Palram Canopia Mythos 6x8 Greenhouse review

Households wanting a durable, unheated space to grow their own food and start seedlings year-round.

By Tom Rowland · Updated 20 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker

Our verdict
4.0 / 5

A sturdy, sensibly priced walk-in greenhouse whose twin-wall polycarbonate is far more forgiving than glass around children, pets and stray footballs. A solid, low-drama choice for growing more of your own food, provided you anchor it properly to a firm base.

Current price
£400.00

Approximate typical UK street price as of Jul 2026, from listings across GardenSite, Primrose, B&Q, Keen Gardener and Canopia UK. The silver/green base models sit around £370-400; the grey finish runs higher (~£440).

What we like
  • Twin-wall polycarbonate is near-unbreakable and diffuses light well, reducing scorch while blocking UV
  • Rust-resistant aluminium frame with a galvanised steel base and integrated guttering
  • Good value against a like-for-like aluminium-and-glass greenhouse, and safer to live with
Worth knowing
  • Assembly is slow and fiddly, with picture-only instructions and a fair few small parts
  • Panels can work loose or pop out in strong winds unless well sealed and anchored
