For those navigating the extreme conditions of desert climates, the MONT Greenhouse – Moheat Package emerges as a pioneering solution. Tailored to thrive in landscapes where the sun reigns supreme by day and temperatures plummet by night, this greenhouse is your botanical sanctuary. It seamlessly integrates the cooling serenity of tinted roof panels with the warmth of the included greenhouse heater, ensuring your plants enjoy optimal conditions around the clock.

This dual approach addresses the desert’s harsh dichotomy, providing a cool haven during the day and a warm embrace during the cold desert nights, making the MONT Moheat Greenhouse Kit an indispensable ally for the desert gardener.

Just a heads-up: MONT used to go by the name Monticello. That’s right – the name got spruced up, but the greenhouses are still the same (or improved) garden havens you know and cherish. If Monticello Greenhouse rings a bell, you’re in the right place; welcome to the new era of MONT!

MONT Moheat Package

Building upon the MONT Greenhouse‘s already impressive foundation, the Moheat Package equips desert gardeners with everything needed to conquer the climate’s demands. Highlights include:

Tinted Roof Panels: This feature reduces the necessity for an external shade cloth, creating a functional and aesthetically charming appearance. They make it easy to manage the interior temperature, protecting your plants from the scorching sun.

Solar Ventilation System: This system circulates air within your greenhouse, keeping your plants at a suitable temperature using solar power, and eliminating the need for electrical outlets. The panel is twice as powerful as needed to operate the fan. With an optional marine battery connection, it can easily run at night (battery not included).

Perfect Air Circulation: Each MONT Moheat Greenhouse is designed with precisely two roof windows, regardless of the greenhouse’s size. This strategic and efficient design allows the solar exhaust fan to circulate air effectively, maintaining the perfect climate for your plants.

Enhanced with the Moheat Edition:

The addition of the Radiant Propane Gas Greenhouse Heater in the Moheat Package addresses the unique challenge of desert gardening: the drastic temperature drop at night. This heater not only extends the growing season but also ensures that your plant sanctuary remains a thriving, warm haven even as outside temperatures fall.

FAQs

Is the frame anodized?

Yes & No. The aluminum frame is anodized. However, the black frame is electrostatically painted.

Is the black paint powdercoated?

No, the black paint is electrostatically applied which is stronger than powder coating. It is very difficult to scratch and should not fade dramatically. Riverstone Industries guarantees it for 10 years.

Is the aluminum frame cooler than the black frame?

Yes, the aluminum frame is on average about 7 degrees cooler than the black.

Can the MONT be attached to a concrete pad? If so what are the dimensions needed for the concrete pad?

Yes, you can use a concrete pad. Riverstone Industries recommends that you add 3 – 4 inchs to the pad on all sides. For Example: The 8ft x 8ft (exact size of 8.1ft x 8.1ft) would need a concrete pad of 8.4ft x 8.4ft. Note: Riverstone Industries does not provide concrete screws, you will need to buy these from your local hardware store.

What tools do I need for the assembly or is everything included?

Not everything is included. Here is a list of tools you will need and items included:

  • Work gloves
  • Safety goggles
  • Spirit level
  • Tape measure
  • Step ladder
  • Clear silicone caulk tube
  • 23 1/8 inch spacer (included)
  • 7/16 wrench (included)
  • Philips screwdriver (included)
  • Flat screwdriver (included)
  • 5-foot bungee cord (included)

Can I extend the MONT Greenhouse later?

Yes, it is expandable in 4ft increments.

We live in a seismically active area south of San Francisco. I’d like to install the greenhouse on a hill. Is this the best greenhouse for my conditions?

MONTs are very sturdy greenhouses. However, the greenhouses are not tested for earthquakes. What we can suggest for you to do is to check the bolts and make sure everything is tightened after an earthquake or from time to time. The panels won’t pop out unless the frame is loose. The channels are made to fit the Polycarbonate snugly.

What does the ventilation fan do versus the auto openers in the roof?

Automatic vent openers are self-contained units which require no electricity. It is a temperature-sensitive device that automatically opens and closes a roof vent. So, they release heat and they basically require wind to make the air flow through the greenhouse. The powered ventilation fan gives you more control. It removes excess heat by creating air movement throughout the greenhouse. However, it’s just a fan, not an AC unit. So, on very hot days, you’ll still experience higher temperatures inside your greenhouse.

Do the doors swing out or slide to the side? What is the door width?

It’s a hinged door so it swings. The door opening is 4ft x 6ft.

Where does it ship from?

Georgia, USA
