You’ll love having a Rhino in your garden - it’s the perfect environment for your plants and looks beautiful.

We care about quality. Which is why we design and manufacture the Rhino in our own UK factory.

Louvre Vents & Automatic Roof Ventilation

Included as standard with the Rhino Premium 8x6 greenhouse:

  • 2 Single Roof Vents
  • 2 Side Louvre Vents
  • 2 Automatic Roof Vent Openers
  • Storm Locks

Our Rhino Premium greenhouses are fitted with as much roof ventilation as possible, using a combination of single, double and triple roof vents to make sure the maximum area is achieved. This means our Rhinos are the most ventilated greenhouses in their class on the market. And better still, all the roof vents are controlled by solar-powered automatic vent openers.

In addition to the automatic openers, the vents on our Rhino Premium greenhouses are also fitted with storm locks. These storm locks allow the vents to be secured down, making the entire structure airtight. This is ideal when bad weather is expected. Note that it is important to disengage the vents before putting the storm locks into position, to avoid causing any damage to the openers.

Optimal circulation can only be achieved through a combination of roof vents and side louvres. By allowing cool air to enter from the side, circulate up through the greenhouse before forcing air to escape through the roof vents, you can take complete control of your ventilation. We allow Rhino owners to do this through our high quality Rhino five-blade louvre vents.

Adequate ventilation is absolutely crucial to successful growing under glass. There is not another greenhouse on the market that has more ventilation than a Rhino. Better still, it's all included in the price.

We've produced a handy guide explaining why ventilation is so important and how to optimize your greenhouse temperature.

4mm Toughened Glass – strong and safe

Keep yourself and your family safe with Rhino's combination glazing system: Toughened Safety Glass and Rubber Glazing Beads. Perfect for exposed locations and families with young children and pets.

Rhino Tuff 4mm toughened safety glass is 33% thicker than most greenhouse glass and comes as standard with every Rhino greenhouse. The panes are designed with safety in mind, meaning breakages are less likely while ensuring that, if broken, the glass will shatter into lots of tiny pieces rather than big shards that are far more likely to cause injury. Even the edges of the glass are rounded so that you don’t cut yourself during installation. And with Grade A glass, you can achieve ultimate clarity for maximum light.

The unique Rhino glazing system locks each pane of glass in place along its entire length, using long rubber beads. The glass cannot be blown or sucked out of the frame and pushing on the glass only locks the beads more tightly into the frame, making it ideally engineered for high winds and other extreme weather conditions. With Rhino's glazing method, each pane becomes integral to the strength of the whole frame. The Premium range also features box-section glazing bead for even greater stability.

When compared with the glazing that comes as standard on most greenhouses, the Rhino ranges come up trumps every time. No dangerous horticultural glass or flimsy W-clips here; and with the smooth finish achieved by our glazing beads, there's no need for bar capping either.

Strong Frame – great wind resistance

Whether you're in the Outer Hebrides or the Channel islands we've got customers across the UK, all experiencing different weather conditions. So far we've heard our Rhinos have stood up to many storms and winds of up to 137mph.

Every Rhino is engineered for strength and stability, we wouldn't sit on the roof if a Rhino wasn't so strong!

Each Rhino frame has around 60% more aluminum than similarly priced models. But it’s not just the weight, it’s the clever design of the Rhino that provides its inherent strength. There are 3 key factors that contribute the strength of the Rhino range: additional bracing, Rhino Tuff glazing and an integral base create a solid and airtight framework from the top of the roof to the ground.

The Rhino Premium features even stronger 3mm T-section bracing; positioned at every strut of the framework of the eaves and ridge of the the greenhouse, you can be confident in the security of the structure.

The Rhino Tuff glazing system is further strengthened with box-section glazing bars - a further upgrade on the Classic range and the integral base also gives the whole framework solidity from the ground up. You can find more details on the glazing and integral base in the tabs above and below.

We’ve tested the snow loading capacity of a Rhino by putting half a tonne of sand bags on the roof, so it's ready for whatever the weather may throw at it.


Integral Base – stronger and great access

Every Rhino greenhouse includes a strong aluminum base in the price, which not only provides an incredibly strong foundation but also allows The Rhino to be erected simply onto firm, level soil – so there’s no need for an expensive concrete base.

Once The Rhino is erected, strong stainless steel ground anchors are concreted into position.

The Rhino can also be erected on a hard standing of concrete or paving slabs, in which case the stainless steel anchors are fixed using the fixings provided.

All Rhino greenhouses now include a low threshold door and ramp within the price. There’s no longer a trip hazard at the doorway and on 8, 10 and 12ft wide models there is plenty of width for a wheelchair or wheelbarrow to enter with ease.

Hanging Basket Rails

Every Rhino greenhouse comes with two hanging basket rails.

The roof is so strong that it can easily handle this extra load, and it’s a really useful feature. Your hanging baskets will thrive and it will also free up lots of space on your staging.

Rainwater Collection

Every Rhino greenhouse also comes with large integral gutters as well as down pipes and bends so you can collect and use the natural rainwater that your plants love.

25 Year Guarantee – they're that good

Nothing says more about the quality of a Rhino greenhouse than our 25 Year Guarantee.

A generation of gardeners can rest assured that the frame and even the powder coated color finish are covered, in the unlikely event that the greenhouse fails.

Base Preparation

Unlike most other greenhouse brands, our Rhinos can be erected on soil. This is only due to the strength created by its sturdy base and framework. A soil base should be level and fully compacted, freshly dug soil will shift too much and isn't suitable for use as a stable foundation. 

Alternatively, as long as they're smooth and level, hard standing bases are also suitable. Paving slabs, concrete bases and brick or block perimeter plinths can be used.

This Rhino Premium greenhouse stands at 8ft 4ins wide and 6ft 3ins long with a ridge height of 8ft 4ins.
