harmony green house

[gardengeordie]

Hi,

I have been looking at getting a 8x6 harmony greenhouse, the area i live in is quite open, does anyone have this greenhouse and how does it handle in windy weather?

Thanks very much

I have the Palram Harmony & is holding up fine but like many Polycarb GH's, extra bracing may be an idea.

thanks i was looking at possibly getting the fixing kits from B&q to attach to the ground, do you have yours anchored?

[Bigmallly]

Yes GG, mine is secured to scaffold boards to give me extra height. Due to the single glazing sliding into slots rather than w clips, I find I don't need to put any extra support into them. If you are in an exposed area, you may need to think about extra battons across the panels.

thank you very much! i think ill go for this one then whilst the 10% offer is on looks it like a nice greenhouse also

Some reviews talk about the noise the panels make in the wind but I can't comment on that as it is too far away for me to hear them.

i sleep on the front of the house and it will be quite abit of a distance a way from the i house, looking forward to getting it and starting a new season,

last year i had a cheap one from wilko but was a nightmare with condensation so hoping i achieve better results with this one

Well good luck with whichever you decide to go for, read plenty of reviews & pick the right one for you.

thanks have you siliconed in your windows? what do you think may be best to do in regards to bracing?

[gardengeordie]

what have people used for shelving the harmony out? thanks :-)

[Bigmallly]

I haven't added any extra bracing to the windows but if you were to silicone them, I would put it in the channel before sliding the panels in. Remember they slide down slots & do not clip in like most GH's. I don't think there is much room for staging so I don't have any.

GG, I don't know what your budget is but for £399 you could have a 6x8 with toughened glass, an automatic opening roof window and a louvre window.

Just a thought!

i have took the plunge and ordered the harmony, i didnt fancy glass with the children just hope it lasts with these winds :-)

I'm sure you'll have no problem with it, while you're awaiting delivery, decide how you are going to mount it & have the materials ready, whether it be breeze blocks, timber or just paving slabs.
