How Strong is a ClimaPod Greenhouse?

Europe’s standards are higher than those in the US, and the TUV Europe testing lab which is equivalent to UL has tested the product and certified it as being strong and safe. The incredible strength of the greenhouse comes from its excellent engineering and the high quality of plastics and aluminum used.

How Much Wind Can it Withstand?

Much depends on the location, foundation, and what sort of wind velocity your region can get. We do know from customers that the units have withstood wind gusts over 70 mph winds without damage. Even in very bad windstorms, based on reports we received in nearly 10 years of selling ClimaPods, the worst that can happen to your greenhouse is that some of the polycarbonate panels are blown out which are very easy to replace. Note that for cold, high-snow and high-wind regions we recommend using our double-wall polycarbonate kits, caulking edges with silicone, setting up climapod Storm Kit, as well as making sure all the vents and doors are shut when wind/snow is expected.

What is the Snow Load Capacity?

The load capacity is roughly 50 lbs per square foot. Never the less, we recommend that you brush the snow off the roof whenever it gets over a foot.

What is the Best Site for My Greenhouse?

The selection of a site involves taking into consideration three important factors:

1. the most desirable location should be partially shaded by deciduous tree(s) or lacking shade draped with an external shade cloth over the greenhouse;
2. the site should also be sheltered from the wind by a tree(s) or some other barriers;
3. the site should be level and allow for good drainage.

If possible, locate the greenhouse where it will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight during the winter months. Try to avoid a site that is completely shaded by buildings or trees. A good site would also be sheltered from high winds. Easy access and close water and electricity proximity are also important. The recommended greenhouse’ position is with its ridge running east and west so its length will face the sun during most hours.

How is the Greenhouse Secured?

Ideally the greenhouse should be attached to some sort of foundation, preferably something heavy/solid, in order to keep it secure.
All ClimaPod Greenhouses comes with ~5″ aluminum base that can be connected to most kinds of foundations.

What is Polycarbonate?

Polycarbonate is a particular group of thermoplastic polymers. Their superior features in comparison with other polymers (temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties) position them between commodity plastics and engineering plastics.

Why is Polycarbonate Better Than Glass?

Polycarbonate panels are virtually unbreakable. It is a great advantage, considering their longevity as well as their safety, especially crucial when younger children or the elderly are involved.The light weight of the panels – less than 2-3 lbs – is another advantage that affects the convenience of assembly or even re-location option (assembled 9’x12′ greenhouse is less than 250 lbs).

In addition the Polycarbonate panels protect everything inside the greenhouse from the harmful UV rays, either it is shelving, pots, tools or your skin.

In the last few years the glass has to a great extent been substituted by a new higher grade material – twin wall polycarbonate.

ClimaPod’s  twin-wall polycarbonate offers high impact resistance, excellent heat retention and 80-90% light transmission. ClimaPod greenhouse polycarbonate sheets are designed and engineered specifically for greenhouse use.

All of our panels have UV protection on the outer side to help protect your plants from getting burnt by UV rays and prevent the polycarbonate from yellowing after many years of use. The multi-layer structure reduces heating costs in winter while minimizing excessive heat in summer. Polycarbonate has an insulating effect, so the temperature in the greenhouse will be more even and create a better growing habitat.

What are the Clear Polycarbonate Panels?

Clear Polycarbonate panels are unique for ClimaPod Clear greenhouses. They combine the visual appearance and functional effects of glass with the advantages of polycarbonate greenhouse.These are solid panels that have about 90% light transmission and this helps to make flowers and plants inside the greenhouse to be a part of your garden landscape. You can see everything inside the greenhouse just like through glass and your plans will enjoy maximum light exposure.

On the other hand, Clear polycarbonate panels are fully safe since they are virtually unbreakable, and their light weight makes the assembly process easier and more convenient.

How Long will the Greenhouse Last?

Because ClimaPod is using Polycarbonate that is UV protected, there is no yellowness, turbidity or disintegration for at least 10 years.

Will the Aluminum Frame Rust?

No. All of our kits are made of aluminum, which is rust resistant. The steel hardware parts are galvanized.

What Surface is Needed to Mount the Greenhouse?

The greenhouse must be positioned on a flat level surface. It can either be a concrete, gravel, strong wood platform, or a flat ground that was leveled carefully.

How is the Greenhouse Anchored?

The greenhouse should be anchored to a firm surface.

How do I Clean the Greenhouse?

Use a mild detergent solution and rinse with cold clean water. DO NOT use acetone, abrasive cleaners, or other special detergents for cleaning as they can remove the UV resistant layer on the polycarbonate.

Are there any Regulatory Approvals?

Some of the supplied product, its packaging, and components may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. This Notice is provided in accordance with California’s Proposition 65.
