AMERLIFE 8 x 12 x 7 ft Polycarbonate Greenhouse: common questions
Is the AMERLIFE 8 x 12 x 7 ft Polycarbonate Greenhouse any good?
With 2.2 out of 10, it ranks 19 of 26 greenhouses in our comparison. Strength: twin-wall panels insulate and diffuse light. Weakness: no wind rating published. Best for warm climates where venting matters.
How big is the AMERLIFE 8 x 12 x 7 ft Polycarbonate Greenhouse?
It covers 8 x 12 ft, about 96 sq ft. It stands about 84 inches (7.0 ft) tall at the peak. The package weighs about 163.2 lb.
Can the AMERLIFE 8 x 12 x 7 ft Polycarbonate Greenhouse handle wind and snow?
The listing publishes no wind rating for this model. We found no snow rating, so brush snow off the roof after every snowfall.
What base does the AMERLIFE 8 x 12 x 7 ft Polycarbonate Greenhouse need?
Build it on a level, square base: a concrete slab, pavers, or a timber frame on gravel. Bolt or screw the frame down at every corner. An uneven base twists the frame, and then the panels pop out in the first strong wind.
How long do the panels on the AMERLIFE 8 x 12 x 7 ft Polycarbonate Greenhouse last?
It has 4 mm twin-wall polycarbonate, 4 vents. Polycarbonate with a UV coating lasts ten years or more. Twin-wall panels trap air, so they insulate better than single clear sheets and spread the light more evenly.
What warranty comes with the AMERLIFE 8 x 12 x 7 ft Polycarbonate Greenhouse?
We found no written warranty term on the listing. Amazon's return window still applies, so check every part when the boxes arrive.
