How does the greenhouse ship to me?

At this time, we do not ship to the USA.

Where are the Palram greenhouses made ?
All Palram products are made in Israel.
How strong is a Palram greenhouse?
Europe's standards are higher than those in the US, and the TUV Europe testing lab which is equivalent to UL has tested the product and certified it as being strong and safe. We have a photo of a Palram greenhouse buried under 23 inches of snow. The incredible strength of the greenhouse comes from its excellent engineering and the high quality of plastics and aluminum used.
How much wind can the Palram greenhouse withstand?
Much depends on the location and what sort of wind velocity your region can get. We do know from customers that the units have withstood wind gusts of up to 80 mph winds without damage. Even in very bad windstorms, the worst that can happen to your greenhouse is that some of the polycarbonate panels are blown out which are very easy to replace.
What is their snow load capacity?
The load capacity is roughly 50 lbs per square metre. We have seen them with as much as 23" of snow. Never the less, we do recommend that you brush the snow off the roof whenever it gets over a foot.
Where should I locate my greenhouse?
The selection of a site involves taking into consideration three importantly factors: 1) the most desirable location should be shaded by deciduous tree(s) or lacking shade draped with an external shade cloth over the greenhouse which is attached to the foundation; 2) the site should also be sheltered from the wind by a tree(s) or some other barrier; 3) the site should be level and allow for good drainage.
How do I secure the greenhouse?
The greenhouse should ideally be attached to some sort of foundation, in order to keep it secure, and it should be preferably something heavy/solid. Most popular is cement pad, or wooden railway ties as a perimeter base.
