At Rhino Greenhouses, we pride ourselves on providing some of the most sturdy and resilient greenhouses available on the market today. We design our greenhouses with longevity in mind, and with a real focus on ensuring they can stand up to the elements no matter what mother nature throws at them... even if that’s a category 4 hurricane.

It’s not every day you get a message from a customer expressing their delight at their greenhouse surviving a category 4 hurricane, but in October 2024, we had exactly that message!

Joseph Marini assembling his Rhino greenhouse

Joseph Marini, owner of popular blog, At Home With Joseph, installed a Rhino Greenhouse in his garden in Florida, USA. Joseph was looking for a greenhouse for his garden to serve as a focal point for creative endeavours but realised that having a greenhouse in Florida posed a significant risk, as the area is prone to regular hurricanes of varying severity. After extensive research, he found the Rhino Greenhouse had the highest wind-rating of any on the market, so he purchased a 6x8 Rhino Premium.

When the category 4 hurricane hit his Florida home in October 2024, Joseph feared the worst for his greenhouse, but his Rhino stood firm and didn’t suffer so much as a broken pane of glass!

Joseph Marini: “To my amazement and elation, there the greenhouse stood, with pride, after battling a category 4 hurricane. Not only did it successfully withstand the winds from that hurricane, but there was zero leakage of water inside.”
