Our verdict on the 6×10 Palram Canopia Harmony Polycarbonate Green Greenhouse

The 6×10 Palram Canopia Harmony Polycarbonate Green Greenhouse comes with an apex style roof, holds a 5 Years guarantee, is fit with lockable single doors that use a latch locking system, and is treated using a uv protected process [1]. The windows window used on this particular 6′ x 10′ use a polycarbonate [2] glazing material (Thickness was not specified).

Base material: polycarbonate [3]

Our experts say this has 4 stand out features. A stand out feature is something found on over 70% of the top 10% of products in a particular category or is an exceptionally good feature as rated by our panel of experts.

1. The polycarbonate construction like the one used on the roof of this greenhouse is rated one of the best by our panel of experts.

2. The polycarbonate roof covering found on this greenhouse is rated to be one of the best by our experts.

3. This polycarbonate glazing material is one that our experts say is one of the best available for windowed greenhouses.

4. A uv protected treatment like the one used on this greenhouse is one our experts are happy to say is one of the best around.

Below is a brief overview of how some of the key points of this greenhouse fairs across the market.

Treatment/Guarantee

The uv protected treatment process used here is one of the best types of treatment out of 2 [4] types we’ve identified on same-size greenhouses that you’ll see getting used on 4% [5] (34 of 787) of all greenhouses analysed, as well as being used on 32% [6] (25 of 78) of the top 10% of greenhouses. You’ll also find the uv protected treatment showing up on 9% of 6′ x 10′ greenhouses (7 in total [7]), and when taking the average Expert Score of those 6′ x 10′ greenhouses (85), the 6×10 Palram Canopia Harmony Polycarbonate Green Greenhouse is the same with an Expert Score of 85.

On a plastic greenhouse, the guarantee that the manufacturer offers is usually a very good indicator of the quality of the building. The longer the guarantee the more the manufacturer believes in the quality of the building they have produced. Typically we see manufacturer guarantees for plastic Greenhouses ranging from zero right up to a 15 years guarantee.

This plastic greenhouse comes with a 5 years guarantee. Most plastic greenhouse come with a 5 years guarantee (52.56% of them) [8].

For this particular brand (Palram Canopia) they offer 6 [9] different types of guarantees on their plastic greenhouses, with the 5 years guarantee on this being the shortest they offer. The 5 years guarantee is found on 82.76% of Palram Canopia plastic greenhouses [10], with a 7 year guarantee on 6.90% and a 10 year guarantee on 10.34% of its plastic greenhouses. It is a shame this greenhouse was given the lowest guarantee offered by the brand, and this could be a reasonable indication that the manufacturer doesn’t have as much faith it the overall quality of this part of their product range.

When looking at comparable 6′ x 10′ plastic greenhouses (we found 75 of them) the most popular guarantee length offered by manufacturers was 5 years [11]. 53.33% came with a missing guarantee, 20.00% came with a 5 year guarantee, 12.00% came with a 10 year guarantee, 6.67% came with a 12 year guarantee, 4.00% came with a 15 year guarantee, 2.67% came with a 1 year guarantee and 1.33% came with a 7 year guarantee.

Cladding

The polycarbonate cladding(walls) used here is an about average form of construction for greenhouse walls out of the 2 types [12] we’ve identified on same-size greenhouses, that you’ll also see getting used on 9% (69 of 787) of all greenhouses analysed [13], as well as being used on 27% (21 of 78) of the top 10% of greenhouses [14]. You’ll also find the polycarbonate cladding showing up on 20% of 6′ x 10′ greenhouses (15 in total) [15], and if we compare this item against those 15 we find it’s Expert Score is 9% higher than the average score for a 6′ x 10′ polycarbonate greenhouse.

It’s used on 1% of all greenhouses and 10% of the top 10% of greenhouses. 3% of 6′ x 10′ greenhouses (2 in total) use a 1.0mm thick roof material, and when taking the average Expert Score of those 6′ x 10′ greenhouses (85), the 6×10 Palram Canopia Harmony Polycarbonate Green Greenhouse is the same with an Expert Score of 85.

Public-Facing – Extra security measures might be more of a concern if you’re placing your building in an area that is more public-facing than a garden. Features such as security windows or even having no windows at all, and the ability to lock all opening doors are usually much more important when you have something that is more public-facing. We found at least 3 greenhouses that have options that you might find a better fit if this is a concern you have.

1. UV treated: The British Plastics Federation says that the addition of light stabilisers (they are called hindered amine light stabilisers (HALS)) in plastics are used “to inhibit the reactions in plastics which cause undesirable chemical degradation from exposure to UV light.” This chemical degradation from exposure to UV light is often seen as chalking or a white residue that forms as the polymers degrade over time. This degradation can often be avoided by adding HALS that are UV absorbers such as benzotriazoles, benzophenones or organic nickel compounds. By incorporating weathering stabilisers into the plastics used the damaging effects of UV light will be slowed down considerably. 

2. Polycarbonate: Is one of the toughest plastics available. The excellent toughness and thermal stability make Polycarbonate one of the most widely used thermoplastics. This durability makes this ideal for garden equipment and extremely durable plastic garden structure. Polycarbonate is also used for things such as riot shields, vandal proof glazing, safety helmets and headlamp lenses.

According to data from the British Plastics Fedaration the physical properties of Polycarbonate are that it is very good when exposed to high heat with a maximum continuous use temperature of 125 °C. This is coupled with the outstanding Notched Impact Strength data of 60 – 80 Kj/m².
