We’ve redesigned utilitarian components so they blend in, and added to its appeal with stylish touches throughout. From the decorative ridge finials and cast eaves corner joints to the ‘smoothline’ doors with their sophisticated latch/lock mechanism and luxury ‘floating’ handles, every aspect has been given detailed care and attention to make the Ultimate simply beautiful.

We’ve designed the Rhino Ultimate with perfectly balanced proportions, further strengthening the framework, while at the same time allowing us to create an even more visually pleasing greenhouse, with clean, uncluttered lines. 

The Rhino Ultimate has:

• Super strong box section aluminium frame
• Extra secure beaded glazing system
• Robust integral base – no need for brickwork
• Sturdy, smooth-running lockable doors
• Cast metal corner joints and gutter ends
• Larger, stronger eaves and ridge plates
• Stainless steel ridge brace brackets
• Larger aluminium gutters and downpipes

Built for ultimate elegance, each Rhino Ultimate features 'smoothline' doors which run on our ingenious, patented cantilever system. It’s effortless, durable and eliminates those long, unsightly support tracks you commonly see on other greenhouses.

With the Ultimate the doors also feature our innovative 'floating' handles, fixed through the large 4mm thick toughened safety glass panels, as well as a high quality key operated chrome lock.

Each 9ft Rhino Ultimate features 6 high quality Rhino five-blade louvre vents that 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. Better still, 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.

Adequate ventilation is absolutely crucial to successful growing under glass, and no greenhouse on the market has more ventilation than a Rhino. Better still, it's all included in the price.

Included in the price of this greenhouse are:

• 2 Large Triple Roof Vents
• 4 Automatic Roof Vent Openers
• Storm Locks

Our Rhino Ultimate greenhouses, like our Premium range, are fitted with as much roof ventilation as possible. Triple roof vents are fitted to make sure the maximum area is achieved. This means our Rhinos are the most ventilated greenhouses in their class on the market. And better still, all the roof vents are controlled by solar-powered automatic vent openers.

Each vent on our Rhino Ultimate greenhouses is fitted with a storm lock. These locks allow the vents to be secured down in high winds or bad weather conditions, making the entire structure airtight.

Our Rhino Ultimates come with a large double door configuration as standard, eliminating any potential access issues. When both doors are full open the gap measures 2ft 9ins (0.83 metres).

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.

With safety at the forefront of every Rhino, we've developed our combination glazing system. Perfect for exposed locations and families with young children and pets. 

Part 1 of our glazing system is the use of Rhino Tuff 4mm toughened safety glass. This safety glass is 33% thicker than most greenhouse glass and is supplied as standard with every Rhino. In the unlikely event that a pane is broken, the glass will shatter into thousands of tiny pieces rather than big shards which are far more likely to cause injury. Safety at every step is important to us, which is why even the edges of the glass are rounded so you don't cut yourself during installation. And with Grade A glass, you can achieve ultimate clarity for maximum light.

Part 2 of our 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.

A lot of greenhouses come with horticultural glass, flimsy W-clips and bar capping. When compared with the glazing that comes as standard on most greenhouses, the Rhino ranges come up trumps every time. With the smooth finish achieved by our glazing beads, you'll definitely prefer them to W-clips.

With gardeners in mind, every Rhino is fitted with two hanging basket rails. These rails are part of the roof, but don't worry they're still more than capable of handling the extra load. 

Using hanging basket rails is also a clever way to free up lots of space on your staging for other plants!

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.

Our Rhino greenhouses offer great flexibility when it comes to base options. 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. As long as it is level and fully compacted, in most situations soil is the perfect solution.

Alternatively, hardstanding bases are also suitable. As long as they're smooth and level, paving slabs, concrete bases and brick or block perimeter plinths can also be used.

More information regarding base preparation and base plans for Rhino greenhouses is also available.

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.
