Sungrow Compact

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

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

All of our products come pre-packaged by the manufacturer and can only be customized in length (2m extension). However, the height of the greenhouse can also be increased if placed on a base (up to 1.5m above 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The opening temperature is between 17 °C and 25°C, while the maximum opening is at 30 °C.

The Sungrow models can support a snow load of up to 183cm of fresh snow (360 kg / m2) on top of the greenhouse.

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

The wind resistance is 100km/h.

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

Most of our residential and commercial greenhouses are extendable up to 30 metres. Learn more about our extension kits for both the Sungrow and Sigma models.

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.

It is safe to hang plants and accessories on a Sungrow greenhouse since each internal reinforcement arch can withstand up to 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 2.2 – 4.5 Kg per arch.

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.
