Riga IIS 7.67 ft. W x 7 ft. D Greenhouse

We love our Riga and use it all year round. We are in Santa Ynez, CA. and load it up for the winter to protect all of our succulents and frost sensitive potted plants. In the summer, we put shade cloth over it and it becomes a playroom for our grandson and a alfresco dinning room at night.

The greenhouse arrived with all parts clearly labeled for installation. With two of us, it was erected easily and quickly. I’ve been using it to grow my summer and winter seeds successfully. And it has been a perfect place to overwinter my potted fuchsias. Plus it looks very sharp in the garden!

We looked for two years for the perfect greenhouse. We choose the Riga V because of the excellent ventilation, and it's proven to be top-notch!! We thought we'd have to empty the greenhouse by August becaues of the heat but due to the four roof vents, large back window and the dutch door, we didn't have to! And we haven't even put in the fan yet! As a result of the incredible ventilation, we had a full greenhouse and full garden all season long! It was awesome! We're doing the same thing this year. Right now we have blueberries, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, lettuce, Kale, potatoes, brocolli and strawberries that we're harvesting out of the greenhouse. This was the best purchase we ever made! We are having so much fun with it. The design is fabulous!! We're so pleased with the Riga V and highly recommend it!

This is a major piece of fine equipment. I spent a lot of time reading and researching various greenhouses and this one seemed to have a number of details well thought out. It is so well made that if you pay attention to the directions it goes together perfectly. We have installed it on a concrete driveway and it stayed pretty warm through a cold Utah winter with 2 minor little heaters. We live in an extremely windy place and the special safety wires for the vents have held up well. We even installed an extra one for the open door. The space is great and we even built a feral cat shelter into the back left corner!

Upstate NY has long hard winters, but this Christmas (2016) it hit 96 degrees in my greenhouse and the tropical plants are loving it. The shape seems to shed the snow really well and it has enough height for most plants. I used 1/2 inch pipe insulation over the aluminum arches to minimize the condensation, I keep the humidity high for the plants. A gas furnace keeps it warm (65 degrees F) and a 1 KW grow light helps with the dark snowy days. If we're not out there I leave a portable heater's pilot light on to keep the carbon dioxide levels from dropping too low, there is only about 1 air exchange per hour (it seals well) and the plants need a little more carbon dioxide of optimal growth. The optional aluminum foundation worked well, and the floor is decorative stones in a plastic grid material that makes the stones very stable to walk on. The kits directions were good but don't under estimate the other work like leveling the site and bringing in gas, water, and electric. Exaco was very good about taking care of some minor parts issues with this complex kit. It is now a tropical paradise with bananas, papayas, plumeria, coffee, tea, avocado, cinnamon, orange, lime, guava, figs, Hawaiian tree fern and lots of orchids. We're very happy with it and everyone says it looks good.
