Grandio Hobby Greenhouse - Base Kit Assembly Tips

Base Kit Assembly Tips

PrePlan

The Placement Of Your Structure

Allow enough room to get a wheel barrow in and around your structure.

Be sure the orientation will allow for proper drainage in and around your greenhouse.

It is recommended that you place your greenhouse in an area of your property that receives the most

sunlight but is also somewhat protected by trees, fencing or your home for wind protection and also to keep the temperature up during early spring and late fall.

The best placement depends on the features of your property, it is suggested in most scenarios to have your greenhouse face South on its broadest side and to have the door face East or West depending on typical wind directions in your area. Do not worry if your orientation will not allow for the placement to be as suggested, as a greenhouse that is facing North is better than no greenhouse at all.

Avoid building your greenhouse at the base of a slope as these are often frost pockets where cold air

collects, this will not be good for your greenhouse in keeping the temperature up inside.

Extreme Wind Conditions :

If you live in a windy location there is no way to build a 100% storm safe

greenhouse, but there are a number of things you can do to minimize the chance of damage. Ensure that the base is level and square, be sure all panels are tightly in place and that all aluminum extrusions are tight.

The main problem is usually that wind gets into the greenhouse and the pressure pushes a panel out and then the force of the wind on the interior causes more damage. It is best if you are expecting an extreme weather event that you disable any auto roof vents and make sure all doors and windows are closed and locked shut. Also you may need to build a wind break for extreme condition areas where wind is constant and extreme.

It is ideal for your greenhouse to have water, electricity and even gas plumbed into place before

construction. This will make watering plants and keeping the temperature and air circulation to the max efficiency.

For Cement Base Installation :

We suggest you use wedge style concrete anchoring bolts to secure your structure.

For Deck Base Installation :

We recommend you use a set of anchoring bolts to secure your structure.

For Earth Installation :

We recommend you use the anchoring system provided and bury corner posts into

the ground and seal into place with Quickrete.

Grandio Greenhouse - 2015 Hobby Greenhouse Reviews and Rankings

2015 Hobby Greenhouse Reviews and Rankings: There are a great number of greenhouse kit options for the greenhouse gardener. You can find everything from a coldframe seedling starter up to near commercial size greenhouses. We decided to focus on the most popular sizes and styles of greenhouses for the hobby and backyard gardener, then test and review these greenhouses to see which ones truly were best. So with that in mind here are our top reviews and ratings for hobby greenhouses in 2014.

TOP 3 BEST RATED GREENHOUSE KITS

1. Grandio Elite Greenhouses 5 Stars ..."After setting up and testing the Grandio Elite greenhouse, we are hard pressed to find anything we didn't like. The key features of the Grandio Elite that led us to award it our #1 Rating and Top Pick are the following: attractive looks, tall barn-style roof, heavy duty frame, 10mm thick twin wall panels, easy assembly, and standard included base and accessories. "                      2. Juliana Premium Greenhouse 4.8 Stars ..."The Juliana Premium series is a very nice greenhouse, especially for those gardeners who live in areas with very harsh winters, or who like the look of a European-style greenhouse versus the barn style of the Grandio Elite. It is attractive, has nice standard features, is extremely well insulated and durable."                       3. Grandio Ascent Greenhouse 4.8 Stars ..."When shopping for greenhouses you quickly learn you need to compromise. You want strength but give in due to costs, you want working room but have to go to a larger size than originally wanted, you want easy installation but that generally requires a starter unit. It’s a give and take greenhouse world. Then we found and tested the Grandio Ascent Greenhouse Kit..." www.allsunsolarproducts.com

Grandio Hobby Greenhouses - How to use a Greenhouse Shade Net with Roof Vents

How to Use Greenhouse Shade Net with Roof Vents

---

We recently received the following question --

"How does it work using an aluminum shade net over the exterior of the green house if you have the vent windows where they open automatically? Would the netting interfere with the windows opening? I have seen green houses with shade nets on the inside of the green houses but not sure about the ones on the outside."

That is a great question. The answer is that our aluminet shade nets go on the outside of the greenhouse and they are stretchy enough so that when the windows open the netting just moves with the window. You do not need to cut openings for the roof vents, you just go right over them. We feel an exterior shade net is a better solution than interior nets which will allow more light and heat into the greenhouse. Ours reflect the light and heat before it enters the greenhouse.
