Victorian Greenhouses
The Victorian Greenhouse is one of the premier greenhouses in the “Helios” line of greenhouses from Janssens of Belgium. This company has been making high-end glass greenhouses for over 30 years. Since the introduction of the Victorian model, in 1999, they have become a leading supplier of this style of greenhouse in Europe. We are proud to now be the USA distributor of this very fine greenhouse.

Multiple Sizes, Years of Design Improvements, and Still Amazingly Affordable

The Victorian Greenhouse not only provides a first-class quality greenhouse environment, it also adds significant old fashion English style and beauty to your backyard. This is a classic English greenhouse. Janssens has improved on the overall design and internal growing environment of this style of greenhouse since it's initial release, while keeping the price lower than comparable models in this class. Available in three different sizes, the Victorian Greenhouse is suitable for almost any backyard application.

Glass or Polycarbonate Construction - Choose Which Best For You

The Victorian Greenhouse line is available with either 4mm Tempered Glass or 10mm Twin Wall Polycarbonate walls. Each choice has a unique set of advantages allowing you to pick the option which will work best for your needs.

Advantages of Tempered Glass

  • Full transparency is a better "look" for some applications, especially if using the structure for non plant-growing purposes
  • Maximum amount of natural light when using structure for growing plants
  • No fading or discoloration over lifespan
  • Flame resistant
  • Glass is a chemical free, environmentally friendly material

Advantages of Polycarbonate

  • Almost impossible to break, polycarbonate will flex and resist against things like objects hitting the panels or heavy wind and snow loads
  • Blocks harmful UV rays and creates a diffused light environment that promotes consistent light conditions throughout the interior of the structure
  • Has been shown to retain heat more efficiently than glass, an advantage in cold weather growing environments
  • Low maintenance, will demand less cleaning than glass while still looking great.

Why Choose a Victorian Greenhouse?

  • Aluminum Profiles are larger,thicker, stronger than those of any competitor in this price range
  • Uses 4mm tempered glass while other use only 3 mm glass
  • Polycarbonate glazing option is 10mm twin wall polycarbonate for improved insulation and is protected with a high-quality UV protective coating to last for many years

SPOTLIGHT: Retro Victorian Model

The Retro Victorian Greenhouse is similar to the Royal Victorian however it utilizes narrower 14" vertical panels of 4mm tempered glass, which may be an advantage in some weather situations, and also creates a different look by having decorative non-glass panels for the lower sections. The Retro Victorian is available in two spacious sizes. See specifications below for size details.

A greenhouse is not just a purchase, it is a lifestyle.

A greenhouse is not just a purchase, it is a lifestyle. You want the best people to help you with the process. We wanted to share our experience so that future customers can make the decision to move ahead with their Greenhouse and to learn a bit more about the process of erecting it.

If you do not read any further, Greenhouse Emporium’s sales process and customer service was as good as it gets. The Greenhouse is well made, and we have zero regrets choosing the Janssen Vi36 (10X20) polycarbonate greenhouse. After performing research about Greenhouses, we choose the Janssen Greenhouse, manufactured in Belgian. We live in the mountains of Northern Colorado where we get strong winds, and the temperature fluctuates.

The construction, the manufactured metal pieces, the use of removable and adjustable rubber gaskets to hold 10mm panels (other use 4 or 5mm) instead of silicone glue all made this a superior choice. There is an option for painted metal work. We choose black because it compliments the color of our home.

We choose the Janssen because it came with an engineering certification for wind resistance. It can theoretically stand up to 125 MPH gust for 3 seconds. Its reviews seemed positive and Greenhouse Emporium, one of the U.S. direct sales organizations seemed very knowledgeable. The only other real choice for us was a custom-made greenhouse which is not built as well as the Janssen.

There are many U.S. based sales organizations that sell Janssen. It appears all of the orders funnel through a Texas based company called Exaco, who is the importer and distributer. At the time, we did not know that Exaco is the service and support for the Greenhouse.

Greenhouse Emporiums staff were knowledgeable, patient and offered suggestions that led us to the Janssen model Vi36, which is a 10’X20’ Greenhouse. We choose the 10-millimeter polycarbonate panels because they insulate better than glass and are more forgiving against hail storms. Polycarbonate does cut back a bit on the sunshine, but we get plenty of that at 5,250 foot altitude.

After placing the order with Greenhouse Emporium, we were told it would take a few months. The order shipped to us directly from Exaco in four large pieces. A forklift is required to maneuver the pieces from where the freight truck dropped them on our driveway to the inside of the garage. One piece was 22 feet long. The Janssen manual, which can be downloaded from the Greenhouse emporium website has the weights of the four packages for the model that you purchase. The delivery date and the communication from the freight service were excellent so we had a neighbor on-call with his forklift.

