Solite
The Solite greenhouse features slanted side walls to optimize solar gain. A low base wall maximizes the amount of light coming in to provide more options for multi-level growing, and even in-ground propagation. Available in a variety of lengths, as lean-to, attached or freestanding.
Widths Offered: 8′, 11′

Consider placing the 8’ wide model on an 18″ high base wall to gain vertical growing space and allow for standard 6′-6″H door.
