A Deep Dive into Why Polycarbonate Greenhouses Has Become the Most Popular in the USA in Recent Years

In recent years home gardeners and commercial gardeners alike have started moving towards Polycarbonate Greenhouses.

We've heard stories from all kinds of customers who have told us why they switched from plastic sheet greenhouses to polycarbonate ones.

We've seen comparisons like these ones -

What's the magic behind these greenhouses that's making everyone buy and use them?
Let's talk about it.

1. Much Stronger than Plastic

Polycarbonate panels are extremely durable as compared to normal plastic sheets.

Made from polymerizing monomers and then compressed to create a strong material that is also used in bulletproof glasses.

Hence, it's safe to say it won't break from normal impacts or wear & tear for a long time (Up to 20 years to be precise!).

2. No-Maintenance Required

Plastic sheets must be replaced every couple of years to maintain a healthy greenhouse environment.

That's not the case for the people who use Polycarbonate panels.

Polycarbonate panels require 0 maintenance on their own, and even external damage can be fixed easily if there is any.

3. Protection From UV Rays

UV Rays from the Sun lead to crisped-up plants or faded furniture if you're using plastic sheets.

However, polycarbonate sheets are layered to reflect and trap most of the UV Rays that come from the outside.

This means you can say goodbye to crispy plants and faded furniture!

4. Weather resistant

Polycarbonate greenhouses can withstand nasty winds and a snow load up to 3 feet with ease.

That can't be said for common greenhouses that end up like this after a heavy snow season:

5. Lightweight

Weight is also a very important factor - for example greenhouses that use glass panels are way more heavier and require a stronger (that means expensive) frame.
That just beats the purpose of using glass, doesn't it?

Polycarbonate panels are extremely durable yet lightweight.

Allowing you to place them wherever you want to and leave room for future adjustments.
And that's not all.

Polycarbonate panels help trap temperature inside to keep the greenhouse nice and warm.
Their color doesn't fade away so they look vibrant over the years.
They're also flame-resistant and overall super safe.

Now it isn't tough to understand why these greenhouses have so quickly become the favourite of gardeners around the world!

Overall a very well made. A few things could be improved with assembly instructions. However, it can still be assembled by an average handyman.