Opening the packages was both exciting and frightening. So many parts. The parts must be visually matched to the manual to be able to assemble. The packages took up one slot of a three-car garage. Once we opened and laid out the parts they took up one or two of the other slots depending on the build that day.

Advice

Read the entire manual before the Greenhouse arrives. Watch the Janssen YouTube video. Then watch it again. I kept the YouTube available on an old iPad and referred to it often during the assembly.

We choose to mount the greenhouse to a cement foundation wall filled with 6 inches of pea gravel. The manual has clear instructions on what is required. Translating the requirement to local cement contractors to get bids was a challenge.

The design, manufacturing, engineering, and quality were superb. My Wife and I, who are both 70, assembled the Greenhouse without any additional assistance. It is hard to say how long because of weather and normal interruptions. Over the space of two weeks, it was erected and ready to begin planting. We tried to divide the workload into logical pieces that could be done a day at a time. Foundation, Roof supports and roof struts, ceiling panels, wall panels, doors…

We made quite a few calls, some in sheer panic to Exaco and Greenhouse Emporium. Mostly about where is this or that part, how do you do this or that. Exaco has a team of support specialists available seven days a week. Amazing. We could not have built this without them.

As soon as the roof was filled in with Poly panels, we discovered our first real challenge. The outside temperature was 85 degrees, and the inside temperature became 110 degrees! That is without the walls.

At first, we did not think we were going to need the curtain and misting system. They are there for a reason, install them.

After researching online and speaking with Exaco and Greenhouse Emporium we purchased a 20” exhaust fan. Thanks to Greenhouse Emporium, the fan came right away which allowed us to install it in the side of the Greenhouse by cutting down one panel and using an extra strut.

Supplementing the fan, we ordered an evaporative cooler online. As the days became warmer, we bought a second evaporative cooler so there is a unit on each end. Using the fan coolers and drawing the shades we can keep the Greenhouse 10-15 degrees cooler than outside. Activating the misting system drops the inside temperature by 5 degrees. The fan pulls air in thru the shutters that came with the greenhouse and out thru the fan on the opposite end of the greenhouse.

Colorado being Colorado, the temperature went from 85-90 degrees to a three-inch snowstorm in March. That meant heating the Greenhouse so the delicate seedlings would not perish. We bought a Bio Green PAL 110V heater. It is made for Greenhouses and can withstand the humidity and occasional splash of water. It is equipped with a digital temperature sensor and remote probe.

As the nights became progressively colder, going down to 40 degrees, we bought a second Bio Green heater. One for each end just like the evaporative coolers. We plan on purchasing the 220V version for the winter. We want to aim at keeping the inside temperature no colder than 50 degrees to grow year-round.

We have already had 50 MPH gusts that blew in the direction of the broadside of the Greenhouse. It was solid. Neither the supporting structure or panels moved. We have had downpours of rain. Almost no penetration of rain.

My Wife and I enjoy going into the greenhouse every morning to see which plant has new buds or new vegetables. The first round of vegetables we started in the Greenhouse include tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers (four kinds), strawberries, and various herbs. The greenhouse is already producing more veggies than the two of us can eat. Big win for our neighbors and family.

Tips and Hints

The manual from Janssen is very detailed, but there are still surprises. Exaco has rewritten the manual to make it easier to use.

Do not be afraid to call for help, the Exaco support team are very patient. They have several people that g out I the field and will assemble a greenhouse for you, at a price. Because they are hands on people, they know where the tough spots are.

If you find that later in the build you missed adding seven bolts to the foundation or 13 plastic curtain attachments to the upper roof foundation, like we did, it is possible to carefully drill ½” holes and insert them later. Look for references to those two items in the manual. They are for the door frames and the curtain sliders.

When you order with Greenhouse Emporium, order a bag of ‘T’ Bolts. There are used to add attach things to the tracks of the vertical and horizontal supports of the greenhouse, like fan controls or thermostats.

Having automatic openers for the roof windows and glass shutter seemed like a good idea. We ran into a couple of issues. When the heater was running at night, the warm air rose, and the opener thought it was 70 degrees and opened. On warm windy days, having the roof window open in the direction of the wind gusts did not seem like a good idea. We ordered manual crank openers for the windows that came equipped with automatic openers. The same issues occurred for the automatic shutter opener. Our shutter faces East, so the morning sun warmed up the opener and it opened despite it being 50 degrees outside. Face it, a Greenhouse is not an ‘automatic’ operation. It needs love and care. Having manual windows was no problem at all for us.

