Can I leave the Garden Mart up all year long?
Yes. You can leave it up all year long in most parts of the United States. It is strong enough to hold up to heavy snow loads unheated. You can also remove the poly covering and remove the slide side panels and the frame will withstand wind and snow.

Can I buy the Garden Mart without bench tops?
Yes. Check our pricing page for the Garden Mart. There is a listed base price without the bench tops. This price includes the built-in benching brackets and is ready for your own bench tops or you can purchase bench tops separately from us at a later date. Keep in mind that it is less expensive to ship the bench tops with your Garden Mart order than to ship them separately at a later date.

What are the advantages of a double poly roof?
Inflating two layers of poly film will give you a tighter layer that will flap less in the wind and therefore will last longer. It will also give you a dead air space that will help to insulate the greenhouse. We recommend a double poly roof for anyone in a colder climate. Additionally, in a retail greenhouse such as the Garden Mart, the inflated roof will look nice and tight and generally give a more finished appearance.

How long does it take to set up the Garden Mart?
It depends on how long the Garden Mart is. Generally it takes 3–4 people 6–8 hours to set up a 48-foot Garden Mart. Variables such as how the structure is anchored, single or double poly roof and additional end or side doors can increase this time.

Why would I want expanded metal bench tops?
Expanded metal mesh bench tops are very nice for displaying a wide variety of plants and products. Our standard bench tops are really designed mainly for displaying flats. So if you plan on displaying potted plants, hardgoods and other products then you should purchase the expanded metal bench tops. Also, if you are not sure and would like to purchase them at a later date, please see our expanded metal retro kits.
