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

Those looking for a greenhouse that catches the eye will not be disappointed in the 8ft Palram Oasis, due to a hexagonal structure that eliminates any tight corners. This design helps produce a greenhouse that is just as pleasant to sit inside with a glass of something cold as it is to use for growing projects. 

With the magnificent appearance and ample space offered by the Oasis, there is plenty of potential for creating striking displays of fruit brushes, trellis, or hanging flower baskets. And thanks to a handful of brilliant features and a build quality you can trust to withstand the years, the 8ft Oasis is an ideal way to bring some excitement to any neglected corner of your garden.

Features

The structure of the Palram 8ft Oasis relies on durable materials, providing a strong foundation for the greenhouse. This begins with a galvanised steel base around the perimeter of the Oasis, which is resistant to corrosion. Sturdy aluminium is used for the rest of the greenhouse's frame and has an attractive grey powder-coated finish. 

The finishing touch is the high-quality polycarbonate glazing. Frosted twin-wall glazing is featured in the roof panels to diffuse the harshest light from the sun, while the glazing featured in the walls is crystal clear. This makes the interior of the Oasis an appealing place to sit and relax in mild weather, with the clear side glazing giving you a good view of your surroundings. Looking into your Oasis from the outside, the transparent sides bring clarity to your hard work on the plants inside.

If you want to create a sustainable irrigation system for your plants, the guttering that comes built into the Oasis's frame means that collecting rainwater is a straightforward task, with the addition of a water butt (not supplied with the Oasis). As is controlling the temperature and humidity of your greenhouse, thanks to an elegant louvre vent that can be manually opened to let in fresh air.

A low threshold doorway ramp and double doors that open wide mean that accessing your greenhouse has never been easier. The generous headroom of the Oasis is often remarked upon by visitors, too, with an interior height of over eight and a half feet at its peak.

Accessories

Hobby gardeners will appreciate the opportunities Palram creates to expand the uses of the Oasis and extract its full potential with its range of accessories. If you find the side louvre vent of the Oasis an attractive feature, why not double down and include an additional Side Louvre Window (Silver) with your purchase? Alternatively, make adjusting the vent you already have an easy experience with the Automatic Vent Opener. This item requires no external power and instead relies on the sun's warmth to expand a hidden wax cylinder and push open the vent. As the ambient temperature cools, this works in reverse when the piston contracts and draws the vent shut to the elements.

To make the most of the generous height of the 8ft Oasis, we recommend investing in the Trellising Kit Pro. This item includes everything you need to care for plants with tall and frail stems that need support – six roller hooks, twine, and three types of support clips for various crops. 

Additional Details

The Palram Oasis greenhouse is delivery flat-packed and needs to be assembled at home. All parts and fixtures needed to build your 8ft Oasis are included.
