Description

It is easy to be caught out by a change in weather, whether that’s a scorching heatwave or a frosty chill that kills off vulnerable plants. A well-built greenhouse will be able to retain a moderate temperature throughout the year. This is why gardeners appreciate the balanced environment of the Palram 6x6 Mythos Silver, which features translucent polycarbonate glazing designed to uniformly spread sunlight around the greenhouse.

This Silver model has a frame made from natural aluminium, for a straightforward yet classic look of clean and crisp lines. The reassuring shine of this metal will remain, thanks to its natural resistance to corrosion and rust.

Features

One of the unique features of the Mythos is its impressive twin-wall polycarbonate structure used in both its roof and wall panels. The two layers of translucent polycarbonate provide impeccable shielding from the elements, producing a dependable buffer between the outdoors and the precious plants kept inside. Polycarbonate is already a fantastically strong material and difficult to break, but two layers greatly increase its overall strength. These panels also aim to diffuse sunlight, stopping vulnerable plants from being over-exposed to harsh sunlight in hotter months and creating a more consistent micro-climate throughout the interior.

Another feature of the Mythos 6x6 is its manually openable 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 closed 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 for later use in water butts.

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 the 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 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 comforted by 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.
