The Zeus 8x20 Greenhouse in black is the largest greenhouse made by Vitavia with a huge growing area of 15.7m. The huge 6ft 2" eaves height gives growing room for the very biggest plants as well as excellent light transmission through the large long pane float glass panels around the greenhouse. The 10mm polycarbonate roof minimises heat loss, reduces condensation and provides protection from harmful u/v rays that can scorch your plants. The lockable Stable Door gives good security and an extra ventilation option as you can leave the top of the door open to ventilate the greenhouse in hot weather.
This black Vitavia Zeus 8x20 has 2 opening roof vents for ventilation, a lockable stable door and integral gutters.
Float glass is 4mm thick and has perfect clarity, it is commonly used in modern windows.
