Strength
The ability of a greenhouse to withstand high winds is dependent upon the strength of the frame. The Rhino Greenhouse comes with a 25 year frame guarantee because we are confident in it's strength. Robust (heavy 3mm "T" section) braces are fitted to every ridge and eave bar. Rhino's are glazed with 4mm toughened glass (shown to the left is someone weighing 196 lbs standing on the glass used in Rhino Greenhouses). They are also fitted with a heavy duty glazing bar at the rear. To take it one step further, the nuts and bolts are made from High Tensile Aluminum which have twice the strength of standard nuts and bolts found in most aluminum greenhouses.
Height
At 5' 5" to the eaves a Rhino is taller than most greenhouses on the market. At 8' 4" to the ridge a Rhino is by far the tallest in its class ensuring your plants are well away from the hottest part of the greenhouse as well as providing enough height for the hanging basket rail. The door entry height of 6' 5" is taller than any we know of (shown to the left is someone 6' 3" walking into the Rhino Greenhouse).
Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is absolutely crucial to successful growing under glass. You need plenty of roof vents, louvre vents, and automatic openers. The Rhino Greenhouse has two automated triple roof vents and two large seven blade louvres. All the vents work together to allow fresh air to circulate and cool the greenhouse. The autovents are very sensitive to changes in temperature. When a cloud goes overhead they will start to close the roof vents before you are even aware of the temperature drop. The autovents will control the climate far better than you could achieve yourself.
Glazing Bead
A single large pane of 4mm toughened safety glass is used in each side and roof bay, improving appearance (no overlaps to attract the dirt and algae) and making glazing a lot easier too.
Wire clips are replaced by glazing beads running the full length of the glass. The beads not only look far more elegant they include a soft rubber squeegee edge to retain and seal the glass far more effectively.

The glass cannot be blown or sucket out of the frame, pushing on the glass only locks the beads more tightly into the frame (view).
