Rion Prestige Greenhouse - Green Giant Greenhouse Review

Note: This is the second part of the green giant greenhouses and prestige greenhouses review conclusion.

Thirdly, we were all extremely impressed with the frame of the Rion Prestige/Green Giant. Being constructed from high quality PVC resin with UV protection, it’s lightweight, it doesn’t fade, it doesn’t warp, and it’s incredibly strong and rigid. Such is the integrity of the Rion Prestige/Green Giant, that tests have determined it can safely withstand wind speeds of up to 80 Mph and more than a thousand pounds of snow. Of course, taking this into consideration, this is certainly one greenhouse that’s suitable for practically all climates, irrespective of the severity of weather conditions.

Installation: - Even those with absolutely zero technical abilities will find the installation process a complete breeze. Unlike many of the aluminum or wooden frame greenhouses which require some measure of drilling and/or cutting, the Rion Prestige/Green Giant is designed in such a way that all sections simply push-fit together. Likewise, the installation instructions also couldn’t be any easier to follow.

As mentioned earlier in this review, the number of accessories included with the Rion Prestige/Green Giant houses is yet another element which puts them in a league of their own. Not only do you get the base kit with some roof windows, but you also get louver windows, automatic window openers, rain gutters and solar lighting. In fact, you even get staging/potting tables. Of course, it’s easy to appreciate how much these accessories are worth, and just how much extra cost they would incur if added to other greenhouse models.

Review Conclusion:
While we have given the Rion Professional series the top rating, the Rion Prestige/Green Giant undeniably comes in at a very close second. This is of course for a number of reasons such as easy installation, convenient shipping method, extra head room, clear side panels, available size extensions, strength, durability, and of course the handsome variety of accessories. Even with regards to price, we found it to be exceptional value for money and we were pleasantly surprised to note that the price is considerably lower than similar sized greenhouses offered by other manufacturers.

Rion Prestige & Rion Green Giant Greenhouse Review

Essentially, the only reason we’ve not given the Rion Prestige/Rion Green Giant the top spot rather than the Rion Professional, is because of the price. In fact, it’s taller than the Professional and it comes with more accessories as well but unfortunately, the price places it at a slight disadvantage when compared to that of the Rion Professional. In addition to being just over a foot taller than the Rion Professional, it also comes with clear side panels, as does the Rion Prestige. For any gardener requiring the many benefits of the Professional series, but who would prefer having clear side panels and a little extra head room, the Green Giant or Prestige greenhouse would be the better option.

Primary Benefits Of Green Giant Greenhouses And Pretige Greenhouses

The primary advantage of the Prestige or Green Giant series over other models is the variety of available sizes, ranging from a mediocre 8’x8’ all the way through to 8’x24’ or more. The nice thing about the Prestige/Green Giant is that the size can be increased in 4” increments and for added convenience, the 4” extensions can be purchased separately at any time. For example, if when you first start out you decide to settle for a 8’x8’, only to realize a few months down the line that you really could do with a larger greenhouse, you simply purchase the relevant extensions, thus allowing you to add on adequate middle space.

Best Features
The second most noticeable feature is the way in which it gets shipped. For the most part, it gets shipped via either Fedex or UPS in multiple packages, all of which are reasonably sized. Those who’ve bought similar sized greenhouses in the past will know that many are delivered on the back of a flatbed truck because of their size. Of course, this also results in some companies insisting that the client be responsible for the off-loading. Considering the obvious advantage of having your greenhouse delivered in manageable sized boxes, it’s hardly surprising that this was highly regarded by the review panel.
