Greenhouse 8x16

Greenhouse 8x16

An 8 x 16 ft greenhouse with blue-green wainscoting is a spacious, walk-in structure that combines durable transparent panels for plant growth with an aesthetically pleasing, solid base in a custom color. The wainscoting provides a finished, architectural look and can be made of various materials like corrugated steel or aluminum. 

Structure and Dimensions

The greenhouse typically offers 128 square feet of floor space, providing ample room for growing plants and storing tools. 

• Dimensions: The structure measures approximately 8 ft. wide by 16 ft. long, with varying peak heights, often around 8 ft..
• Frame: Frames are usually made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials such as heavy-duty aluminum (often powder-coated for color) or pressure-treated Southern Yellow Pine.
• Wainscoting: The lower portion of the walls features a blue-green wainscoting. This can be a pre-built aluminum panel system or corrugated steel, which adds aesthetic appeal and an alternative to traditional brick foundations. 

Glazing and Materials

The main structure above the wainscoting is designed to maximize sunlight while providing protection. 

• Panels: The walls and roof often use heavy-duty 8 mm or 10 mm multi-wall polycarbonate panels (which diffuse light and offer insulation) or 4mm toughened safety glass for clarity and safety.
• UV Protection: The panels are typically 100% UV protected to prevent yellowing or becoming brittle over time, ensuring a long lifespan. 

Features and Ventilation

An 8 x 16 ft greenhouse generally includes multiple features to ensure a thriving environment for plants. 

• Ventilation: The design typically incorporates multiple roof vents (often with automatic openers that are solar-powered) and/or side louver vents to regulate temperature and humidity. Some models also include a powered exhaust fan with a thermostat.
• Access: A single or double door provides easy access for gardeners and equipment like a wheelbarrow.

Additional Features: Common inclusions are built-in rain gutters for water collection, interior shelving, and hanging basket rails. Aesthetics

• The blue-green wainscoting gives the greenhouse a distinct, classic, or modern appearance that can match garden aesthetics. The frame might also be available in a complementary color like "Blue Grass" to ensure a cohesive look.
