GREE Riverstone Industries MONT Greenhouse - MONT-8-BK
Not all greenhouses are the same, and the MONT line by Riverstone Industries proves it. Proudly made in the USA, the MONT uses American ingenuity to create a top-notch product that sets a new standard for greenhouses. Built from high-quality extruded aluminum (U.S. grade, not the thinner, more brittle foreign aluminum) and electrostatically painted black (with zero lead), our greenhouse includes over 40 lbs. more aluminum than the average imported greenhouse. This means it can handle more snow in winter and withstand wind better.
Unlike most hobby greenhouses that use cheaper, thinner materials (as thin as 0.2mm), the MONT features professional-grade 8mm twin-wall polycarbonate. This material acts like double-pane windows, keeping cool air in during warm months and insulating against cold air in winter. This makes the MONT more efficient for year-round growing, reducing electric bills for those who grow year-round. Standing at 7 ft. 6 in. tall at the peak, the MONT offers extra height to help with heat displacement and provide comfort for even the tallest gardeners. It features an integrated base, built-in rainwater gutter system, automatic roof vent opener, and redesigned hinged double doors (almost 6 ft. high x 4.5 ft. wide), ensuring long-lasting enjoyment.
The MONT also grows with your needs, thanks to a 4 ft. extension kit available for future purchase. Backed by the strongest warranty in the industry (10 years on the frame and polycarbonate), the MONT is perfect for gardeners seeking a mid-priced greenhouse that offers years of hassle-free indoor gardening.
