Description

Choosing the right greenhouse can be a headache for newcomers to gardening, who would rather be getting stuck into their first horticultural endeavours. This 6x4 Mythos Green greenhouse has a budget price tag, yet boasts a build quality and some great features that many in its price range could only dream of. Read through some of the greenhouse's most exciting features to see whether the Mythos is the greenhouse for you.

The 'Green' has an aluminium frame that is powder-coated to achieve a coloured finish that gives your greenhouse a charming appearance, evoking nature and fertility. Some find the green pairs beautifully with leafy plants kept within, or other greenery around the garden like lawns or hedges. But be sure to check out the options for a natural aluminium frame in the form of the Silver, or the darker and sleeker look of the Grey, before ordering.

Features

A unique feature of the Mythos is the twin-wall polycarbonate glazing it uses throughout. This has a translucent appearance – perhaps giving it the elusive and mythical quality from which it earns its title – that does an impressive job of diffusing harsh sunlight, creating a more uniform interior climate. This has the advantage of reducing the risk of vulnerable plants dying off under the more extreme temperatures of summer. 

This polycarbonate also has impressive strength. You will struggle to break it from impact; the material will flex and absorb a hit rather than shatter like glass. This makes it ideal for gardeners worried about placing their greenhouse where it might be damaged by children playing ball games.

Another feature of the 6x4 Mythos is its manual vent, located on a roof panel, which offers a handy way to let in fresh air when the greenhouse is overly humid or warm. This is especially welcome during lengthy potting sessions in the structure. On the other hand, a magnetic door catch is a neat solution for keeping the door open when wanting to stabilise temperature and humidity levels. The ample height of the ridge (the tallest point of the apex roof) at 6'10'' is another design choice that ensures your comfort while walking around the greenhouse. Full ultra-violet protection offered by the polycarbonate panels is similarly appreciated. 

Those concerned about their greenhouse's security will be pleased to find they can easily lock their Mythos with the addition of their own padlock. To avoid wasting water, the Mythos comes with a guttering system already included, diverting any rainfall to the roof's eaves and making it straightforward to collect in water butts for later use in watering plants.

Accessories

A greenhouse allows any avid gardener to be more attentive to their plants, by allowing them to alter the natural climate of their garden. But many of the accessories available with Palram greenhouses go a step further in giving you control over your growing environment.

A fantastic example of this is the Automatic Vent Opener, which requires no electricity or attention on your part to use. As the ambient temperature reaches around 12-15 degrees celsius, the vent will start to open and allow an increased airflow to the greenhouse's interior. A wax cylinder hidden within the part expands when heated, pushing a piston that opens the vent. The moment that chilly wind or rain hits, this wax will start to cool and contract, pulling the vent closed to ensure your greenhouse's interior remains dry.

The Shade Kit provides some relief from sunlight, reducing the likelihood of hotspots that can be perilous to plants in summer. Those for whom efficiency is key will enjoy the time-saving potential of the Drip Irrigation Kit. This piece of gear is especially useful for plants that require daily watering to flourish. Use the kit to evenly distribute water to up to 16 areas of the greenhouses, with droppers that deliver a steady flow. If maximising the available space is your concern, consider adding the Two Tier Staging or Heavy Duty Shelf Kit to your order. The staging is a freestanding polycarbonate unit whose two shelves can cumulatively hold up to 200kg, whereas one Heavy Duty Shelf can support 40kg and is easily placed alongside others in a row thanks to its modular design. 

Additional Details

Assembling your Mythos greenhouse is made simple with clear instructions and glazing that slots 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.

Be 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.
