Product Description

The Grandio Summit 12x8 is Grandio's largest and tallest greenhouse, with a 12-foot width, cross roof trusses, corner bracing and a lockable double sliding door. It gives you 96 square feet of growing space under a 9' 3" peak, on a powder-coated aluminum frame glazed with 10mm twin-wall polycarbonate, which diffuses sunlight and holds heat better than single-wall glazing. The kit comes with 4 roof vents, built-in rain gutters, drain kit (4 downspouts) and extreme snow load kit, and Grandio includes the assembly tools.

Manufacturer warranty

Grandio lists a lifetime warranty on the aluminum frame and a 15-year warranty on the polycarbonate panels, covering manufacturer defects. Assembly questions and missing or damaged parts are handled directly by Grandio's support team, and we'll help connect you.

Before you build

Pick a level, well-drained spot with at least six hours of direct sun, and check local building codes, permit rules and HOA requirements before you start. The greenhouse must be anchored to its foundation to reach its rated wind and snow performance. Assembly goes much faster with a second person.
