Description

Smaller greenhouses intended for gardens often forfeit the higher quality features available in larger commercial greenhouses. With the Palram 6x8 Glory the opposite proves to be true, with an incredible number of features packed into the relatively modest structure. This makes the Glory the gold standard for home greenhouses, and this 6x8 would be an ideal starting point for hobbyists wanting to take their growing projects to new heights.

Gardening can be a relaxing and restorative way to spend your free time in an increasingly hectic world. A well-built greenhouse, like the Palram Glory, gives you the freedom to grow more plants through colder seasons, without worrying about maintaining or replacing a greenhouse that isn't up to the job.

Features

The sheer range of features included with the 6x8 Glory can be overwhelming, but we hope to break it down for you here. The greenhouse's upper vent opens automatically, thanks to an ingenious opener system that uses the ambient thermal energy of your greenhouse to open when the interior is overly warm, and contracts with cooler weather. A secondary mode of ventilation is provided by the louvre style vent at the side, which can let in cooler air while keeping a low profile in the greenhouse wall.

Another welcomed design feature of the 6x8 Glory is its generous eaves height, which offers over six feet of interior headroom even at the lowest heights, reducing the need to stoop when walking inside – and providing plenty of vertical growing space ready for your homegrown plants to string up. A wide single door also contributes to the ease of accessing your greenhouse, and is ideal for larger items or wheelbarrows. The low-threshold ramp into the greenhouse makes pushing a wheelbarrow or entering by wheelchair all that bit easier.

A couple of other features that will subtly improve your experience of gardening are a brush strip that excludes draughts under the door, and an included guttering system that makes collecting any rain that falls onto the Glory's roof a doddle – especially with the addition of a water butt.

Behind all of these features is the phenomenal build quality that provides a strong and durable foundation for the greenhouse. The aluminium frame used in the Glory is much thicker than lower-end models and is further supported by bars at roof's ridge and eaves. Rather than using glass – which is heavier and can be prone to shattering – the Glory utilises 10mm thick polycarbonate glazing throughout. This twin-wall glazing is semi-transparent, in order to diffuse direct sunlight and make sure that shadier spots receive more light.

Accessories

Palram have created an exciting range of accessories for those who would like to specialise their greenhouse and ready it for certain projects. For example, those planting in summer might want to consider the Shade Kit as a way to protect plants from the harshest sunlight.

Other accessories, like the Automatic Louvre Opener, simply increase the ease with which you can nurture plants. Another of our favourites is the Drip Irrigation Kit, which can be used to water plants simultaneously via up to 16 droppers. This is great for thirsty plants that thrive on daily attention, when you lack the time to water each plant individually or want to ensure a steady and even stream of water across the greenhouse.

Additional Details

The Palram 6x8 Glory is delivered flat-packed and assembled by owners at home. While it helps to have some DIY experience, many customers often find building their greenhouse a rewarding way to spend a weekend with a friend or family member. Follow the manufacturer's written instructions close to see the best results.

Customers who have the future in mind will be pleased to know that Palram backs up their claim of excellent build quality with a five-year warranty to set your mind at ease. Check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure you know the full details for the (very minimal) necessary maintenance and can make sure your coverage is valid.
