10x8 Greenhouse
There is no 10 ft x 8 ft frame in this catalog, and pretending otherwise would put a wrong dimension on your freight order. Here are the two real sizes either side of it, with the actual numbers.
We do not make a 10 ft x 8 ft greenhouse. The closest sizes we build are 10 ft x 6.5 ft at 65 sq ft and 10 ft x 13 ft at 130 sq ft - 80 sq ft falls in the gap between them. Both are below with their real growing space so you can pick the one that fits your site, rather than be handed the nearer one and told it is an 8.
10 ft x 6.5 ft
65 sq ft of growing space
15 sq ft less than the 80 sq ft you searched for.
The compact walk-in. Full 10 ft width, Dutch door at each end, bench runs down both sides.

130 sq ft of growing space
50 sq ft more than the 80 sq ft you searched for.
The step up most owners end up wishing they had taken. Benches both sides, a real centre aisle and a free end wall.
See 10 ft wide greenhousesWhich of the two you should take
Take the 10 ft x 6.5 ft if the space is genuinely tight - a narrow side yard, a small city lot, a spot boxed in by a fence and a driveway. Sixty-five square feet is a serious propagation house: one full bench run down each side, room for seed trays through spring, and enough covered space to overwinter a tender collection. What it will not give you is a comfortable aisle with both benches loaded, or floor space for tall crops in containers.
Take the 10 ft x 13 ft if the pad will take it. It is the size most owners of a small greenhouse say they wish they had bought. The extra 6.5 ft is one more bench module and a working end wall, and it is the cheapest length you will ever buy - the doors, the width and the frame profile are already paid for.
| Size | Growing space | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 10 ft x 6.5 ft | 65 sq ft | Propagation and overwintering. Bench runs both sides, narrow aisle. |
| 8.3 ft x 13 ft (Gable) | 108 sq ft | The answer to an 8 ft wide search. Straight walls, full-height benches. |
| 10 ft x 13 ft | 130 sq ft | Benches both sides, real centre aisle, potting corner. |
If it is the 8 ft that matters, not the 10
A lot of 10x8 searches are really 8x10 searches - people who want an eight-foot-wide greenhouse and typed the numbers in the other order. If that is you, the Gable Series is the right family: 8.3 ft wide with straight walls and a gable roof, at 6.5 ft, 13 ft and longer. The 8.3 ft x 13 ft comes out at 108 sq ft, which is about as close to a true 8x13 as anything on the market.
Straight walls matter more at 8 ft than at 10 ft. On an arched frame the usable bench width narrows as the roof curves in; a straight-walled gable keeps full height right out to the edge, which is where the bench sits.
Why there is nothing at 80 sq ft
These frames are manufactured in metric lengths - 2 m, 4 m, 6 m and up - so on a 10 ft wide house the available footprints step 65, 130, 195, 260 sq ft. Eighty square feet falls in the gap between the first two, and there is no frame that lands on it.
We could label the 6.5 ft unit as a 10x8 and quietly hope you did not measure. Some sellers do. It is a false dimension on a freight order you cannot easily return, so instead the page shows you both real sizes and the actual numbers.
10x8 greenhouse questions
Do you sell a 10x8 greenhouse?
No. We do not build a 10 ft x 8 ft frame. The closest sizes we build are 10 ft x 6.5 ft at 65 sq ft and 10 ft x 13 ft at 130 sq ft. Both are shown above with their real square footage so you can choose rather than be sold the nearer one.
Is 65 sq ft big enough to stand and work in?
Yes. It is full 10 ft width and roughly 7 ft at the peak, so you have standing headroom and benches on both sides. What you lose against the 13 ft is length, not comfort - the aisle gets busy once both benches are loaded.
I want an 8 ft wide greenhouse, not 10 ft. What fits?
The Gable Series is 8.3 ft wide with straight walls and a gable roof. At 13 ft long that is 108 sq ft. Straight walls keep full height out to the bench edge, which matters more at 8 ft of width than at 10 ft.
What is included in the price?
The frame, glazing panels, both Dutch doors, hardware and the assembly manual, plus curbside freight to the lower 48. Foundation materials, anchors and interior benching are not included.
