The largest greenhouse kit at a behemoth 8’x16′ is the Snap Grow greenhouse, available at a savings of $1,190. An innovative SmartLock connector system simplifies setup, so you can have it up and running in no time. The split door and vent windows—made from the same tough, crystal-clear SnapGlas as the panels—come preassembled out of the box. Anchor it to a foundation like concrete for a stable greenhouse that won’t bend or flex in bad weather.
What to Look for When Buying Greenhouse Kits
Before shopping for a greenhouse kit, here are a few things to remember. First, consider the size of the greenhouse. You want to make sure that it can fit in your space and isn’t going to construct our home or any exits. Next, investigate the materials from which the greenhouse is made. Even though glass greenhouses are more expensive, they are more durable and allow more sunlight in. The other option is plastic, a cheaper material that is still durable but more susceptible to damage from the sun and wind.
