One of the newest models in the extensive Vitavia greenhouse catalog is the Phoenix. It’s a large and very attractive offering, with standard eight-foot widths and a wealth of sizes and options. The recently-added low threshold entrance is one of the nice features of the new Vitavia lines; when added to the quality and attention to detail expected from the company, these glasshouses become a choice which should be at or near the top of any shopper’s list.
Here’s more detail on the Vitavia Phoenix Greenhouse:
Size and Detailing: The smaller sizes of the Phoenix may fit into some larger allotments, but these are primarily greenhouses designed to fit into your home garden or yard. You can choose from 8 x 8, 8 x 10, 8 x 12 or 8 x 14 models, each with eaves of decent-height and plenty of room for all of the plants and flowers you could ever want to grow, as well as space for you to relax and enjoy the view. Ventilation is terrific in these structures with four opening roof vents (although just two vents are included with the 8x8 model); there are also double sliding doors with a low threshold allowing easy entrance with a wheelbarrow or wheelchair, and fully-integrated gutters.
Frames and Base: The Vitavia Phoenix is constructed with no-rust aluminum frames, available in your choice of natural silver finish, powder coated green or powder coated black. There is an integrated base plinth on all sizes of this glasshouse, keeping the structure square and rigid – which is also the reason behind the additional corner and roof bracing which comes standard with the Phoenix. Even though the greenhouse is best placed onto a concrete slab or similar surface, corner posts also are included, allowing you to sink the posts into post holes dug in soft ground, and then cement the structure into place. There is a ten-year warranty on the frames and base.
Glazing: As with all Vitavia greenhouses, you can select from three choices of glazing: standard 3mm horticultural glass, toughened 3mm safety glass, or 6mm twin wall polycarbonate glazing. Your choice should largely depend on where the structure will be placed and who will be near it; the latter two choices are much safer for an area where children will be playing, the polycarbonate provides the highest level of insulation but the lowest level of wind resistance, and the horticultural glazing works for most applications.
Options: Bar capping is a worthwhile add-on to the Phoenix glasshouse, completely securing the glazing into the frame for added stability. If you feel the need for additional ventilation, you can purchase extra roof vents or louvre windows as options, along with devices to automatically open and close them as required. Shelving and staging, downpipe kits and other accessories are also available.
Vitavia Phoenix greenhouses are solid and spacious, easy to configure according to your choice of size, colour and glazing – and moderately priced. When you factor in the nice “options” included as standard like the base plinth and low-threshold entrance, it’s easy to see why the Phoenix has quickly become one of Vitavia’s most popular models.
