Value-Engineered Sunshine GardenHouse
Combines Top Quality Components and Functional Design
The Beauty Is More Than Skin Deep
High quality materials and functional design create the most effective and durable greenhouse. A Sunshine GardenHouse adds joy to your life and value to your home.
Double-Wall Polycarbonate Glazing --
The Best Greenhouse Glazing Material
Virtually unbreakable polycarbonate is the same high-tech plastic used in aircraft windshields and helmets. Temperature extremes don't affect its impact resistance. Hail and baseballs bounce off. Its impact strength is 30 times greater than acrylic and 200 times greater than glass. After glass, polycarbonate is the most flame resistant glazing.
Double-wall panels retain heat to help plants stay 10 to 20 degrees F. warmer in the winter. If you use a heater, you'll save 40% of the cost of heating a single-pane glass greenhouse.
Design maximizes the quality of light for full, straight and even plant growth. Sunlight is scattered by the ribs between panel walls to surround plants without shadowing or burning them.
UV-resistant additive in panels blocks 98% of the harmful ultra-violet rays while transmitting 83% of the visible rays that plants need for maximum growth. Plants are more productive. Glazing carries a 10 year limited warranty against hazing and discoloration.
Panels won't crack or shatter. They may be easily cut with a fine toothed saw, allowing easy installation of plumbing or heating equipment.
Automatic Ventilation Simplifies
Climate Control
Automatic vent operators on the roof and base vents require no electricity or batteries. The vent operator contains a parrafin (wax) that expands when the temperature reaches about 65 degrees F., pushing the vent open to its fully opened position at about 85 degrees F. As it cools and the paraffin contracts, the operator's springs draw each vent closed. It is adjustable within approximately 5 degrees F. and easily detachable for manual operation.
Thorough Air Circulation
The roof vent allows air to escape at the hottest point, the roof ridge. Cooler air enters the base vent, creating a chimney effect and circulating cool fresh air throughout the GardenHouse. The convenient Dutch door provides additional ventilation control and easy access.
Attractive and Durable Redwood Frame
The 2 inch by 2 inch clear grade, kiln dried redwood framing is naturally resistant to insect and moisture damage. It resists warping in moist or dry environments. No protective treatment is necessary.
Only second growth redwood is used in the GardenHouse, thus preserving old-growth redwood forests.
The frame base is 2 inch by 4 inch plastic lumber made of 100% recycled plastic. It is impervious to rot, mildew and insects and matches the redwood frame's natural color.
No Foundation Required
Exceptionally rigid and lightweight, only the corners of a GardenHouse need to be anchored to the ground.
Assembles Quickly and Easily
Major components are panelized for an easy, sure fit. Panelized sections are joined by screws. A power screwdriver, a six-foot stepladder and a tape measure are all that is needed for easy assembly. The GardenHouse 6 Ft by 8 Ft model takes between three and six hours to assemble. Even the GardenHouse 8 X 12 takes less than a day for a 'non-builder' to complete.
Strong-Tie® Connector System
Provides Superior Strength and Durability
Simpson Strong-Tie's patented Rigid Tie Connectors make this structure rigid and strong. The GardenHouse was tested by an independent laboratory and easily withstood their maximum wind load capacity of 85 miles per hour with NO damage.
Efficient Roof System
The optimum 45 degree roof slope transmits low angle sun in the winter and reflects high angle sun in the summer. This increases heat in the winter and reduces it in the summer months. It also leaves lots of headroom and plant hanging space. The steep roof slope sheds snow in the winter and can withstand a snow load of 18 pounds per square foot.
Optional Matching Benches
Specially designed matching redwood benches are available that run the full length of the GardenHouse. Benches are 21 inches deep for all models except for the GardenHouse 8 X 12, which are 31 inches deep. They can be stacked to provide additional growing space, each Sunshine GardenHouse capable of holding up to 4 individual benches.
Sunshine GardenHouses purchased through Home Harvest Garden Supply include a FREE one-year membership in The Hobby Greenhouse Association.
