Installing a Drop Door with the Victorian Greenhouse is a popular upgrade which provides more upward space for growing while still allowing easy access for moving equipment in and out. Wholesalers can learn more about the Drop Door and other accessories for the Victorian Greenhouses by viewing our dealer price list.
Here you see standard cinder blocks being used to raise the surface of the foundation on which the vi34 will rest.

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.

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.

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

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.

Is it possible to order the Victorian greenhouse with two doors?
Bob Smith | 3/6/2019
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.

Is the VI 36 available in Polycarbonate? Or will it be soon?
Larry | 11/12/2016
UPDATE: vi34 and vi36 now available with 10mm triple layer "X-Strong" 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.
Thanks, customerservice@exaco.com 877-760-8500 FREE ext. 701
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'.
