Little Cottage Co. 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse

Is the Little Cottage Co. 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse the right size for your garden? Size: 8x12 96 sq ft Lead time: 4-6 weeks Transit: 2-9 days from Ohio Panelized kit LP SmartSide siding & trim The Little Cottage Co. 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse gives home gardeners 96 square feet of growing space in a longer 8-foot-wide layout. It is a good fit for shoppers who like the narrower width of the 8x8 but want more room for plant benches, seed trays, and seasonal garden supplies. This 8x12 panelized greenhouse kit includes LP SmartSide siding and trim, a corrugated polycarbonate roof, tempered-glass windows with screens, transom windows, a Colonial Dutch door, interior wooden shelving on three sides, hanging basket rods, hardware, and an assembly manual. The siding and trim arrive primed and ready to paint, so you can finish the greenhouse to match the rest of your outdoor space. Why Choose the 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse? More length without moving to a 10-foot width: The 8x12 footprint gives you 96 square feet of usable space, making it easier to add growing benches or keep supplies organized while still using a narrower greenhouse width. A practical step up from the 8x8: This size gives shoppers more working room than the compact 8x8 while staying easier to place along a garden edge, fence line, or tighter backyard layout than the wider 10-foot models. Light and airflow from size-specific windows: The 8x12 model includes 33 tempered-glass windows with screens and 16 tempered-glass transom windows, giving the longer greenhouse more window coverage than the smallest size. Useful for separate growing zones: The added length helps you separate seed starting, potted plants, tools, and seasonal storage so the greenhouse can support more than one gardening task at a time. Panelized design for more manageable assembly: The greenhouse ships in large panelized sections, with hardware and an instruction manual included, helping reduce assembly time compared with building the structure from raw materials. 8x12 Colonial Gable Greenhouse Dimensions This 8x12 greenhouse should be installed on an exact-size 8 ft x 12 ft floor, frame, footer, or slab.