Installing the poly panels - We found wearing cheap nitrile coated nylon gloves gave us the grip we need to handle the panels and install the rubber gasket. The panels are about 26” wide. We are concerned about being able to reach across the panel to press the gasket into place. A tall ladder solved that problem. Get up higher than the panels so you can bend forward to press the gasket into the groove.

The rubber gaskets – use the gloves described above if for no other reason than because the gaskets are oily. They install easier in warm weather than cold weather. While installing them, the weather turned cold, we put a pre-cut strip inside of a 2” PVC tube and blew warm air into the tube until the gasket was pliable, then quickly installed the piece.

Electricity – You will have to run electric to the greenhouse or install solar panels outside of it to run the fans, heaters, lights, pumps, etc. We have two 110V lines and one 220V line into the greenhouse. If you are in a colder climate, you can consider electric versus gas heat.

We installed an 8-foot-wide shade on the south facing end of the greenhouse. It cuts out 80% of the sunlight. On very hot days, we draw all the shades at 1:00. That has not interfered with the growth of the plants.

We investigated thermal earth buried cooling/heating lines. The return on investment did not make sense to us. You will still need to heat and cool the greenhouse using electric or gas.

We thought the roof vents would exhaust the hot air or pull the hot air from the top of the greenhouse out thru the fan. We found, in our climate, the side shutter/side fan works best, we will keep the roof vents closed for the summer.

Automatic watering – we installed a drip system, but never use it. Maybe if we travel and are away for days at a time. Part of the pleasure of owning a greenhouse is spending time inside of it. Tending to the plants, trimming, fertilizing, watering is part of the experience.

A big thank you to the team at Greenhouse Emporium and Exaco.

Colorado Royal Victorian VI 34 Glass Greenhouse Owners

Feel free to pass on our recommendation of the Victorian Greenhouse as we LOVE ours. I think we've had it for 5 years and it was one of the best investments we've made. Living in Colorado, I do not use it during the winter months, however I usually utilize it between April and November. It has held up fabulously through all the storms Colorado has had, including the cyclone blizzard which was centered in Elizabeth Colorado where we are. I've never seen a storm quite like that one. I think the only maintenance we've done on it was to replace the shade curtain hooks from sun rot.

My husband and son set it up in a day, after the foundation was poured, as we have it anchored to concrete. The location of our greenhouse is truly in the middle of a field with little to no protection from the elements.

I remember us struggling on deciding to purchase it when we couldn't touch it also. For us, it was a lot of money to put out for something we could only see pictures of. There hasn't be a day that I regretted our decision. I would purchase another in a heartbeat.

Yes! I recommend this product.

Our vi34 Storm Survivor

Wanted to share a survival story of our (vi34) greenhouse. We just got pounded with apple size hail in a severe unexpected storm. Attached are a couple pictures of the hail – it looks like big Covid – and a picture of the green house intact after the storm. One of our cars was damaged and we need to have the house roof inspected, but not one crack in the glass greenhouse. Amazing.

Yes! I recommend this product.

My Fun Fantastic Greenhouse

This is by far one of the most rewarding projects I have taken on!!! I have always wanted a greenhouse and when I saw this one...I spent a week doing research, and bought it. I got a late start on it so I built the frame and mounted on a concrete slab (not necessary...I just wanted it) it was too late to install the glass...so I waited for the first nice spring day and finished it off. Had great help from Andrew and staff...thank you. This is my second year with it and I totally love it!! I'm in Wisconsin so it's not practical for use in the winter other then setting it up to soak up the warmth on a nice sunny day and read a book with a glass of wine in a tee-shirt...even if it's 0 degrees!!!

Yes! I recommend this product.

LOVE LOVE LOVE MY GREENHOUSE!!!

I have had my Royal Victorian 10 x 15 Greenhouse for 9 months now and still absolutely love it!!! I live in Colorado near the foothills and we experience high winds, which is why I chose this particular greenhouse. So far it has stood up to the winds without fail!! I would recommend this Greenhouse (and Exaco Trading) to everyone!! You get personal service and they CARE about you and your purchase. I also paid extra to have it put together for me. For me it was all money well spent!!

Yes! I recommend this product.

Excellent greenhouse professional quality.

I purchased the vi23 two years ago and could not be more pleased. I have a very small yard would buy the biggest possible otherwise. I am a retired Horticulturist and have owned the double wall polycarbonate and aluminum in past. This product adds beauty and function with lasting quality to your home landscape. The staff were unbelievably helpful and prompt in service. The packaging of the greenhouse was top notch with no problems and the set up was quit basic as well, with the help of my carpenter Before the greenhouse arrived I received a phone call From Andrew Cook to make sure I had all the information I needed and he gave me tips and explanations to help assembly. I have a greenhouse that will last for many years. I live in Memphis Tennessee our zone is a 7b. I have added two small "dairy" type electric heaters , Lights and fan. I added the accessories kit when I purchased. The shade cloth is invaluable here in the mid-south.

