Hoklartherm RIGA XL Greenhouse (Multiple Sizes Available)

The RIGA XL is truly a greenhouse by the European definition of a greenhouse - designed to be used to grow fresh vegetables, herbs and flowers in the middle of winter. Other “greenhouses” using less than 8 mm twin-wall polycarbonate are considered to be Season Extenders, to be used when only a slight night frost might be expected during the spring or fall season. At best, they can only be used to house established plants during the winter season.

Why Choose RIGA XL?

  • The RIGA XL Greenhouse is designed, engineered, and manufactured in Germany by Hoklartherm, a leading manufacturer of commercial and hobby greenhouses, sunrooms, pavilions, pool covers, home additions, and commercial building, with 28 years experience.
  • With a combination of strong materials and durable hardware, the RIGA XL Greenhouse is an exceptionally strong greenhouse.
  • The RIGA XL Greenhouse offers more window and door ventilation than other units in its class.
  • The 16mm triple-wall polycarbonate glazing on the RIGA XL Greenhouse is German-made and believed to be of superior quality than the much more common Polygal or GE glazing.
  • One major advantage of the RIGA XL's construction method is that the frame profiles are permanently attached to each other, and won't come loose over time due to wind pressures.
  • German engineering - guaranteed top quality!
  • Optional Shelving: Seedtray/Bench shelf and top shelf are available with strong diagonal support braces – can hold a 160 pound man! Twin-wall polycarbonate shelf inserts can be removed to allow for tall plants such as tomatoes or beans or to allow insertion of heavy-duty seed trays. This greenhouse can flex to your gardening needs throughout the year.
  • The RIGA XL Greenhouse is attractive and beautiful to look at – fits well in to an upscale garden setting.
  • Buying a greenhouse is like buying a car, they vary in cost from cheap to very expensive, the RIGA XL is a class similar to a Volkswagen/Volvo – stronger, more durable and better insulated, and offers many more features than the better selling brands.
  • The RIGA XL Greenhouse offers the insulation needed to grow plants year-round – others using less insulation cost too much to heat.
  • RIGA XL Greenhouse units are available in 5 sizes.
  • We recommend you buy one size bigger than you planned.
  • Animated Assembly Video and Assembly Instructions, along with US-based technical and customer support from Exaco.
  • Made in Germany

Last year's tomato crop in my west Riga XL

The 2017 tomato crop was the must successful I've ever had. Our first harvest was April 30, and a plentiful supply continued until January 4. From the two Rigas we harvested close to 700 pounds of tomatoes, some of which were consumed fresh and most of which were juiced, canned, dried, or otherwise preserved for winter use. The indeterminate plants in the west greenhouse were each more than 26 feet long when I removed them in January.

I tried a new approach for plant support in the west Riga. I've included a succession of pictures taken through the 2017 season showing the progress. I hope you find them interesting.

Great piece of engineering, highly recommended.

This is not a cheap slap together greenhouse from China. This is a well engineered and very sturdy greenhouse. Materials are top shelf. You get what you pay for.

The customer service from Exaco is absolutely first rate. They have an assembly video that is 3D and makes the assembly so much better than just reading instructions from paper sheets. I used the two in conjunction, but mostly the video, and it went together well. When I had questions about anything these guys were right on top of it.

I put together a sub $3000 greenhouse imported from China a few years ago and there is no comparison. This German made greenhouse kit is pretty amazing.

If you want something that will last, this is the one I recommend.

Top-Quality greenhouse that fills our need entirely.

One of the most solidly-constructed greenhouses I've seen. Customer service at Exaco was well beyond the 'call of duty". They helped thru the entire process, even after the structure was completed and stocked with plants.

Yes! I recommend this product.

Different Shelving Material

We purchased our first Riga in 2005 and we really like the clear shelving that came with it. It was strong and we could put plants underneath and they still got the light. We purchased a Riga XL in 2015 and the new shelves are white, don't hold as much weight, had to be cut down to fit in the framing and have to be removed completely when growing plants underneath them. Other than this we have really enjoyed the durability and craftmanship as well as the design. Andrew and staff were very knowledgeable and readily accessible for any problems that came up in raising the roof! We have offered to use ours as a model in the area we live for others to view.

Yes! I recommend this product.

Great product and best support I've ever seen.

I looked for a large greenhouse for a year. My wife and I choose the Riga XL because of the size and style. Best of all, we are super happy with the quality of the greenhouse and the support we got from Andrew and his team. I'm 63 and my wife is a little younger. We were able to put it together by ourselves with the great advice we got from Andrew. It took time, and at times was a little frustrating, but it was well worth it. When we ran into problems, Andrew solved the problems quickly and without question about whose fault it was. If I were to buy another greenhouse, The Riga and Andrew would be my first and only choice.

Yes! I recommend this product.

Do any of the RIGA XL come with double doors?

Nick | 1/7/2020

The Riga XL Greenhouses do not have a double door option – only a front door and back door. The door opening is quite large at 37.5” x 74”.

If I plan to build a concrete footing to support the XL 5, is there an advantage to using the aluminum foundation?

Larry | 11/8/2016

Larry, the foundation frame is an optional item but if you get it you do not need a perimeter wall made of concrete. Different retailers sell it different ways - some include the foundation frame in their kits. The original Costco kit is the best deal. Costco dropped it but it is now available from several of our other retailers.

I am trying to get permits for the Riga XL to be in my yard in the city. They say they need a snow load rating and wind rating. Are those available for this model at all?

I've had my Riga XL greenhouse for about a year. As the weather has gotten warmer (over 100 inside the greenhouse) the vents at the top are not opening as they have done in the past. Any suggestions how to get them working again?
