Santa Barbara Greenhouses???

Posted by evisha NY (My Page) on

Hi all - I'm a newbie getting ready to buy my first greenhouse for use here in New York City. I kind of like the Santa Barbara greenhouses but don't see much about them in my web searches. Anyone have any opinions about their redwood GHs versus Sunshine, for example? What about their Montecito model? I'm looking for a 6x12 or 7x12 size. Esthetically I love redwood, but am open-minded......

Also does anyone in my area have an opinion about paneling? I see that a lot of GHs have 4 mm double and others have 6 mm. Is there a big difference in the winter?

Thanks -

RE: Santa Barbara Greenhouses???

I have a Santa Barbara 7 X 8' "Standard" with the corrugated paneling.
Remarkably indestructable !!
I've moved it 5 times (dis/reassembling). It has even blown over in a wind storm and half collapsed (it was empty).....but I was able to replace some bent bolts, and presto!...back in shape !!

I cannot compare it to others, but it has served me well.
It came truck-shipped in two large/flat/heavy boxes, and an electric (battery) screwdriver is recommended to attach the fiberglass paneling. But after initial set-up, it will disassemble into 4 walls, 2 roof panels, and two bench shelves.
