YourGreenhouses Arrow Greenhouse 8x13
$2,810· Nov 12, 2026
Highest score in our formula.
Six kits with at least 100 sq ft of floor, from a $596 Outsunny to a $4,099 resin-framed Rion, in formula order.
Photo: Matt Hanns Schroeter / UnsplashOnce you have filled a small greenhouse (it takes about one season), you want floor space. These six kits all give you at least 100 sq ft, enough for two long beds and a path, or a propagation bench plus a summer crop.
The YourGreenhouses Arrow leads on our formula with a 38 psf snow rating and 8 ft of headroom. The YourGreenhouses Polycarbonate and the Bloomcabin High Tunnel give you about 130 sq ft and can be extended later. The Outsunny 8x16 is the bargain, if you can live without published ratings.

Order set by the overall weights; each kit keeps its one overall score.
Best for snowy yards and tall growers who want a steel frame and the highest published snow rating here.
The catch: At $2,810 it is a pre-order (delivery estimated mid-January to early February); an in-stock unit was $3,123. Roof vents are $95 each and no base is listed in the kit contents.
$2,810 at YourGreenhouses · checked November 12, 2026
Best for growers who want the most covered floor per dollar with a steel frame that copes with snow.
The catch: The peak is only 78.7 in (6 ft 7 in), so tall gardeners duck near the sides. The $2,765 price is a pre-order delivered from mid-January, roof vents are $95 each and no base is listed.
$2,765 at YourGreenhouses · checked November 12, 2026
Best for serious vegetable growers who want a long steel tunnel, a long warranty and room to extend.
The catch: No wind rating is published, which costs it points in our formula. The price you see depends on the discount Bloomcabin is running: $3,372.97 on November 12, 2026, against a $6,132.67 standard price.
$3,372.97 at Bloomcabin (listed $6,132.67) · checked November 12, 2026
Best for tall gardeners who grow from spring to fall and want lots of light and headroom.
The catch: The 0.8 mm crystal-clear panels are single-layer, so it is a season extender more than a winter greenhouse. No base is listed; Palram's anchor kit was $129 extra at Planet Greenhouse.
$2,249 at Planet Greenhouse · checked November 12, 2026
Best for growers who want the most square feet for the least money and can live with unknown limits.
The catch: No snow load, no wind rating and no warranty term on the page. The sliding door is only 1.6 ft wide.
$595.99 at Aosom (listed $677.99) · checked November 12, 2026
Best for gardeners who love a resin-framed, barn-shaped greenhouse and will pour a proper foundation.
The catch: No snow, wind or warranty figure on the pages we read, so it scores low on three criteria. It needs a concrete pad or heavy timber foundation, and the Rion base kit was $469 extra.
