Hoklartherm Riga XL 8 Greenhouse 14×26
Whether you are new to gardening or an experienced grower you may have been wondering about the best greenhouse for your plants. With Hoklartherm Riga XL 8 Greenhouse 14ft x 26ft, you can now have the perfect environment for your plants. This is all you need to set up a comfortable and safe atmosphere to start planting your crops. Add a charming and unique greenhouse to your garden. You now have the capability to eat fresh veggies and fruit well past the growing period.
The Riga XL 8 is a combination of durable materials and long-lasting hardware. Take note that it is by far the toughest greenhouse in the U.S. It is strong enough to produce vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers all the way through harsh winters and severe winds. Its 16mm triple-wall Polycarbonate is the thickest industrial quality material in the country. These types of greenhouses are intended to be used in cold weather. The roof has no shoulder and there is no ridge for the snow to build up on.
This onion-shaped greenhouse kit comes with larger and more windows than other greenhouses. The six roof windows work with automatic openers. The pistons are loaded with paraffin oil which opens and closes due to temperature fluctuations. It pushes the window wide open when it becomes hot indoors and closes the window when it cools down. No batteries or electricity is needed.
There are heavy-duty rubber seals that insulate any gaps, and additional silicone caulk that is applied to all the windows. The roof windows are attached with a “tongue and groove” hinge which crosses the full length of the top profile of the roof window.
This greenhouse has two oversized barn-style doors with a key lock. You can leave the top half open allowing a nice cross breeze. Add the optional Premium Kit to benefit from more accessories, such as shelving, grow lights, ventilation, and more.

With a combination of strong materials and durable hardware, the Riga is by far the strongest greenhouse of its size under $10,000.
The Riga XL comes with 4 “L-shaped” anchor bars (which attach to the inside of the base profiles) to attach the greenhouse to a concrete or wood frame.
The Polycarbonate glazing on the Riga is German-made and believed to be of superior quality than the much more common Polygal or GE glazing.
