This kit includes the 8' Conservatory Greenhouse and your choice of accessories. The tie down kit is strongly recommended to secure your greenhouse, as the Conservatory Greenhouse does not require a base or foundation. The following items are also recommended to ensure proper ventilation and can be found in the related items box in the top left column of the website. Place the louvered window that is included with your greenhouse high on the front wall. To circulate the air place a 16" fan at the back center of your greenhouse. Lastly, install six base vents one in each corner and one on each side wall.
Conservatory Greenhouse
The Greenhouse Conservatory is Solexx's most spacious greenhouse. This greenhouse towers at 114" H. It will give life to young seedlings, large plants, and even small trees. A large 60" wide, double tiered bench frame is located in the center for optimum working space. Four hanging rods are available for mounting accessories and hanging plants. You also have the option of using up to four doors. Two 12" H x 24" W Easy-Flow louvered air vents are included with all parts for assembly to get you started with proper ventilation. This greenhouse is lightweight which allows you to place it right over a pre-existing garden. The unit is free standing. You will need no site preparation or special foundation. We do recommend a level ground beneath it.
Also included are double walled Solexx paneling. The corrugated plastic is constructed of high density polyethylene for the strength of corrugated cardboard and durability of plastic. Solexx paneling transmits 70-75% of available light and is treated with UV inhibitors to block out harmful rays. It is flexible and easy to work with. It will also keep your green house warm by effectively trapping heat. All Solexx greenhouses have composite material frames that look like PVC but are as strong as steel. The frames are easy to assemble and come complete with all necessary hardware.
Tie Down Kit
Tie down kits are absolutely necessary to anchor your greenhouse. Tie down kits will keep your greenhouse secure and stable even in the strongest winds. Assembly and disconnection is simple. Each kit includes 4 anchors.
Side Shelf Unit
Shelving is valuable for saving space, draining water,and allowing air to circulate. They are also powder-coated to prevent rust. Attach these shelves to the pre-existing frames in the greenhouse. Choose one or two units to fit the built in frame.
Easy-Flow Louver Solar Opener
Solar powered openers close and open your greenhouse vents automatically in response to temperature changes. The piston is coated with a mineral wax that expands with a temperature increase. As the wax cools the piston lowers and gradually closes your vent. Install this opener to the Easy-Flow louver vent included in this greenhouse.
Closeable Base Vents
Base vents are essential in assuring that there is air continually flowing throughout your greenhouse. It is recommended that a vent is installed in each corner of your greenhouse. This will create cross-ventilation and will assure proper air flow. With this kit you are given the option to purchase two vents at a time. Each base vent is 4" H x 9" W.
Black Shade Cloth
This black shade cloth is crafted from polypropylene which is an extremely durable plastic and very resilient. In addition to blocking out harmful rays, this reusable cloth will also reduce heat.
