Whether its the premium Western Red Cedar lumber, ultra-clear poly-carbonate roof or sidewalls, or the meticulously sourced hardware… the materials are all undeniably best in class. Integrated innovative options like a magnetically attached shade cloth system or the solar powered digitally controlled ventilation system take a load off managing your greenhouse environment and extend your growing season.
- The Details
-
- Regional Info
-
Use of a greenhouse is extremely diverse and the skills required are affected by, among other things, region and the plants you’re wanting to grow. The Slant-Roof Greenhouse™ design anticipates a set of factors that are influenced by regions. We hope the following will help you to understand better what to expect from your new greenhouse.
Considerations for Zone 2
We do not recommend the use of this greenhouse in Zone 2 areas. The exception would be if you were to apply supplemental heat if needed, or were planning to use the greenhouse in a narrow season.
Considerations for Zones 3-5
Snow Load: The 25° pitch roof should in many circumstances shed snow on its own, especially if the interior warms up significantly during the day or supplemental heat is used to avoid freezing. If significant amounts of snow accumulates, we would recommend periodically knocking it off. The back edge of the roof is extended enough that we expect the snow that slide off to not pack against the back wall. We load-tested the roof with #800 lbs of sandbags equally distributed and it deflected an acceptable amount.
Use of supplemental heat would be required in extended periods of below-freezing weather and may not be practical for some users. In higher temperature months, you will need to utilize 60% shade cloth to keep temperatures down due to the highly effective roof design and its ability to create heat inside the structure.
Considerations for Zones 6-9
In these more moderate climate zones, we would expect you to use your greenhouse in all but the hottest of months. In higher temperature months, you will need to utilize 60% shade cloth to keep temperatures down due to the highly effective roof design and its ability to create heat inside the structure. During the summer months, you may need to use extra ventilation to avoid too much heat.
In short spurts, you might need to provide supplemental heat in the middle of a harsh winter storm to avoid freezing.
Considerations for Zone 10
We do not recommend the use of this greenhouse in Zone 10 areas without using a 60% or greater shade cloth during the hottest months to block hot sunlight and considerable attention being given to ventilation.

-
Read carefully all the information about a product. We’re not trying to hide anything, but to keep web pages less cluttered, many details are organized in tabs or toggles.
Carefully review information on your cart page. We try to answer questions there too.
Wherever you see the info icon or “Note”, we’re trying to bring something to your attention.
Most of our products are delivered via freight because of their large size. We package your purchase carefully to protect it during transit. How your item is treated after it leaves our facility is outside our control, but we will make right any shipping damage whether its our fault or not.
Shippers will contact you by phone to arrange for your order to be dropped off at an accessible location at the delivery address. Products are designed so that individual pieces can be transported by hand to their final place of assembly.
Written or digital instructions are provided for each order and “assembly overview” videos are available for most everything we sell to give customers a good idea of what is involved in assembling your purchase before you buy. Most of our products are designed to be assembled by 2 people and in all cases, by people of ordinary skills. We rely on you having a cordless drill, maybe a hammer, and in some cases, a tape measure.
We try to write instructions for a balance of visual and written use. If you hire a contractor, you’ll want to make sure they read instructions too. Our products cannot be assembled without using the instructions as intended. If you or your contractor do have problems during assembly, you can either call or text us.
The Solar AVM system cannot cool your greenhouse more than the outside temperature. It ventilates. If you require cooling, you may need to use a small properly ventilated air conditioning unit in addition to the AVM.
Accessories are made to work with our products. We do not warrant their use with products other than those that they are intended for.
Temporary snow loads of less than 20 lbs per square foot on the roof have been accounted for. That’s a lot of snow. However, snow should be knocked off often when possible. Icing on edges of roof may need to be addressed as well.
