Verdict

YourGreenhouses Arrow: excellent, 9.3/10

The Arrow is the snow specialist of our list: YourGreenhouses rates its pointed (gothic) roof at 38 psf, about four feet of snow, and 65 mph of wind, on a 3.07 in galvanized steel frame. It also has 8 ft of headroom on a narrow 8.2 ft footprint. The catches are real though: the $2,810 price is a pre-order with delivery from mid-January, roof vents cost extra and no base is listed.

Buy it if

  • You get real snow and want the strongest published rating
  • Your yard is narrow but you want height
  • You can wait until early next year, or pay more for an in-stock unit

Skip it if

  • You want to plant this weekend
  • You want everything in the box, including vents and a base

Why the pointed roof matters

Snow loads are about shape as much as strength. A rounded tunnel lets snow settle on its flat-ish top. The Arrow's gothic arch rises to a point, so snow slides off sooner. YourGreenhouses rates it at 38 psf, "about 4 ft of snow", and 65 mph of wind. That is the highest snow figure any brand on our list publishes, ahead of its own rounder Polycarbonate model (32 psf) and the Bloomcabin High Tunnel (about 32.8 lb/ft²).

The frame is 3.07 in galvanized steel, built in Europe according to YourGreenhouses. Steel is heavier than the aluminum of Palram's kits, which is exactly what you want when the wind picks up.

Height in a narrow yard

At 8.2 ft wide and 13 ft long you get 106.6 sq ft of floor, and the point of the roof sits 96.4 in up, so 8 ft. YourGreenhouses calls it its tallest model. That height makes a big difference for tomatoes and cucumbers on strings, and it means a six-footer walks the center path without bending. The flip side of an arch is that the sides come down low, so plan benches or short crops along the walls and tall plants in the middle.

Panels and airflow

The panels are 1/4 in, about 6 mm, double-wall polycarbonate with 99% UV blocked. That is a good middle ground: warmer than 4 mm, lighter than 10 mm. Ventilation is the weak spot. You get a front door and one back window. Roof air vents are an option at $95 each, and in a sunny climate we would budget for at least one. A closed tunnel heats up fast on a bright spring afternoon.

Price and timing

On November 12, 2026, YourGreenhouses listed the 13 ft Arrow at $2,810 as a pre-order, with delivery estimated mid-January to early February, and an in-stock unit at $3,123. Shipping in the US is free. The warranty is 10 years on the steel frame and five on the panels, with a lifetime add-on for $260 and a 30-day money-back guarantee. No base is listed in the kit contents, so plan a timber frame or anchors.

The good and the catch

What we like, and what to know

  • 38 psf snow rating, the highest on our list
  • Pointed roof sheds snow instead of letting it sit
  • 8 ft 0 in at the peak on a narrow 8.2 ft wide footprint
  • 6 mm double-wall polycarbonate, 99% UV blocked
  • 30-day money-back guarantee from YourGreenhouses

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.
