Why Choose CANOPIA – PALRAM?
CANOPIA – PALRAM has been manufacturing high quality polycarbonate panels for over 30 years. CANOPIA – PALRAM only uses high-grade polycarbonate in their manufacturing process and embeds a UV protective layer into their panels to minimize discoloring and brittleness over time. CANOPIA – PALRAM polycarbonate panels slide securely into heavy duty aluminum frames without the need for clips which can be less secure and lead to panel blowout in high winds. All CANOPIA – PALRAM greenhouses feature hinged rather than sliding doors to ensure a tighter seal against the elements. The result is a stronger, tighter, and more secure structure that will last for years.
Mark Fraser –
As an enthusiast of cacti, succulents and orchids I have assembled at least five or six greenhouses, and assisted with the construction of perhaps an equal number. A variety of materials have been used, including glass, polyflute and dual wall polycarbonate, with frames of timber, steel, aluminium and PVC pipe. Given this background, I am pleased to say that the Glory 8′ x 8′ is easily the best quality kit in terms of assembly I have worked with.
What do you get for your money? Two rather large cartons mounted on a pallet. These cartons contain all the polycarbonate sheets and extruded aluminium sections and steel base sections you will need to complete your greenhouse. Also included are the necessary nuts, bolts and screws etc., as well as various section of rubber moulding and plastic end caps and connectors. I was pleased to note that a good number of extra nuts, bolts and so on were included: I didn’t need them, but having access to spares does boost confidence. Unlike some other kits I have dealt with the components actually matched the checklist in the well illustrated instructions.
The components of the base and frame were pleasingly straightforward to assemble. The manual illustrated clearly the correct orientation of components, an comprehensively covered the placement and attachment of all elements of the frame. As the appropriate sections of the frame were assembled it was quite easy to slot in the polycarbonate panels. The stickers indicating which was the external side were well placed and bold enough to avoid confusion. The only quibble I would have with the basic construction is that I would suggest that the section dealing with the placement of the internal holding bolts should follow on directly from the construction of the base: this would assist in keeping the structure square. Leaving their attachment to the end of the project seems somewhat risky.
The construction of the roof vent window was simplicity itself, and the ease with which it was able to be installed was again surprising. It indicated the care that had gone in to finding simple solutions to what can be complex and annoying problems. The installation of the automatic vent opener was excelently illustrated and made the process so much simpler than I have previously experienced. The louvre vents are perhaps the biggest single disappointment for me in this whole project. The louvre I recieved appear to be 10-15 mm to short, and tend to fall out of the louvre frame at the slightest adjustment of position. I have contacted Palram/Canopia about this problem and am waiting a reply. Until this matter is resolved I cannot give the greenhouse a perfect score.
The assembly and hanging of the door was another startlingly straightforward exercise.It again emphasised the care and thought that had gone into the design of this greenhouse kit. The end result has been a very solid and professional looking greenhouse.
I you have already discussed the issue of the louvres, so I do not feel the need to run over that problem again, however if you are dealing with temperature sensitive plants you will want to ensure that the louvres are appropriate. Another aspect of temperature control is the use of shade cloth. Light intensities in Australia can wreak havoc on sensitive plants, and even on some hardy and drought tolerant plants. The use of shade cloth to reduce light intensity and temperature is common here, and the suggested method of suspending shadecloth internally is more than a little absurd. I currently grow cacti and succulents , and I found that without shadecloth a number of desert plants succumbed to sunburn. Most of my Lithops were killed in two days, and a number of cacti, including Turbinicarpus and Ariocarous suffered varying degrees of sunburn. I have since mounted aluminet shadecloth internally, and this has dropped the light intensity appreciably. It should be noted that the internal temperature still reaches 40° C, but this is not such a critical issue. For this reason I am uncertain about recommending this greenhouse to orchid growers, as they may find it a challenge to manage the stable environments orchids prefer.
So, is this greenhouse better than the rest? In many ways it is – the durability of 10 mm polycarbonate, together with the very well designed and machined components leaves the previous kits I have worked with for dead. But for the flaws regarding the louvres and the shading suggestion I would regard this as a perfect greenhouse for both the beginner and the experienced user, especially if, like me, you are more than 180cm tall.
