Simply
Solar Greenhouses Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Simply Solar Greenhouse
work where I live? We have very hot summers and very cold winters.
We have gardeners with our
greenhouse growing year round in all 48 continental states plus Alaska
& Canada.
What is the Simply Solar Greenhouse
made of?
The Simply Solar Greenhouse
is a one piece molded fiberglass product. We use the finest quality fiberglass
and exclusive resins formulated for our greenhouse.
As light enters the greenhouse it
is reflected and refracted off the interior walls. This fiber optic effect
means several things to you:
On cloudy days it is actually brighter
inside the greenhouse than it is outside.
Plants inside the Simply
Solar Greenhouse are surrounded by light, thus creating a unique growing
and blooming condition.
There are no shadows inside the Simply
Solar Greenhouse due to the fiber optics so you are able to grow on multiple
levels, something that is difficult to do in a conventional greenhouse.
You can literally grow from the ground to the ceiling. You are only limited
by the height of the plants.
Your greenhouse blocks out the
ultra violet light. Why is this important?
For your greenhouse it is
important because ultra violet light breaks down the composition of the
synthetic products that most greenhouses are made of today.
For your plants ultraviolet protection
is important just as it is for humans. Your plants will not be burned or
shut down due to harmful UV rays. Many so-called shade plants, like orchids
and fuscias, are not harmed by light, but rather by the ultra violet rays.
Won’t it cost me a lot of money to
heat my Simply Solar Greenhouse?
The Simply Solar Greenhouse
is a true passive solar product. The reflection and refraction of the light
results in a fiber optic effect causing a heat and light build-up in cold
weather.
You don’t have to purchase an expensive
greenhouse heater for cold winter nights. A simple, inexpensive 1500 watt
heater with a thermostat and fan will do the trick.
The heater will only be needed at
night and you are only going to keep the greenhouse at 40 degrees in the
nighttime, you can operate year round for only a few dollars a month.
More northern locations will require
more than one heater.
I live in a extremely hot desert
climate. Won’t I need coolers? How will the Simply Solar Greenhouse operate
in the summertime?
Lack of humidity and ultraviolet
rays are more harmful than summer heat. With your windows open and the
hot air escaping from the open vents on the top air movement is created.
The evaporation from your damp mulch
on the ground combined with the air movement a natural swamp cooler effect
is created.
Do the automatic paraffin hydraulic
vent openers require electricity?
No. They are solar powered.
Can I use gravel inside the greenhouse
instead of mulch?
No. Gravel will not absorb
the moisture and will retain cold in winter and heat in summer. Your mulch
serves many purposes. It insulates the ground in the winter. The evaporation
helps cool the greenhouse in the summer and maintains the proper level
of humidity in the greenhouse all year long. If you are worried about
tracking the mulch most folks just put a few stepping stones down the middle.
What do I have to do to get my greenhouse
going?
When our tractor trailer
arrives all you have to do is point out where you want it installed. There
is nothing to assemble and you don’t need a foundation. We will trench
your site and install the greenhouse for you.
I’ve looked at a lot of greenhouse
catalogs and there are pages and pages of accessories. What do I have to
buy to get my Simply Solar going?
Maybe nothing. For your
mulch you can use sawdust, bark mulch, bark chips or wood chips. Whatever
is free or cheap in your area. The rest can be as simple or as complex
as you want it to be. A packet of seeds and a watering can will get you
growing.
You probably have an electric heater
that you can use already. Don’t spend a lot of money on a heater as they
will all rust out in a greenhouse environment.
I’ve never had a greenhouse before.
I’m afraid it’s going to be too complicated.
Think about it... You are
now growing outdoors. You are fighting pests, lack of humidity, ultra violet
rays, temperature fluctuations, too much sun, too little sun and so on.
Anything you can grow outdoors is
going to be 100 times easier to grow in your Simply Solar Greenhouse because
of the stable environment.
What about hail, snow and wind?
While nothing is indestructible,
there is no product on the market that will stand-up to the elements as
well as the Simply Solar Greenhouse.
Where should I locate my Simply Solar
Greenhouse on my property?
While your Simply Solar
Greenhouse is happy in any location and exposure, we recommend if possible,
that the long side (arched side) face the prevailing winds in your area.
How many boxes does my Simply Solar
Greenhouse come in?
Your Simply Solar Greenhouse
is not a kit. It is delivered to you completely assembled in one piece.
Is the fiberglass in the Simply Solar
Greenhouse toxic?
The finished Simply Solar
product is nontoxic. In fact, many water storage units are today made from
fiberglass products.
How does my Simply Solar Greenhouse
get to me? I have a big fence, will that be a problem?
Your Simply Solar Greenhouse
is delivered to you by one of our fleet of specially designed truck &
trailers. Fences and other logistical property challenges are historically
not a problem for our factory trained drivers and installers. We have delivered
and installed thousands of our greenhouses and had a mere few that we couldn’t
install.
Is it ok to place my Simply Solar
Greenhouse under trees or next to a building?
Yes. Because of the fiber
optic effect the Simply Solar Greenhouse will capture light under almost
any condition. Care should be taken however, not to place your Simply Solar
Greenhouse under a diseased tree that may loose a large limb.
What if I want to drill into my Simply
Solar for “S” hooks or to install rods for hanging baskets? Is that ok?
Absolutely. We recommend
placing washers on both sides of the bolts and using a small amount of
silicone caulking to insure that your installation is watertight.
What would happen if my Simply Solar
Greenhouse was damaged in transit? Would I have to file claims with shippers
and their insurance company?
Unlike most greenhouse companies
we do not use third party shippers. We deliver our own greenhouses using
our company owned fleet of specially designed trucks and trailers.
I like the idea of a contained solar
unit. Can the Simply Solar Greenhouse be used for purposes other than gardening?
Yes, there are many. Not
only is the Simply Solar Greenhouse the ultimate performance product for
gardeners, there are many other applications. We have Simply Solar Greenhouses
in schools, zoos and many commercial and non-profit entities. The Simply
Solar Greenhouse has been used for fish, birds, insects, reptiles and a
myriad of other purposes.

Here’s what people who have purchased
the Simply Solar Greenhouse say:
"I raised several tomato plants all
winter long and had tomatoes to eat when no one else did!
The best thing I like about my greenhouse
is that it takes very little heat. I use a small ceramic heater which
I keep set on low. In extremes I put it to medium. I haven't
even used it yet and we've had low temperatures below 30."
-Barbara in North Carolina
"We are very pleased with the appearance
and prompt delivery of our Simply Solar Greenhouse. The two gentlemen
who made the delivery did an outstanding job."
-Irma in Virginia
"I had to express my thanks and
appreciation to you and others of your company in the splendid and efficient
way you do business.
Everything was done as promised,
on time as promised. I had come to the conclusion that a company
of your caliber didn't exist any longer"
-Jim in Texas
"We have had our solar greenhouse
for six months and use it continuously. It's still going strong.
It's wonderful for retirement.
It keeps us busy!"
-William in California
"Our tomato plants were set out
in September and will be taken out in a couple of weeks at the end of June.
When they reached the top of the greenhouse, I let them string down 3 feet
and they are now trying to push through the roof! We have enjoyed
the solar greenhouse and hope to do so for a long time to come."
-Tommie in Oklahoma
"I thoroughly enjoy my solar greenhouse.
My husband and I don't regret investing in a Solar Greenhouse nine years
ago. We thoroughly enjoy the vegetables grown there, especially the
vine-ripened tomatoes."
