Description

A Durable, Easy-to-Build Hobby Greenhouse

The Essence is a hobby greenhouse that's built tougher than most kits in its price range. Virtually unbreakable 4mm twin-wall polycarbonate panels block 99.9% of harmful UV rays while letting in soft, diffused light, and a reinforced roof and rust-resistant aluminum frame stand up to the weather (rated for 16 lbs. per sq. ft. of snow and 60 mph winds with the anchoring kit).

Easy Access for Every Gardener

High-clearance double doors and a ramp-style threshold make it easy to roll in a wheelbarrow, garden cart or wheelchair — one reason the Essence is popular with schools and community gardens as well as backyard growers. Two vent windows keep air moving, and 6.5 feet of headroom means plenty of room to stand and work.

Three Sizes, Simple Assembly

Choose 8'x12' (about 95 sq ft), 8'x16' (about 128 sq ft) or 8'x20' (about 160 sq ft). Lightweight panels slide right into the frame, and most owners finish setup in 4–5 hours. Rain gutters, a lockable door handle and a galvanized steel base are all included, backed by Palram's 5-year limited warranty.

Does the essence 8 x 10 greenhouse come with anchor bolts?

It comes with a Base but not the actual bolts.
Wish to drop greenhouse over 6'0" X 6'0" concrete slab that has well pump station. Other piping within 2 feet in width and same for electric power source. My thought nis to use the greenhouse as a weel pump house enclosure and have a dual use as to plants. Ground is fairly level but sandy soil (oak trees and brush). How about this product working out for me? It is windy here, getting 40 mph gusts. What about anchor system? Really don't need the shelving, prefer the open space. "

it should work with the Palram Anchor System
