We
were introduced to corrugated plastic in 1986. University tests showed
that the flutes in the plastic diffuse the light and capture it from various
angles, thus accelerating the growth of plants. From there, with our backgrounds
in biology and plant science, we set out to design an affordable greenhouse
for home gardeners.
We wanted an environmentally friendly greenhouse, that was lightweight,
inexpensive, easy to ship anywhere in the USA, and accessible to various
civic and educational programs. We have developed an extensive educational
program - from grade school through college-age students! We also work
with FFA clubs, Master Gardener Organizations, disabled citizens, and
assisted living caregivers.
We
continually work on ways to improve our products and look forward
to hearing from you. Our staff is dedicated to providing you with high
quality products and service to enable you to spend more leisure time
growing and propagating prized plants in your hobby greenhouse.
With eight models to choose from, you're bound to find a Farm
Wholesale Greenhouse suited to your specific site, growing and gardening
needs.
Four
models share basic structural characteristics:
- The Garden Oasis Greenhouse
is our most popular greenhouse. With four 8' bench frames in the Oasis
model you get about 76sq. ft. of bench area in the basic 8' x 8' unit.
The 6'5" door height provides plenty of headroom for the taller gardener.
- Our Early Bloomer Greenhouses
are popular, functional, and affordable. A pair of overhead hanging rods provide ample space for all your
hanging plants. The 6'3" height of the greenhouse allows the hanging
rods to be easily accessible. The roomy interior makes a perfect place to overwinter your plants.
- The Harvester Greenhouse
is designed to hug the side of your house, hedge, garage, sit easily
on deck, or stand alone on a stable foundation. The Harvester provides
the best of both worlds: a single bench frame for easy work-space or
taller plants and a double-decker bench frame for growing space. Perfect
for use on a deck or patio, all Lean-To models are completely enclosed
for maximum strength, insulation, and solar heat collection.
- The Conservatory
Greenhouse is perfect for the business-minded gardener! The
storage and workspace available in this model is great for the beginning
commercial operation. These spacious greenhouses give you the most growing
area. Conservatory greenhouses feature two single level side benches
and a large 5' wide, double-decker, central bench unit.
- The Solexx Garden Master Greenhouse
with 6'6" outer walls and a gable that peaks at 8'9", has ample room to trellis plants
like cucumber, cantaloupe and tomatoes. When you complete your Garden Master Greenhouse, you
will be amazed at how much room you have to nurture and grow all your favorite flowers,
herbs and vegetables. Like all Solexx greenhouses, the Gold Garden Master is freestanding
and requires no special foundation or site preparation, just level the ground beneath it.
Three
models are designed for those that have limited space:
- The Deluxe Cold Frame
is perfect for starting seedlings in the spring, acclimating greenhouse-grown
plants before transplanting them into the garden, or holding off the
winter frost a little longer. Farm Wholesale's Deluxe Cold Frame gives
you all the benefits of our greenhouses in a portable, convenient unit.
Larger than most cold frames, the Deluxe Cold Frame is 8' long, 6' wide,
and 31" high, providing ample storage space for those prized summer
plants that you cannot bear to let wither away with the gray winter
ahead.
- The Gable Cold Frame Featuring
Heavy-Duty 1 ½" PVC Pipe. You cut the pipe to custom tailor the height
(up to 38") and the length (up to 96"). Vertical side walls maximize
your growing area. Optional wood frame available (wood not
included).
A combination of our uniquely designed PVC and composite frame with
double-walled corrugated plastic panels creates a durable structure that
withstands heavy snows and strong winds. The exterior 3.5 mm corrugated
panels fill the greenhouse with soft diffused light, ideal for plant growth.
For a higher insulation factor and softer light you can choose the 5.0
mm paneling for your greenhouse at an additional charge. White galvanized
screws with neoprene washers make it easy to attach the lightweight, flexible,
corrugated panels to the frame.
The
interior is designed to be an integral part of the structure. Base
frames, bench frames, and hanging rods are reinforced for stability
and strength. Hanging rods are designed to suspend over 200 lbs. each.
Each bench frame supports over 500 lbs of equal weight distribution.
Kits include pre-cut, color-coded PVC framing, along with a large
vent on the back wall, two hanging rods, and bench frames. The door assembly,
included in each kit, can be positioned to open on the left or right side.
Want to enjoy a relaxing lifestyle change? When you purchase a
Farm Wholesale Greenhouse, you get more than you pay for! The corrugated
panels provide a diffused light that enables a relaxing lifestyle change
for many gardeners. The greenhouses allow gardeners to grow specialized
varieties of flowers, herbs, or vegetables that are not always available
at the local garden center. As your garden grows so can your greenhouse
by adding an 8' extension.
Solexx corrugated plastic greenhouse panels set Farm Wholesale
Greenhouses apart from other hobby greenhouses on the market today.
The greenhouse panels are strong, durable, and lightweight with many useful applications.
Purchase the panels separately and create your own cold frame, mini propagation
chamber, or custom designed greenhouse.
The
translucent panels transmit 70-75% soft diffused light, encouraging
lush green plant growth. The strength of the corrugates provides maximum
wind and snow protection. The trapped air space in the panels provides
optimal solar heat collection so your greenhouse stays insulated and protects your plants from the cold.
Solexx double-walled high density polyethylene panels are mildew, water,
and chemical resistant and they will not yellow. A double ultraviolet
treatment filters out harmful rays and extends the panel life. All paneling
has a 6 year limited warranty against ultraviolet breakdown. Panels measure
8' 1" x 4' 1" and 12' 3" x 4' 1" and are available in 3.5 mm and 5.0 mm
thickness. The 5.0 mm panels are more rigid and provide a slightly higher
insulation factor. The panels, like most plastics, expand and contract
depending on the temperature. (We have made our panels oversized to enable
you to overlap the sides and ends and still work on 2' centers). This
is done for your convenience and to add strength to your greenhouse.
Custom finish H-Channel and U-Trim edging trim used with our corrugated
plastic panels provide a great finishing touch. Snug-fitting H-Channel
securely joins panels together, while U-Trim edging traps air in the flutes
and keeps dirt and moisture out when sealed with silicone caulking.
