Materials, Frame & Glazing

As the standard goes with metal-framed greenhouses, the Bella range is no different. Rigid aluminium poles make up the framework, which is resistant to rust and corrosion meaning that it’s made to last with virtually zero maintenance or upkeep.

The shape of the frame is designed to withstand harsher levels of wind and snow, making it easier for snow to slide off the roof instead of compacting on top, which could cause risk of it caving in.

The glazing is made from polycarbonate, a highly tough material which Palram classes as being “virtually unbreakable”, making it ideal for those who have children or pets playing in the garden. As polycarbonate is made from plastic and not real glass, it offers high resistance to impact. However, if it were to ever break it would safely snap, rather than shatter into smaller dangerous shards and pieces as such with generic horticultural glass.

Each glazing panel is twin-walled, offer increased insulation and providing an air pocket in between the two walls for hot air to stay trapped in, helping to keep the natural heat from the sun inside your greenhouse for longer - improving the growing potential of your plants and crops inside.

As well as keeping the heat in, it’s also good at keeping bad things out. As such with harmful UV rays from the sun, which are filtered out and stopped from passing through to your plants leaves. Although, 80% of natural light is still able to shine in, offering the best of both worlds by blocking out the bad and letting in the good.
