Introducing the Rhino Premium 8x8 Greenhouse - the perfect solution for gardeners who prioritise quality and want to give their plants the best care possible. Improving on the already unmatched specification you'd expect with a Rhino Classic, our Rhino Premium range is an outstanding addition to your garden that provides excellent, stress-free gardening for a generation or more.
More strength: The Rhino Premium 8x8 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 8x8's standard specification gives you two double 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 8x8 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 8x8 greenhouse:
- 2 Double Roof Vents
- 2 Side Louvre Vents
- 4 Automatic Roof Vent Openers
- Storm Locks
Our Rhinos are the most ventilated greenhouses in their class on the market. Each one is fitted with a combination of single, double and triple roof vents (depending on size) to make sure the maximum area is achieved. Each roof vent is also controlled by solar-powered automatic vent openers, for peace of mind if you go away for a couple of days.
Vents on our Rhino Premiums are also fitted with storm locks, allowing vents to be secured down. This is ideal when bad weather is expected, allowing the entire structure to be made airtight. Note that it is important to disengage the vents before putting the storm locks into position, to avoid causing any damage to the openers.
The high quality Rhino five-blade louvre vents allow you to take complete control of your ventilation, allowing 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. The cherry tomato on top? 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.
Each Rhino is fitted with our own Grade A, Rhino Tuff 4mm toughened safety glass. This 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.
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. The Premium range builds on the already great strength of the Rhino Classic with box section glazing bars and 3mm thick 'T' section bracing throughout.
Did you know, 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 it’s inherent strength.
We needed to make sure the Rhino could cope with whatever the Great British weather may throw at it. Which is why we’ve tested the snow loading capacity of a Rhino by putting half a tonne of sand bags on the roof and we've also heard from customers that their Rhinos have withstood winds of 137mph – could there be a better test?
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.
More information regarding base preparation and base plans for Rhino greenhouses is also available.
This Rhino Premium greenhouse stands at 8ft 4ins wide and 8ft 3ins long with a ridge height of 8ft 4ins.
Every Rhino greenhouse is delivered with a comprehensive set of instructions. With help at key moments, a competent DIY enthusiast can erect this size of greenhouse over a weekend.
However, this time and effort can be eliminated by using a professional installer who will quickly and efficiently erect, glaze and anchor down the greenhouse on your pre-prepared site – either soil or hardstanding. See our Guidance Notes on Site and Base Preparation and Installation.
Installer charges for this size (depending on location and exact specification) are from £315.
Tick the use recommended installer box in your basket and once you've placed an order, we will send you relevant details for independent installers local to you, should you wish you to pursue this.

Absolute love it! Great quality and looks so good.
Lynne Turner - Rhino Premium 8x8 - Colour Finish
Bought my Rhino greenhouse 8x8 at Malvern Show after 3 years of looking at them to replace my old greenhouse. They were so helpful and knowledgeable at the show that I bought one. After sales service was excellent and they were really helpful over the phone. Delivery really good and I paid extra for the greenhouse to be built which is really worth paying the extra for. Absolutely love my new greenhouse and love the Blue Seagrass colour.. it's worth paying for the extra blinds and shelving as well. Thank you best thing I have bought for ages.
