question 20

Is it necessary to prepare a level foundation for a greenhouse?

Accepted Answer

The stability and long-term usability of a greenhouse relies heavily on the preparation of a firm foundation for placement and fixing. Foundation must be level and sized to match the product’s dimensions with room to spare for access and ventilation. The lack of a firm foundation may result in product warping, window or door not closing properly, damaged frame and failing of the product in high winds and extreme weather conditions. The foundation must also be able to drain out the water to prevent stagnation and promotion of algae, insects etc. The surface must be solid, such as concrete ground/slabs or asphalt. The screws and anchors must be compatible with surface type. A ground cover is highly recommended before installing any kind of foundation. If your site has high moisture content you will need to install a vapor barrier, a 6 mm black plastic.If you install a greenhouse on a ground with low moisture content, it is highly recommended to use a ground cover or weed barrier, which will allow water to drain through the fabric while keeping weeds from growing.

Question 21

Do your greenhouses come with a floor/base?

Accepted Answer

Most of the greenhouses do not come with a floor/base. Several of our models do come with a base, and it will be specified on the product page that it is included.

Question 22

Where can I find snow and wind resistance information?

Accepted Answer

We include snow load and wind resistance in the Specifications section on our product pages. Palram-Canopia may change this information without notice, and therefore the most up to date specifications can be found on the assembly instruction cover page of every relevant product. Assembly instructions are supplied with each product and are also available for download from the respective product page.

Question 23

How can accessories contribute to greenhouse gardening?

Accepted Answer

Clear floor room by using shelves, use additional vents and louvres with manual or automatic openers to stabilize heat and humidity levels. For complete accessories listing please visit our Accessories page.

Question 24

How do I clean my Greenhouse?

Accepted Answer

1. Use Gentle Cleaning Agents:Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dishwashing detergent.Avoid harsh chemicals like acetone, abrasive cleaners, or high-alkaline products, as they can damage the polycarbonate panels.2. Employ Soft Cleaning Tools:Use a soft sponge or cloth made from 100% cotton.Microfiber cloths are excellent for trapping dirt without scratching the surface. ​3. Rinse Thoroughly:After cleaning, rinse the panels with cold, clean water to remove any detergent residue.Dry with a soft cotton cloth to prevent water spots.4. Avoid Certain Cleaning Methods:Do not use pressure washers, as the high pressure can damage the panels.Avoid using scouring pads or sharp objects, which can scratch the polycarbonate. ​5. Regular Maintenance:Clean your greenhouse panels at least once or twice a year, or more frequently if you notice buildup of dirt, algae, or mold.Regular cleaning helps maintain light transmission and the overall appearance of your greenhouse.

Question 34

It's too hot in my greenhouse. What do you recommend I do?

Accepted Answer

To keep your greenhouse cooler, you can consider the following options:Ventilation:Open vents at the top and sides to allow hot air to escape and cooler air to flow in.Use automatic vent openers if you don't want to open and close them manually.Shading:Install shading cloth or mesh on the roof and sides to block direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day.You can also use reflective materials on the exterior to reduce heat buildup.Misting or Spraying:Set up a misting system or periodically spray the plants with water to cool down the temperature inside the greenhouse.Insulation:If you have a structure that traps heat too easily, consider using insulating materials like bubble wrap or thermal screens during the hotter months.Cool Soil:Adding a layer of mulch to the soil can help keep it cooler and reduce heat radiating into the air.Placement:If possible, move the greenhouse to a location with some natural shade or use tall plants or structures nearby to shield it from the sun.Implementing a combination of these methods can significantly reduce the heat in your greenhouse and create a better environment for your plants.

Question 35

Do I need the Greenhouse Shade Kit for my greenhouse?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

The 4mm twin-wall panels appear translucent and allow approximately 80-82% light transmission. click to viewThe .7mm polycarbonate panels appear transparent/clear. They allow more light through, approximately 90% light transmission, than the 4mm twin-wall panels. click to viewSurprisingly, while the .7mm panels are thinner, they contain more material than the 4mm panels. It takes an additional vacuum form process to create the .7mm panels, which changes the appearance and adds to the strength of the panels.

Question 40

What is the temperature range of the polycarbonate panels?

Accepted Answer

The polycarbonate roof panels can withstand temperatures from −40 °C (−40 °F) to 87.8 °C (190 °F)

Question 41

Does polycarbonate provide or require UV protection?

Accepted Answer

Polycarbonate inherently absorbs up to 100% of harmful UV radiation; it provides complete protection but in order to maintain its properties and integrity for many years it needs to be protected. Palram-Canopia Polycarbonate panels for exterior use have an embedded UV protective layer that must be installed outwards facing the sun. Twin-wall or multi-wall panels have a “This side out” marking; please make sure you install them accordingly and remove the marking after installation.

Question 42

What advantages do polycarbonate greenhouses have over glass greenhouses?

Accepted Answer

Polycarbonate panels withstand extreme weather conditions due to their strength and flexibility. They do not shatter, making them safer than glass, especially around children. The low weight of the panels -- less than 1kg - makes the greenhouse easy to deliver, handle, assemble and also relocate - an assembled 6x8 harmony greenhouse weighs less than 45kg. Polycarbonate shields from the harmful effects of UV radiation and protects everything inside the greenhouse: people, plants, pots, tools etc.
