Description:
The Monticello is proudly made in The USA from start to finish. Constructed from the highest quality extruded aluminum (US grade – not the thinner and more brittle foreign aluminum) and electrostatic ally painted Black (guaranteed to contain 0.0% lead), our greenhouse uses on average more than 70 lbs more aluminum than the average imported greenhouse. Why is this important. The weaker the framework the less snow the greenhouse can hold in the winter time before collapsing on itself also the easier it will be get damages in wind. While most hobby greenhouses on the market use less expensive thinner materials (the clear walls are as thin as .2mm), the Monticello uses professional grade 8mm twin wall polycarbonate. This is the same thickness as used in the commercial greenhouses.The twin wall polycarbonate acts as a double pain window keeping cooler air in during warm months and insulating the greenhouse from cold air in the wintertime. This not only makes the Monticello more efficient to grow in for a longer period of time than other greenhouses but it also adds to the efficiency of growing, cutting down electric bills for those who choose to grow year round. With the average greenhouse on the market today taking a solid weekend to assemble it is easy to see why so many greenhouse owners say that the top issue in the first 2 months of ownership is the actual set-up process. This is one reason why the Monticello has been featured on extreme makeovers Home Edition.
