With our AVM its no wires and no worries…

The optional custom manufactured solar-powered Active Ventilation Management system (AVM) is a self-contained way to automate the air circulation of your greenhouse without wires or worries. Air exchange is important to bring in CO² and help control temperature/humidity. The system includes…

A 100-watt custom manufactured solar panel and mount with 2 included SLA batteries for power

4x 125 CFM IP68 waterproof axial fans mounted into a hand-built cedar louvered panel

A moisture safe digital control box with interval timer for CO², and Temperature / Humidity controls

Large SOCKiTBOX® is provided for power cord connections to add a heater or grow lights

Capable of exchanging the air in the greenhouse about once every two minutes

(1) Hang it on the wall (2) plugin batteries (3) hook up cable… Done!

All cedar structure is as beautiful as it is tough…

Don’t let how pretty it is fool you… cedar is one tough wood. Whether you seal it or not, cedar will outlast every other N. American species in outdoor use. Sealed, it will maintain its golden color. Unsealed, it will patina to a natural grey/silver look. Our joinery methods are tough too and have been proven so in over 10,000 of our coops… in service in all 50 states.

Large hand-crafted panels are made from culled custom milled Grade 1 Western Red Cedar

Wall panels attach with provided 3″ ceramic screws into pre-drilled holes with your cordless drill.

All door hinges come pre-attached

Pre-attached roof panels on a unique scissor frame allows installation from ground

Twin-Wall PolyCarb & HDPE wall panels…

We dado cut slots into the cedar lumber frames and then install precision CNC cut Twin-Wall Polycarbonate clear panels into upper wall sections. Lower wall sections have recycled black HDPE food grade plastic inserts for splash protection and protection from objects shot out from mowers.

UV Protected ultra clear 6mm Polycarbonate panels transmit more light than other brands
Clearer than most glass, withstands high heat and super sub zero temperatures
Cedar / Black HDPE “look” is designed to match our Raised Vegetable Garden bases

Wind tested to 80mph… these panels don’t only look great, they’re virtually indestructible
Large sized individual panels make for fewer pieces to assemble
3/16 thick solid HDPE panels on bottoms provide strength, splash protection and are puncture proof

We hope you think it’s just pretty. But it’s more…

Our slant-roof design has benefits that are more than just beautiful. At a 25° slant, it will help shed all but the stickiest of snow and ice. Heat naturally flows to its tall side which makes venting it more certain. It also provides loads of headroom. Seven feet to be exact, no other design provides more evenly distributed, longer periods of optimal sunlight than a slant roof.

Provides greatest light and heat during sunlight transit from east to west

If snow accumulates, its easily knocked off as the roof remains flexible even in sub-zero temperatures
Heat naturally collects to the high side and can be collected or exhausted
Provides low wind resistance by allowing gusty winds to blow over the top
Naturally provides for high watershed rates
5 foot high on the low side, 9 foot on the high side, and 7 feet of headroom in all working spaces
The shape lends itself to the easy out-of-the-way installation of necessary shade cloths

A crazy idea that works marvelously…

How do you ship a 10 foot long roof panel in a truck with only 7 feet of door height? Who wants to climb up on a 25° degree slant roof? All those roof screws, what a pain. Our answer? Make each roof section fold, “scissor” the top edge into place and lay the bottom edge on the short wall. All from the ground. For sure takes two strong people, but way better than getting on top 🙂

Panels are preinstalled on scissor style frames that can be installed from the ground

Pre-made panels means no climbing on top during installation

Preinstalled closure strips keep out unwanted guests
USA Made TuffTex© Polycarbonate panels are ultra clear, hail proof and long lasting
Ships to you in three preassembled sections ready to install

It’s our first greenhouse, but not our first rodeo.

With 10,000 plus Chicken Coops and Raised Gardens spread all over the country, we know a thing or two about building. No body makes bigger more sturdy cedar framed kits than Roost & Root. The Slant-Roof Greenhouse™ is made from proven materials and proven methods just like everything we sell.

Proven cedar lumber panels and fastening system won’t fail over time

Black HDPE & Poly Twin-Wall panels are dado inset and won’t blow out unexpectedly

Suspended roof system can hold at least #800 like it would be with snow and ice until cleared.

Design has excellent wall rigidity due to panel construction and wall to roof bracing
Doors have high quality brush style seals to keep out bugs and drafts
Generous roof overhang is appealing but also keeps areas nearest structure free of run-off
Standard ventilation accommodations will be suitable for many users and a variety of growing scenarios
Thoughtful purpose-built accessories allow for customizations to suit different users and applications

It’s your space, you decide how to use it…

We picked the shape of the new Slant-Roof Greenhouse™ with the idea of giving you a wide range of options on how it gets used. Whether you plan to do seedlings, grow herbs, start vegetables early for transplanting, or you like growing flowers… wide open spaces and generous ceiling heights make just about anything possible.

5′ high back wall with your 18″ to 24″ wide shelving puts you standing with 7′ of headroom to work

7′ high front wall allows for taller shelving but still leaves space above for warmer air

Either of our 24″ wide raised vegetable gardens ( 4′ or 8′ models) will fit lengthwise

Even with both sides chocked full there’s generous space in the middle to work from

Strong roof structure provides additional space to hang planters from

For those times when things get a little too hot…

It’s probably the idea of a warm place to start plants that motivates you to buy a greenhouse. But you’ll quickly find, that on a sunny day, the Slant-Roof design can make a 50°F or even more increase in temperatures quickly. In even moderately warm days, too much sun can overheat your greenhouse!

Custom sewn shade cloth in easy to install 2 piece design

Magnetically attaches using sewn in protected rare-earth magnets

Available in a 60% block weave

Made from ultra long lasting commercial grade polypropylene fabric

Sewn with black UV bonded polyester thread

All hardware is included

Outstanding passive ventilation features…

A big part of operating your greenhouse is to keep the air flowing in and out. Not everyone will opt for our Active Ventilation Management AVM system due to cost, or just wanting to be a purest. No worries, we’ve got your back… and your front too!

Large vertical front panels on each side allow heat that rises on high side to vent out

Lower back wall intake vents are positioned to draw from natural heat rise under roof

All vents have large mesh screen that allows bees and lady bugs in but keeps birds out

Back vents have our beautiful hand-crafted cedar wood louvers

Finer mesh screen is easily added by customer to control smaller insects if desired

Additional ventilation can be affected by the purchase of our inexpensive magnetic mesh door screen.

… and even more purpose made accessories.

Not everyone lives in the same place (duh) or plans to use their greenhouse in the same way (duh) and it is with that in mind that we built both standard and optional features. You buy what you want for where you live and how you plan to use the greenhouse.

Boardwalks – All cedar boardwalks QTY 2 are pretty and also serve as a dry place to work from. If you run cords into your greenhouse, they can also be run under the boardwalks to cover them.

Magnetic Closure Door Screen – Allows you to leave the door open for extra ventilation but keep birds out.
