Solexx Greenhouse Review
SOLEXX greenhouses – why we Love ’em (you will too…)
Solexx™ is a unique double-walled plastic greenhouse covering manufactured by Adaptive Plastics, Inc. Not only does it provide optimum insulation, but its unique formulation and structure also takes direct sunlight and diffuses it into a bright, soft, even glow inside the greenhouse.
This feature prevents shadows and hotspots and accelerates plant growth by up to 30%.
- made in the USA
- surprisingly strong and resistant to blows, hail, wind, and heavy snow
- resistant to scratching, tearing, and breaking
- UV treated for long life under the sun, without fading or yellowing
- warranted for 10 years, but often last up to 20 years
- lab-test has proven superior insulation over double or triple wall polycarbonate, double or single pane glass, and poly film
- low maintenance-easy to keep clean
- replacement paneling is inexpensive, readily available, and easy to install
Since Solexx panels provide superior insulation, they hold in heat better and minimize supplemental heating costs. You need to take this into account when evaluating the pros and cons of different greenhouse coverings.
All of these reasons are why we believe Solexx panels are the best greenhouse covering buy for your buck
But what about the structure… the framework?
Solexx greenhouse framework
Solexx greenhouse kits utilize special tubing for support framing members. They are made from a superstrong composite material reinforced with fiberglass. This makes them strong as steel yet flexible and rustproof.
Wood or metal frames cast shadows into the greenhouse; Solexx frames are white and reflect light just as the glazing panels do. They will never rust like metal frames; rot or absorb water or bacteria like wood frames.
The kits also come with built-in bench frames, which further reinforce the entire structure:
We offer wire bench shelves in our Deluxe Kits which custom-fit on these frames perfectly for your model, or you can build your own plant shelves to sit on the frames.
Cast metal connectors hold everything together and are easy to secure in place.
Just watch this video to see how simple it is to put one of these babies together.

Early bloomer greenhouse
The Early Bloomer is a great starter greenhouse. Although a compact 8’x8′, it has an open floor plan which is perfect for over-wintering large and tall potted plants.
This compact but prolific greenhouse is perfect if you want to try out the greenhouse experience without spending a bundle. It does not come with built-in shelving racks and is not very tall.
But it does have lots of room for plants. Good for a seedling nursery, or overwintering houseplants, and other temporary chores.
I would not recommend this kit for a permanent hydroponic or survival greenhouse. For that, I would prefer any one of the other Solexx greenhouse models.
The Early Bloomer Greenhouse – #G-108 $1,350.00
8′ L x 8′ W x 6’3″ H Kit includes: easy assemble fittings, Solexx panels, large 19″ x 30″ vent assembly, 2 steel-reinforced hanging rods Recommended, but optional accessories for the Early Bloomer (order below)

Gardeners oasis greenhouse
This is the best-selling model we offer. Available in 8’x8′ or 8’x12′ models, the roof is 8 foot high, making for lots of shelving space and plenty of room for lots of plants. Probably your best bet.
There’s room for lots of plants!
This is our most popular greenhouse kit. Lots of room and built-in shelf supports. The Oasis is a great all-around greenhouse.
Although the 8×8′ model is “doable” for hydroponics, I highly recommend the 8×12′ model. The number one complaint of most greenhouse owners is they didn’t get one big enough.

Garden master greenhouse
This model is shaped a little differently… The European A-frame style allows ample headroom (8’9″ at the peak) for tall plants or trellising cucumbers and tomatoes. This also comes in 2 sizes: 8’x8′ or 8’x12′. Four large bench frames provide an amazing amount of growing space.
The Garden Master Kit also provides plenty of room and built-in shelf supports. It’s a great all-around greenhouse with added headroom, perfect for hanging plants or vining vegetable crops.
Although the 8×8′ model is “doable” for hydroponics, I highly recommend the 8×12′ model. The number 1 complaint of most greenhouse owners is they didn’t get one big enough.

Conservatory greenhouses
Now we are getting into serious, substantial greenhouses. These models are 16′ wide and as long as 20′.
If you are a serious gardener or small commercial grower, desiring a permanent house for all your needs, including hydroponics or a survival greenhouse, then the Conservatory is for you.
These spacious Solexx greenhouses are our tallest (9’6″) and widest models. These greenhouses are perfect for schools, serious gardeners, and small commercial growers.
All kits are 16′ wide: you can order them 8′, 16′ or 20′ long, and they come with either 2 or 4 doors. This would make a fantastic greenhouse if you need space and can afford it.

WWSD (What Would Simon Do?)
If you are planning a hydroponics setup or any substantial garden inside the greenhouse, 8′ x 8′ just won’t get it. I would suggest 8’x12′ minimum.
A really nice greenhouse package would include:
* 8’x12′ Gardeners Oasis greenhouse
* 6 tiedown anchors (essential)
* 6 base vents (essential)
* Solar louver vent opener (highly desirable)
* 4 custom-fit wire side bench shelves + 2 back shelves
Guess what? Our Garden Master Deluxe Bundle Package (#G-212D above) includes all accessories listed here at no extra cost. :<)
Update! Our long-promised and eagerly-awaited DIY Greenhouse e-book is ready!

Tie-down kit – essential
Keep your greenhouse safe in a strong wind with this easy-to-install kit. Bury the 14 1/2″ tie-down anchors next to your greenhouse and attach to the greenhouse frame. Turnbuckles connect the frame to the anchor.
Disconnects easily if you want to move your greenhouse. Order the 30″ anchors for Conservatory greenhouses or very sandy soil.
