Palram Canopia Rion White Sun Room Wall Greenhouse 6ft x 8ft (1.8m x 2.4m)

The Palram Canopia Rion White Sun Room Wall Greenhouse (702483) is a 6ft x 8ft (1.8m x 2.4m) pent-roof structure that works as a greenhouse, sun room or conservatory. With a base footprint of 1960mm x 2600mm it delivers a solid growing and relaxing space without swallowing a small garden whole.

The thick white resin frame has central profiles reinforced with galvanised steel rods making it shatterproof, fracture-proof and rust-resistant. The roof uses 4mm twin-wall polycarbonate panels with 82% light transmission and the sides use crystal-clear 3mm polycarbonate with 90% light transmission. Both are fully UV-protected and won't discolour. Wind resistance is rated to 90km/hr and snow load tested to 75kg/m².

A manually operated opening roof vent lets you regulate temperature without automation. The door can be positioned at either end of the structure. No staging is included but the floor space suits two standard grow bags side by side. Tomatoes, peppers and tender plants all thrive here year-round.

A 7-year limited warranty backs the structure and the sliding panel assembly system makes installation straightforward. No floor is included so a solid level base is required before building starts.

The resin frame uses galvanised steel rods through the central profiles to add rigidity without adding weight. Resin does not rust, rot or corrode which removes the maintenance burden of timber or metal frames. The pent roof sits at a pitch that sheds rainwater efficiently and the 4mm twin-wall polycarbonate roof traps a layer of air between its two skins to improve thermal insulation. Side panels are 3mm single-skin polycarbonate giving 90% light transmission. All panels are UV-protected to prevent yellowing. The structure is wind tested to 90km/hr and snow-load tested to 75kg/m² giving it real-world weather resistance for UK conditions.

The frame is white resin with galvanised steel rod reinforcement through the central profiles plus additional aluminium profiles for panel fixing. The roof uses 4mm twin-wall polycarbonate panels. The side walls use 3mm single-skin polycarbonate. All panels are UV-protected. No timber or glass is used anywhere in the structure.

No floor is included with this greenhouse. It must be fixed to a solid level base before assembly starts. A concrete slab or firm paved area is the right choice. You will need to prepare and level the ground yourself before building. A base is not supplied with the product.

This greenhouse uses a sliding panel system where polycarbonate panels slot into aluminium profiles. The method is designed for DIY assembly without specialist tools. It is sensible to have two people for lifting and aligning panels. Specific assembly time is not stated by the manufacturer. Full instructions should be supplied with the kit. Professional installation is available through the merchant if you prefer not to self-build.

The 1.96m x 2.60m floor fits two standard grow bags side by side with room to move. That gives you space for six tomato plants or four pepper plants in bags on the floor. The 90% light transmission side panels and 82% roof transmission support strong plant growth. In spring use the floor space for seed trays and module cells. In summer switch to tomatoes, cucumbers or chillies. In winter the twin-wall roof holds heat well enough to overwinter tender plants like pelargoniums and citrus if you add the optional fan heater.

The resin frame is completely maintenance free and needs no painting, staining or annual treatment. Clean polycarbonate panels with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to keep light transmission high. Check the roof vent opens and closes freely each season. No gutters are specified for this model. Maintaining cleanliness of panels will help plants get maximum light year-round.

At 2.60m wide and 1.96m deep this fits into a modest garden without dominating it. Site it against a house wall or boundary fence using the lean-to pent roof to shed rain away cleanly. Leave at least 600mm clearance on the door end for the door to open fully. The door can be placed at either end which helps when space on one side is tight. The full floor area is usable growing space with no internal posts to work around.
