SOLEXX Greenhouses
You may feel like you are entering a sciencific twilight zone when you enter a Solexx Greenhouse. A different world made just for the plants. If you have ever wondered if you could grow your own coffee beans, yes, you can. A Solexx greenhouse creates the perfect environment for growing coffee bean trees, and it's not hard to do. But, outside of that concept is the wider world of all the vegetables and flowers a person could want.

The Solexx Early Bloomer Greenhouse
The Solexx Greenhouses are very distinct in the opague ployehtylene panels and their rounded shape, although traditional shapes are also available, as well as lean-to's.
Solexx knows the way to build a greenhouse to get the best results in your plants. The opaque twin walls create a diffuse light inside that is actually light rays that are split and redirected, enabling the light to reach into every corner of the greenhouse and around every plant. This eliminates any shadow spots that can occur in ordinary greenhouses. If you are looking for even growth, increased flower production and overall health in your plants, this greenhouse environment will give you that. The greenhouses peak at 8'9", so there is plenty of overhead space which is very nice for hanging plants and even small trees.
Another aspect of Solexx greenhouses is that you do not have to have a foundation. You will need a level place for it, and you will want to use some tie-downs to steady it. With no foundation your Solexx greenhouse is moveable. The frames are solid and sturdy enough, yet lightweight enough that one person on each corner can move even a larger sized greenhouse if necessary. If you plan for mobility to cover your garden beds, you may want to plan for a few smaller ones rather than one huge one to make it easier to move them. Of course, you can install the Solexx greenhouses on a foundation for permanence if you wish to.
The diffuse light inside the Solexx Greenhouse makes an ideal place for specialty plants, for plant nurseries, and year round gardening. They also make a very nice, draft free place to keep birds, start chicks, over-winter tender outdoor plants, clean and repot your houseplants, etc.
You can upgrade your panel choice to 5mm thickness, which will make it that much easier to keep it warm in the high altitude and heavy snow areas. The frames are heavy duty composite material, the same material used to build bridges. The materials throughout are maintenance free and virtually unbreakable.
The Solexx Conservatory styles come in 3 basic sizes:

The Solexx Conservatory Greenhouse
They are 16' wide and have 2 front entry doors. This configuration allows much more usable floor space, work flow, ease of entry and is great for customer movement if you are a retailer. It is so versatile, and with a heigth of 9'6", it will take on any use you can think of. Hanging rods run the entire depth of the greenhouse. You have plenty of bench space with side benches that run the depth of the house, and a 5' wide double tiered bench frame in the center. For every 8' of depth you have 2 Easy-Flow Louvre air vents for air circulation and 30 linear feet of hanging rods space.
The Garden Master series comes in sizes:

The Solexx Garden Master Greenhouse
This series is in the traditional European style of straigt side walls that are 6'6' high and a 8'9" high peaked roof. It has one wide door in the front wall that is hinged. The 2 full length, 29" deep bench frames are built in, but the benches themselves are sold seperately. This allows you the option of not having benches if you are growing from the ground up. There are two full length hanging rods that will hold up to 200 pds of distributed weight.
The Solexx greenhouses have a sturdy built-in base, so you don't need a foundation, but tie-downs are recommended. You don't want to put a Solexx together when the temperatures are reaching to 95* or more, as you could see some buckling in the panels when the weather cools. It doesn't hurt the function of the greenhouse, but it doesn't look good. All Solexx greenhouses come with a large louvred vent and strong, easy to assemble steel fittings (joints). All you have to do is insert the pre-cut, color-coded frame pieces and tighten down the eye bolts.
There are some options available for the Solexx Greenhouses, such as Solexx Base Vents that are installed in the lower wall areas to increase air flow and Solexx 8" Circulating Fans, being a very essential part of keeping the air moving to insure plant health.
Solexx also makes the Harvester, a lean-to model that has a wall on the back side, so you can place it up against a fence or trellising and still have a full greenhouse effect inside. The door is on the flat wall end. The Harvesters are 8' feet deep and come in lengths of 8,12,16 & 24'. Like the other models, it has built-in bench frames on 2 sides that allows you to utilize every square inch of interior space. A double tiered bench space on one side, and a single bench space on the other. The benches are steel reinforced for long lasting strength. You can choose the 3.5 mm or 5mm thickness of twin-wall panels.




If you are looking for a highly functional greenhouse in a smaller size, consider the Early Bloomer model. It's a flower lover's best friend for producing quick, even growth and blooms. It has two easy to reach hanging plant rods overhead running the full length, a large 19"x30" vent, and all the same great features of all the Solexx greenhouse styles in a slightly smaller package and price. The size is 8'x8'x6'3" High.
Then there is the Solexx Gardener's Oasis greenhouse series. The difference between this series and the Early Bloomer series is simply a taller 8' heigth.
No matter which model or series you choose from, you will get the full gammet of very distinctive Solexx features, and enjoy growing in them for a very long time.
