Detailed Specification

Please note: all imperial measurements are approximate and Palram products are made from metric measurements.

Please Note: Because of the lightweight materials, this greenhouse is not suitable for windy or exposed areas. In these circumstances we recommend a glass greenhouse which is heavier and will remain grounded. This greenhouse is also not supplied with a floor, so for greater stability it should be constructed on an appropriate concrete or slab base.

Description

This unique greenhouse features mixed styles of polycarbonate glazing, firmly held in a robust aluminium frame. The excellent level of quality found in the 6 x 8 Palram Hybrid greenhouse means that owners can get started on their gardening projects with minimal fuss. A grey finish ensures this greenhouse looks attractive in any setting with its smart and neutral look - with the alternative Green and Silver options also available to order.

Features

The Palram Hybrid's most unique feature among the range is its combination of glazing types, with clear polycarbonate being used for the wall panels and frosted style glazing for all roof panels. These UV-absorbing polycarbonate panels can withstand hits from stray footballs without shattering like glass, and will never turn clouded or yellow with age. This strength is why the Hybrid is resistant to wind speeds up to 56mph, and why each square foot can take the weight of 15.4lbs of snow.

A feature we applaud Palram for including is the vent, which can be manually opened to increase airflow and reduce humidity and temperature as needed.

Security is often a concern for gardeners who like to store their tools or other items in the greenhouse. Fortunately, the 6x8 Hybrid has a door catch that can easily be locked with the addition of your own padlock. Another feature that will improve your experience is the built-in guttering system, that reduces the need to use water from your home to water plants by making any rainfall onto the greenhouse's roof very straightforward to collect in water butts.

Accessories

The 6x8 Palram Hybrid greenhouse offers an excellent degree of improved temperature and humidity control compared to the outdoors, but if you're the type of hobbyist who needs their gardening environment set up just so, we think that Palram's range of accessories have extraordinary utility.

For example, the Shade Kit provides some relief from sunlight for any plants vulnerable to being damaged by the hotspots that tend to appear in the summer season. The Shade Kit comes with clips that also make useful hangers for baskets or stems that need stringing up to the greenhouse ceiling.

Maximising your available space is also worth considering. To do this, you may want to pick up a few Heavy Duty Shelf Kits, which attach to the greenhouse's aluminium frame and can be lined up closely along a wall. Each shelf supports up to 40kg. Otherwise, the freestanding Two Tier Staging units offer an impressive amount of space and have perforations to ensure any water will drain away from your plants.

Explore these accessories and more before ordering, and easily include your chosen accessories in the same purchase as your greenhouse.

Additional Details

Assembling your Hybrid greenhouse is made simple with clear instructions and panels that slot together once the aluminium frame is in place. Customers find it is best to put their greenhouse together with a friend, over the course of a day or across a weekend. While assembling, the owner can decide for themselves the direction they would like the single door to open, by choosing which side of the frame to fasten the door's hinges.

Feel secure in the knowledge that your Palram greenhouse will be covered by the same five-year warranty that is offered to every product in the range. Check the instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure you know the full details for adequate maintenance and can retain the coverage, which takes minimal effort.
