Canopia by Palram Hybrid Hobby 6 ft. x 8 ft. Greenhouse Kit - Hybrid Panels

Hybrid 6 ft. x 8 ft. Greenhouse Kit -Structure & Hybrid Panels

Few things in life are as satisfying as growing your own plants, be it flowers, vegetables, or herbs. Greenhouses offer an ideal growing environment to make that happen and Palram - Canopia makes ideal DIY greenhouse kits. The differences are in the details. The Hybrid Greenhouse combines two types of polycarbonate panels to create a balanced environment for your plants. Polycarbonate is a virtually unbreakable polymer that provides the light transmission benefits of glass, but is lighter, stronger, and safer. The diffused roof panels are made of 4mm twin-wall polycarbonate, which have twice the heat retention of single layer panels and allow the light to reach your plants at all angles for more even sunlight and growth while preventing plant burn. The side panels are translucent polycarbonate, providing over 90% light transmission, while blocking harmful UV rays. Both the panels and the aluminum frame are engineered to be extremely durable, resistant to harsh weather, and maintain their high quality. This attention to detail continues with an integrated gutter system for drainage as well as a roof vent and hinged door to provide airflow and allow adjustment of heat, humidity, and ventilation. We know it may feel intimidating to put together a greenhouse which is why the Hybrid is designed as a ready to assemble DIY project, with no special tools needed. Extend your growing season and display your plants while protecting them from harsh sunlight with a hybrid-glazed greenhouse kit!

Frequently asked questions

Can two greenhouses be put together to form a larger one?

No, it is not an option, it cannot be performed.

Can this be disassembled if moving to another house, or is it a permanent structure?

Yes, it can be disassembled, relocated and reassembled at a different location. 

Can I get doors on both sides? 

No, it is not an option to get doors on both ends.

Can the door be installed on the other side of the greenhouse, instead of the side that is shown?

Does it come with a floor / base? 

The greenhouses do not come with a floor or base. 

How well will this hold up in a hailstorm? We have at least 3 hailstorms each year so I really need to know before purchase? 

Yes, the polycarbonate panels are high impact resistant and withstand hail.

How many years are the polycarbonate panels expected to last in direct sunlight when installed properly? 

The warranty for all our greenhouses is for at least 5 years, some for more .

The crystal-clear single layer or twin-wall polycarbonate panels maintain their integrity, they do not discolor, opacify, fracture or shatter over time.

What is the structural loading of a wall in the Palram greenhouses? 

Each wall section can carry up to 44 lbs. at most – an entire wall would depend upon the greenhouse’ size.

How does one secure the greenhouse to a foundation? Can the greenhouse be anchored to concrete slab? Can it be anchored directly to the ground? 

 It can be anchored to a foundation, depending on the greenhouse, some have compatible holes at the bottom of the greenhouse base, and some have their own integrated anchoringr

Yes, the greenhouse can be anchored to concrete slab. It can be anchored directly to the ground using ground stakes (ground stakes are not supplied with the greenhouse kits).

*Firmly connect the product to a level surface immediately after completion of the assembly.

Anchoring this product to the ground is essential to its stability and rigidity

It is required to complete this stage in order for your warranty to be valid.

Is this an all-weather green house that can be used in the winter? 

The Palram Greenhouse can be used year-round, 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.

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 Glory Greenhouse which has a 10mm polycarbonate covering.
