The Sun Country Greenhouse Company manufactures one style of hobby greenhouse kit, a freestanding span-roof with continuous roof vents. Made in Canada, the  environmentally friendly cedar A-frame is designed to handle heavy snow or wind loads and the 9' peak and 54" eaves allows plenty of head room. The steep 12 /12 pitch helps funnel hot air upwards through the vents. As well a removable rear window (insert an exhaust fan) increases air flow and provides additional cooling on hot days. Inside the greenhouse it is wide open, there are no vertical support posts to get in the way. On each side there's room for a 30" wide bench and a 36" walkway. All Sun Country Greenhouse kits come with a pressure treated foundation free of charge.

All greenhouse kits are constructed in our shop from Canadian Western Red Cedar 4x4's and 2x4's. Each piece of lumber is planed, sanded and is ready for staining perhaps to match a deck, fence or the siding on your home. 

The Sun Country Greenhouse is not only attractive it's durable, withstanding hurricane (Isabel) force winds of 85 mph! (see testimonial). The side walls and roof sections are one piece (i.e. 16') not several sections connected together. The structural integrity of the Sun Country Greenhouse kit is second to none no matter what the price. See testimonials

Our greenhouse kits are handcrafted to provide you with many years of gardening pleasure. Begin your growing season in early spring and extend it into late autumn. Add a heater and use it all year round. You can also use the greenhouse for a storage shed in winter or a hot tub enclosure. The Sun Country Greenhouse kit is portable and suitable for any climate. You can find our cedar greenhouses all over the U.S. and Canada even up in Alaska.

Hail resistant G.E. Lexan Corrugated  polycarbonate panels ensure light transmission of 90% and comes with a 10 year warranty against yellowing. It is one of the strongest greenhouse coverings on the market. G.E. Lexan Thermoclear  twin wall polycarbonate panels allow 80% light transmission and the trapped air between the walls add insulation value. Many commercial greenhouses use the corrugated on the roof and dual wall for the side and end walls. Watch greenhouse videos of our corrugated covered kit and twin wall kit.

Our greenhouses are easy to assemble. They come in 6 sections; 2 side walls, 2 end walls (door is already hung) and 2 roof sections (vents are in place). You simply connect the 2 roof sections and place them on the side walls and rear end wall, then slide the front wall into place. Bolt and screw everything together and there you have it in less than 3 hours! Of course you need to prepare the site before hand.

Whether you build from plans or buy a kit you need to make an informed decision on various styles/frames and coverings. Getting started will assist you in this process. For links relating to greenhouses click here to read about the history of greenhouses click here

  • Advantages of Lexan Corrugated (90% light transmission). If you live in a climate that has moderate winters (with lots of snow) and/or stormy summers with hurricanes, T-storms and large hail then you may want to consider Lexan Corrugated to cover your greenhouse. With the 12/12 pitch of the roof, snow and debris will not accumulate. The corrugated panels diffuse sunlight so your plants won't burn and have excellent insulating properties for a single wall covering, much better than acrylic or fiberglass. We feel using Lexan Corrugated for the roof (like some commercial greenhouses) makes the structure nearly indestructible. Broken branches, hail, and other flying debris will not damage it.

  • Advantages of 6mm / 8mm Lexan Thermoclear ( 80% light transmission). For the year round gardener. The 8mm twin-wall is very strong and has excellent insulating properties. We do not recommend 4mm for roof applications.

  • Greenhouse Kits w/ Lexan Corrugated roof & Thermoclear side and end walls available, contact us for a quote.

  • * We manufacture the cedar doors to meet our standards.

  • ** You will only need the 3 helpers to lift the assembled roof onto the side walls.

  • *** Each window (ie.38 on a 16' kit) is a sealed unit. The twin-wall ends are sealed with aluminum tape and set in G.E. Silicone II inside the slotted cedar frame.

  • Note: The Lexan panels are all pre-installed, no cutting, drilling or assembly is required.

  • We no longer have brochures printed please bookmark or print our on line brochure
