The Essex Camden Greenhouses

FREE SHIPPING WITH THESE UNITS!! Essex Greenhouses feature a sturdy aluminum frame designed to withstand harsh U.S. Climates (50% stonger than the European imports). Instead of glass, which can break or cause injury, Essex uses shatter resistant 6mm poly-carbonate twin wall panels, not 4mm twin wall or single pane like most others. This makes the Camden safer and more efficient as well. The poly-carbonate used on all Essex greenhouses is UV treated and its corrugated design traps and holds heat for better climate control. NOTE:Check below the product discription for selecting a site for your greenhouse and other recommendations.

Description

The Camden is the basic model from Essex without all the bells and whistles. Modeled identically to the Devon, the Camden is less technical but still efficient. Unlike the other Essex models the Camden does not come with the standard fans and vent. The idea behind the Camden is to offer a unit that has strength, durability, and functionality while keeping it affordable.

Features:
•Eve Height 5' This gives plenty of working room inside the greenhouse without having to stoop.
This also allows for more room for shelving.
•6mm poly-carbonate twin wall panels carry a 10 year warrenty against yellowing
•Heavy duty aluminum frame (50% heavier that the European imports)
•Strong Stainless Steel fasteners (not the softer aluminum like most others use)
•Double doors are standard, opening to 47". This allows for easy access and mid summer venting.
•Simple assembly manual and ground preparation instructions supplied with each unit.

Ideas on selecting a green house site:
The location of a greenhouse should be chosen very carefully. During the harsh winter months, the position of the greenhouse should receive at least six hours of direct sunlight. Shelter from high winds and from excessive water buildup should also be a consideration. Finding a location that is close to water
and electricity and is also easily accessible from both home and garden, combined with the above
considerations, should make for a very happy gardener.

For best heat gain during the winter, an east-west position is the best choice, providing the maximum solar heat gain. Since the sun is much lower during the winter months, southern exposure might be restricted: In this case, simply turn the greenhouse to a position that will allow the maximum amount of winter sun to penetrate it.

FOUNDATIONS:
IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT FOUNDATIONS ARE SQUARE AND LEVEL.
for the greenhouse To be assembled correctly and all parts to fit. There are a number of common types of greenhouse foundations used:
•A poured concrete slab.
•A concrete foundation to frost line.
•Pressure treated lumber 4x 6

Before you start check your local building code requirements!

Recommendation:
Most Essex greenhouses can be installed using 4 X 6 pressure treated lumber. This should be set on the 4 edge and buried to about 4 to 5 below ground level. The corners are fixed using 6 angle brackets. The additional weight of 4 X 6 over 4 X 4 should be adequate to hold the greenhouse down. If the greenhouse is to be positioned in a highly exposed area, it is recommended that the footings be pinned down using rebar (approx 1Ft from the corners). The holes need to be drilled at an angle of about 45 degrees toward the center of the timber with the rebar driven down flush with the top of the timber. The inside floor of the greenhouse should be covered with pea gravel or crushed limestone. This stone will act as a storage heater, soaking up the heat of the sun during the day. This will reduce heating costs during the winter months.

Concrete:
If the greenhouse is to be located on a concrete footing or slab, mount a 2 X 4 wood plate to the surface of the concrete base. When using a concrete as a foundation it is important to consider drainage.