Yes! I recommend this product.

Kathy T | 5/31/2016


What is the UV percentage of your shade cloth?

Jean Morgan | 1/23/23

Hello Jean,

Thank you for reaching out. The shadecloth provides 60% shade and is UV protected for longer lifespan.

Do you need to install on concrete foundation or can you install on 6x6 pressure treated Timbers?

Matt Spinelli | 5/18/22

Hello

The recommendations from the factory is to anchor into a concrete perimeter wall that goes down to the frost line. That being said - we've had people anchor in a variety of different manners including only concrete at the corners and timbers. The greenhouse does need proper anchoring to sustain wind and weather.

A couple things to note about using wood:

  • It is recommended to place a barrier between the greenhouse frame and any pressure treated wood
  • Even pressure treated wood can decay over time, so there is a chance that your timbers may decay much sooner than what would be considered the life expectancy of the greenhouse.

Here is a link to our manual. On page 3 it gives some considerations for planning the foundation/anchoring.

Thank You,
Claudia - Customer Service

I’m wondering if you could advise on a size (BTU) heater I would need for my size greenhouse in my climate?

Tristan Throgmorton | 8/4/2020

Sorry – the answer is not that simple. For one thing I do not know your climate. You will have to tell me. And next: how warm do you want to keep it in side: over wintering outdoor plants requires less heat than, orchids or growing form seeds during the winter.

Secondly, it greatly depends on what you are doing with your greenhouse – for example the more plants the fuller it is the more natural heat is retained and generated. There is a big different between half full and full: can make 10-15º difference. Large raised beds are a great heat generator.

Another option is: to use 1 or 2 large open troughs – 70 gal. + (full with water) (from say Tractor Supply) – these to can add 10-15º at night. And at the same time they offer additional humidity during the cold winter months.

One of our major customers offers the following calculator: http://igctest.commercev3.com/greenhouse_btu_calculator

Generally you will need to experiment.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance at customerservice@exaco.com or 877-760-8500 ext. 701

Thanks, Customer Support


Is it possible to order the Victorian greenhouse with two doors?

Yes, it is possible to add additional doors to a Royal Victorian. With the Royal Victorian, the doors can be placed in any of the window bays – except the corners. With this in mind, you can place an additional door in a different location than the original door – or you can also place it next to the first door to give you a full double door opening (without a middle support bar). Additionally, we also have turning/hinged doors available as an upgrade as well. The hinged doors are a very high quality addition and come with a lock. They can be placed as single door or double doors.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance at customerservice@exaco.com or 877-760-8500 ext. 701

Thanks, Customer Support


Is the VI 36 available in Polycarbonate? Or will it be soon?

Larry | 11/12/2016

UPDATE: vi34 and vi36 now available with 10mm Twin Wall Polycarbonate windows instead of glass. No more need to special order this option.

Hello, Thank you for visiting our website. We do not stock the Victorian greenhouses with polycarbonate on a regular basis. Currently they are still on a special order basis. They are more expensive than the glass version. If you need to place a special order please contact us at customerservice@exaco.com or 877-760-8500 ext. 701 Thanks, Customer Support


I do not see a place for an exhaust fan, nor see it as optional equipment, is one not needed for the Royal Victorian VI34?

Approximately how long does it take to assemble the vi23?

Bren | 9/7/2016

One and a half days.


Can an extra door be ordered with the kit? What if I need parts in years to come, do I have to wait for Belgium to ship them? Also, I guess you can't substitute a poly twin wall roof for this?

ESEE | 8/18/2016

Hello, Yes we have extra doors in stock for the VI34. We carry parts and will continue to carry them for years to come. We sell a full polycarbonate version of the Vi34, but of you are interested in just the Poly roof give us a call and maybe we can work something out.

Can more than one greenhouse be connected together?

StacyDB | 7/29/2016

Hello, There is no provision to connect the Victorian Greenhouses together. You could however build them end to end and seal the gap between the two frames with some foam.

Do you sell tray benches as well. I am interested in the 10x 15 Royal Victorian Glass Green house and was wondering if you made 4 ft. by 15 ft benches for it as an accessory.

Mike | 7/13/2016

Hello, We do not have a 4x15 seed tray for the Royal Vi34. The seed tray that we carry is 20" x 15'.
