The Juliana Compact greenhouse line is properly named; they’re relatively small and should fit nicely in just about any garden or allotment. That doesn’t mean that they’re not packed with terrific features, though; the Juliana Compact comes with many built-ins which either aren’t available or cost extra from competitors. They also have an elegant and sophisticated look unusual in “hobbyist” greenhouses.
Here are the most notable features of the Juliana Compact.
Size and Detailing: Unlike most home greenhouses, the Compact’s standard width is 7 feet rather than 6 feet. That makes the three available sizes of this glasshouse 7 x 5, 7 x 7, and 7 x 9 – not big enough to house an enormous year-round crop, but suitable for most people’s needs. There is one roof vent in the smallest Compact, and two vents in the larger models. Wide, easily-cleanable gutters are standard on all of the greenhouses, as are large 40mm downpipes and a stable door with a low threshold and a rust-proof, lockable handle.
Frames and Base: The aluminum frames of the Juliana Compact are available in two colour schemes: aluminum and black, or anthracite grey and black. However, all of the windows, doors and fittings are in black no matter which frame colours you choose. A lot of care has obviously gone into the design of this greenhouse, assuring both perfect function and appearance: the plastic caps fitting the glazing to the frame, the attractive grooves in the profiles, the roof ridge with finials sealing the profiles and adding to the appearance, and the branded front triangular plate which further stabilizes the structure and provides the finishing touch to the regal look of the Compact. A black steel base is also standard on all models, with fitted corner covers to hide the base joints.
Glazing: Juliana offers two glazing alternatives for all Compact greenhouses. You can either choose 3mm toughened safety glass which will break into tiny pieces instead of dangerous shards if broken, or extra-thick 6mm unbreakable polycarbonate glazing which provides extra insulation for the plants and flowers inside. The “usual” horticultural glass which is standard with most greenhouses is not available for the Compact.
Options: Before listing the options you’d expect to be available for the Juliana Compact, we have to mention one that’s most unusual: distinctive black plastic cresting which simply slips into the ridge bar and makes the Compact stand out from every other brand. It also can stop birds from perching on the roof and making a mess of the greenhouse. The other available add-ons focus on staging and shelving. There’s an integrated black workstation which attaches right to the structure’s profiles and fits in perfectly with the look of the greenhouse. Similarly, integrated black aluminum shelves are available to match the Compact’s design.
Juliana greenhouses have been well-known for many years as one of the highest-quality home glasshouses available, and their newer Compact line fits right into that company profile. Juliana makes the only aluminum greenhouses which are endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, and after taking a look at the Compact, it’s easy to see why.
