HFGH - can a 6 x 8 be reduced?

6 years ago

I can't tell from the instructions/pictures and am hoping that someone here can tell me if it is possible to reduce the 6 x 8 greenhouse to one that is only 4 long by 6 wide. Can the side rails be cut down to 4 feet and then simply leave out the two middle sections and put the vent in one of the back peaks?
or is this insanely silly.
My problem is that I have a side deck that I don't have the width to accommodate the Palram 6 x 4 because of the extra 2 feet that swinging door uses.
many thanks for any suggestions or warnings.

Nemind... I re measured and figure l have 2 inches to spare with a swing door. Ordered the palram mythos 6x4. It will serve a dual purpose of blocking the hillbillies next door from staring into my kitchen window as well as extend my season a little.

How much sun will come come through? Is this installation where your TV is? If it's southern face of the house take your time on your decision there will be a lot of light and heat coming in and unfortunately you might end up with blinds or a curtain which will block the light you are desiring.

Those are so similar I don't think you can go wrong either way. 3x6 is the traditional size so you may want to go with that if the bathroom has a vintage feel or you're in an old home. The 4x8 may give you a more contemporary vibe.
