Palram Canopia Mythos 6ft x 8ft Green Polycarbonate Greenhouse (1.85m x 2.47m)

The Palram Canopia Mythos 6x8 (701551BUN) is an apex-roof polycarbonate greenhouse measuring 1.85m x 2.47m (6ft x 8ft). That gives you just over 4.5 square metres of growing space enough for two grow bags on the floor plus staging along both sides. It's a serious growing structure for a modest garden footprint.

The frame is powder-coated green aluminium sitting on a galvanised-steel perimeter base with anchor holes. The twin-wall polycarbonate panels transmit 82% of light while blocking UV. Wind resistance is rated to 90km/hr and snow load to 75kg/m² this is built to handle a UK winter.

A manually-opened roof vent lets you regulate temperature without any extras. No staging is included but shelves, a trellis kit and a workbench are all available as add-ons. You can realistically grow tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and overwinter tender plants in here.

Completely maintenance free with a 5-year limited warranty. The sliding panel assembly system means pre-cut panels slot straight in. Integrated rain gutters let you connect a water butt for free plant watering. A practical greenhouse that delivers year-round growing in a compact space.

The powder-coated aluminium frame uses a sliding panel system polycarbonate panels slot into extruded channels rather than being screwed in place. This speeds up assembly and reduces stress points in the glazing. The twin-wall polycarbonate is 82% light-transmitting and UV-protected on both faces. The apex roof pitch sheds rain efficiently and the integrated gutters carry water to a butt connection. The galvanised-steel perimeter base is anchor-drilled for fixing to a concrete slab. Wind resistance is rated to 90km/hr and the structure is snow-load tested to 75kg/m².

The frame is powder-coated green aluminium. The perimeter base is galvanised steel. All glazing including the roof is twin-wall polycarbonate high-impact, shatterproof and UV-protected on both faces with 82% light transmission. No timber is used in this structure.

No floor is included. The galvanised-steel perimeter base has anchor holes and must be fixed to a solid level surface a concrete slab or firm paving is ideal. You need to prepare and level the ground yourself before assembly. An anchor kit is available as an optional upgrade.

This greenhouse uses a sliding panel system. Pre-cut polycarbonate panels slot directly into the aluminium frame sections no cutting required. It is a two-person job. All panels come with uniform profiles for straightforward fitting. Instructions and fixings are supplied. Expect a full day to complete the build. Professional installation is available as an add-on if preferred.

The 1.85m x 2.47m floor gives you room for two standard grow bags side by side. That means up to six tomato plants or four pepper plants on the floor alone. Add a staging bench along one side and you gain space for seed trays and pot-grown plants. In spring use it for sowing seeds and hardening off young plants. In summer it handles tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers well. In autumn and winter it protects tender perennials, overwintering citrus and frost-sensitive container plants. The twin-wall polycarbonate retains enough heat to extend the growing season at both ends.

The powder-coated aluminium frame and polycarbonate panels need no painting or treating. Wipe panels down with warm soapy water once or twice a year. Keep the integrated gutters clear of leaves and debris so they drain properly. The manufacturer describes it as completely maintenance free.

At 1.85m wide and 2.47m deep this greenhouse fits into a modest garden corner or along a fence line. Leave at least 600mm clearance on the door side to open it fully. The roof vent opens upward so no side clearance is needed for that. The apex roof keeps the footprint tight while giving 2080mm of headroom at the ridge you get a useful growing volume from a small ground area.
