CLIMATE ZONES
US Climate Zones
Cool Climates - Zones 1-5

With 6mm twin-walled polycarbonate panels, the Green Giant Greenhouse
is the best suited for cold weather and snow loads.
Moderate Climates - Zones 6-8

The Hobby Gardener Greenhouse, in green, is the most popular unit for these mid range zones. This unit has 4mm twin-walled polycarbonate panels which will still provide plenty of insulation for the cold season.
Warm Climates - Zones 9-11

For climates with high temperatures, we recommend the single layer, clear polycarbonate panels of the Prestige Greenhouse. For extremely sunny areas,
we also recommend the Hobby Gardener, in white, because the frame will
absorb less light.



GREENHOUSE SIZES

Rion greenhouses are available in two widths, 6’6” and 8’6”

We strongly recommend that schools opt for the 8’6” width to allow plenty of space for planters, workbenches, shelving, students, and all the other equipment that will be stored within your greenhouse.

Rion Greenhouse Kit 8' x 6' Size

Another benefit of the 8’6” greenhouse width is that it is equipped with dual doors, rather than a single door. This will be much more convenient for moving gardening tools in and out of the greenhouse. It will also make it easier for groups of students to enter and exit the greenhouse.

Typically, schools invest in 16, 20 or 24 foot greenhouses. Remember, it is better to have more space than not enough! Consider the number of students that will be working in the greenhouse at one time and the space you’ll need for shelving and workbenches and for storing gardening equipment.

Need extra space to store tools and equipment? Ask us about options for garden storage sheds!
