One of our most popular greenhouses, the Traditional is also the easiest to build. Assembly is simple and intuitive, with nothing to cut, drill, or bend.

With sidewalls at 5'-7" high, there is plenty of headroom inside. The roof slope is lower to reduce heating costs in winter, but steep enough for snow to slide off whenever the greenhouse is heated by the sun. The eaves are designed to accept gutters if you want to collect rainwater for your plants. This modular system is easy to customize, and sections can be added later to extend the length.

  • Our most popular greenhouse design since the 1950’s - ideal for the backyard
  • Classic straight eave greenhouse kit provides maximum natural light year-round
  • Maximizes the most available floor space

  • Minimizes heating costs due to the reduced volume and lower pitch of the roof

Slope:  5/12, Pitch 23 degrees
Standard Eave Height is 5' 7"

Dealer Specials on separate web pages:  8x8 Legacy and 8x8 Sunhaven
