What makes Solexx Greenhouses different than others?
The greenhouse panels are made from polyethylene and undergo UV treatment to guarantee strength. These panels provide insulation, cutting down on heating and cooling expenses, while their translucent nature encourages ideal plant growth. Built-in bench frames expand growing space, each supporting over 250 pounds, while full-length rods aid in overwintering hanging baskets.

Are they able to withstand high winds?
The greenhouses withstand winds up to 70mph. The strong frame and flexible panels handle bad weather. Secure anchoring prevents damage. No gaps mean no wind problems. Even during hurricanes, customers report their greenhouses remain intact.
Are they easy to heat?
The greenhouses are highly efficient in heating, boasting the best insulation with 3.5mm and 5mm twin-walled glazing.

In mild weather, covered black water buckets trap solar energy, releasing heat throughout the night.
