Questions and Answers for Exaco Riga 9 ft. 8 in. x 17 ft. 2 in. German Hobby Greenhouse

A:  The RIGA 5 will do fine as long as you do not let several feet of snow sit on the whole greenhouse for a long period of time - since as snow melts and freezes again it can turn in to ice and a thick layer of ice might become too heavy. Wind is not a problem. But, to be even better prepared why not buy the RIGA XL 5 - it comes with 16-mm triple wall polycarbonate panels - this one is super strong.

A:  Tim, I am not sure if we offer all accessories (we sell) through HomeDepot.com but you are welcome to call us directly, to add any accessories we might have available. Exaco: 877-8500 ext 702 and 703. We are open during regular business hours.

A:  Martin, the expectation is that the average home owner (2 people) will do this in 2-days. I suggest you start with the doors and windows - which should take about 4-5 hours - caulking them properly can be time consuming. Than assemble both gable ends about 1--1.5 hrs each. This is done the first day. Next day assemble the whole unit - should take about 6 hours. I expect a crew who knows what they are doing to do all this in 8 hours. Adding shelves would take an extra hour. Adding additional accessories can take several more hours. Questions - call us: Exaco: 877-760-8500 ext 702 or 703. Good luck.

A:  Raven, They are not designed to as such - but you can butt-up both units and make it work - yes. But, we could order you a 10-meter long unit if you like - it would take about 3-4 months. However, why not use a RIGA XL unit instead? Two RIGA 5 is 330 sq.ft. and a RIGA XL 7 is 320 sq.ft. Not only is the foot print about the same you get much more volume (cubic feet) and significantly better insulation. Please call us: Exaco 877-760-8500 ext 701 or 702.

A:  The RIGA 5 will be able to do the job with the use of 2 1500 watt metal space heaters. However, a RIGA XL 5 with 16 mm triple wall polycarbonate would do a much better job. Feel free to call us to discuss options: Exaco 877-760-8500 ext 701.
