Construction
The frame uses aluminium profiles, combining strength with low weight, while a galvanised steel perimeter base adds stability at ground level and helps anchor the structure.
The 0.7mm twin-wall polycarbonate panels are shatterproof and insulate better than traditional glass, making the Octave a safer choice for family gardens. Fine Shield Technology blocks UV on both surfaces, protecting plants from harmful radiation and the panels from discolouring.
Treatment & Guarantee
The aluminium frame needs no painting, staining or preservative, and the whole structure is maintenance free. Palram Canopia backs this greenhouse with a 5-year limited warranty.
Doors & Windows
Wide double doors make it easy to bring in barrows, compost and large pots, and they include a padlock fixing point. A padlock is not supplied. Two roof vents open manually to regulate temperature and airflow.
Assembly Information
The Octave has no floor and must be secured to a solid, level base prior to assembly. Have your base prepared and ready before the delivery arrives. Concrete or paving slabs make a good foundation, and the galvanised steel perimeter base then anchors the frame securely. Take time to check the base is level, as this keeps the doors and vents working smoothly.
Delivery Information
Free delivery is available to most UK mainland addresses. Please check at the point of order whether your location qualifies.
Optional Upgrades
No optional upgrades are listed for this model, and you will need to supply your own padlock. For an alternative 8×12, see the 8×12 Palram Canopia Balance aluminium framed greenhouse.
