Introducing the Rhino Premium 8x6 Greenhouse - a fantastic solution for gardeners who value quality and want the best for their plants.
We’ve designed the 8x6 to give you even more than the Rhino Classic 8x6, improving on the already unmatched specification so you can have an outstanding addition to your garden that provides excellent, stress-free gardening for a generation or more.
More strength: The Rhino Premium 8x6 takes the Rhino Classic frame, which has 60% more aluminium in its frame than competitors, and strengthens it further by adding sturdy T-section bracing at every strut of the framework of the eaves and ridge.
It's safe: As with any Rhino, the Rhino Premium comes with our Grade A, 4mm toughened safety glass as standard. Each pane of glass has specially rounded edges to help prevent injury.
More for your money: The Rhino Premium 8x6's standard specification gives you two single roof vents, automatic roof openers, two five-blade louvre side vents, integral gutters and downpipes, hanging basket rails and a low threshold doorway with double doors. A Rhino Premium also has fully automatic roof openers to help keep your greenhouse well ventilated at all times, and every vent has a storm lock, so you can disengage your openers and lock down your Rhino Premium greenhouse roof vents when the gales sweep in.
More space: The Rhino Premium has a 6ft 5ins doorway, and the ridge is over 8ft high, to give you plenty of headroom and space to keep taller plants under glass for longer.
Even more beautiful: With a choice of colours and optional elegant finishing touches like ridge finials which aren’t available on a Rhino Classic, the Rhino Premium 8x6 will really make a statement in your garden.
Unrivalled strength, an abundance of equipment as standard, and a 25-year guarantee. Don't settle for ordinary when you can have the extraordinary.

You’ll love having a Rhino in your garden - it’s the perfect environment for your plants and looks beautiful. It’s also very strong and safe for you and your family.
We care about quality. We design and manufacture the Rhino in our own UK factory and sell direct to the public. We think this makes the Rhino the best value greenhouse money can buy. See what you think.
Included as standard with the Rhino Premium 8x6 greenhouse:
- 2 Single Roof Vents
- 2 Side Louvre Vents
- 2 Automatic Roof Vent Openers
- Storm Locks
Even though the 8x6 is one of our smaller greenhouse it's still fitted with as much roof ventilation as possible. Each single roof vent is controlled by solar-powered automatic vent openers. These openers help to regulate the temperature within your greenhouse by opening and closing as required.
Vents on our Rhino Premiums are also fitted with storm locks, allowing vents to be secured down making the entire structure airtight. This is essential in bad weather so you can protect both the greenhouse and its contents from high winds.
Please note that it is important to disengage the vents before putting the storm locks into position, to avoid causing any damage to the openers.
Take complete control of your ventilation with our high quality Rhino five-blade louvre vents. These vents allow cool air to enter from the side, circulate up through the greenhouse forcing air to escape through the roof vents. Optimal circulation can only be achieved through a combination of roof vents and side louvres.
Adequate ventilation is absolutely crucial to successful growing under glass. There is not another greenhouse on the market that has more ventilation than a Rhino. Better still, it's all included in the price.
We've produced a handy guide explaining why ventilation is so important and how to optimise your greenhouse temperature.
Keep yourself and your family safe with Rhino's combination glazing system: Toughened Safety Glass and Rubber Glazing Beads. Perfect for exposed locations and families with young children and pets.
Rhino Tuff 4mm toughened safety glass is 33% thicker than most greenhouse glass and comes as standard with every Rhino greenhouse. The panes are designed with safety in mind, meaning breakages are less likely while ensuring that, if broken, the glass will shatter into lots of tiny pieces rather than big shards that are far more likely to cause injury. Even the edges of the glass are rounded so that you don’t cut yourself during installation. And with Grade A glass, you can achieve ultimate clarity for maximum light.
The unique Rhino glazing system locks each pane of glass in place along its entire length, using long rubber beads. The glass cannot be blown or sucked out of the frame and pushing on the glass only locks the beads more tightly into the frame, making it ideally engineered for high winds and other extreme weather conditions. With Rhino's glazing method, each pane becomes integral to the strength of the whole frame. The Premium range also features box-section glazing bead for even greater stability, as a step up from the Classic range.
When compared with the glazing that comes as standard on most greenhouses, the Rhino ranges come up trumps every time. No dangerous horticultural glass or flimsy W-clips here; and with the smooth finish achieved by our glazing beads, there's no need for bar capping either.

We wouldn’t sit on the roof if a Rhino wasn’t so strong! Indeed, it’s why we named them Rhino. Every single Rhino is engineered for strength and stability, making it perfectly adapted for extreme weather and exposed locations - many customers choose a Rhino specifically for this reason, and here that they have withstood many storms and winds of up to 137mph! Whether you're in the Outer Hebrides or the Channel Islands, our Rhinos make secure growing locations, no matter the weather
Each Rhino frame has around 60% more aluminium than similarly priced models. But it’s not just the weight, it’s the clever design of the Rhino that provides its inherent strength. There are 3 key factors that contribute the strength of the Rhino range. The Rhino Premium is a step up from the Classic model, with even stronger T-section bracing replacing the tubular bracing of the Classic; positioned at every strut of the framework of the eaves and ridge of the the greenhouse, you can be confident in the security of the structure. The integral base and Rhino Tuff glazing system also add to the overall strength, creating a solid and airtight framework from the top of the roof to the ground.
We’ve tested the snow loading capacity of a Rhino by putting half a tonne of sand bags on the roof, so it's ready for whatever the Great British weather may throw at it.
Every Rhino greenhouse includes a strong aluminium base in the price, which not only provides an incredibly strong foundation but also allows The Rhino to be erected simply onto firm, level soil – so there’s no need for an expensive concrete base.
Once The Rhino is erected, strong stainless steel ground anchors are concreted into position.
The Rhino can also be erected on a hardstanding of concrete or paving slabs, in which case the stainless steel anchors are fixed using the fixings provided.
All Rhino greenhouses now include a low threshold door and ramp within the price. There’s no longer a trip hazard at the doorway and on 8, 10 and 12ft wide models there is plenty of width for a wheelchair or wheelbarrow to enter with ease.
Every Rhino greenhouse comes with two hanging basket rails.
The roof is so strong that it can easily handle this extra load, and it’s a really useful feature. Your hanging baskets will thrive and it will also free up lots of space on your staging.
Every Rhino greenhouse also comes with large integral gutters as well as downpipes and bends so you can collect and use the natural rainwater that your plants love.
There is an optional two-in-one kit available at an extra cost which joins the two pipes at the rear of the greenhouse and allows both gutters to feed into one water butt.
Nothing says more about the quality of a Rhino greenhouse than our 25 Year Guarantee.
A generation of gardeners can rest assured that the frame and even the powder coated colour finish are covered, in the unlikely event that the greenhouse fails.
Unlike most other greenhouse brands, our Rhinos can be erected on soil. This is only due to the strength created by its sturdy base and framework. A soil base should be level and fully compacted, freshly dug soil will shift too much and isn't suitable for use as a stable foundation.
Alternatively, as long as they're smooth and level, hardstanding bases are also suitable. Paving slabs, concrete bases and brick or block perimeter plinths can be used.

This Rhino Premium greenhouse stands at 8ft 4ins wide and 6ft 3ins long with a ridge height of 8ft 4ins.
