Palram - Canopia Vent Kit Mythos/Hybrid Silver - Americana, Essence

Easy to put together and install.

A little hard to retrofit

Works well

This was a direct fit replacement for a part that was damaged by wind. The issue is that the plastic hardware (nuts?) that are supposed to attach the hinged locking arm are to small and dont fit in the trough snugly. This causes them to fall out if even a small gust of wind shakes the trapdoor or greenhouse.

Wondered why it's so expensive for a hinge? There's an additional surprise in the package. Included are two plastic replacements (new ribbed design) for the Palram greenhouse roof --never disclosed in the description. In the ad, it shows a hinge a center pull design. The directions are for a side pull hinge which would not be stable in high winds. Note: does not match the existing clear panels of last years Palram greenhouse. I only wanted a simple hinge to replace the Palram automatic one that started leaking oil after six months.Plus the hinge comes in multiple tiny pieces including weather stripping. (Why?) Nobody wanted to put it together. I don't need two new panels nor do I want to store them. The extra items explains the inflated price. Nice little bait and switch. If you're thrilled with the extra bonus items, great but I'm returning everything.

Product works great on our custom built greenhouse. Had to do a little tweaking but works good

Very easy to assemble AFTER chilling in the refrigerator. Automatically opens my greenhouse windows for ventilation. Great on sunny but chilly days. I don’t have to run out to manually open the windows.

Not difficult to install, easy replacement after the original window blew off. The whole greenhouse is built to go together, so install is quick
