Verdict

YourGreenhouses Scandiglas: very good, 8.5/10

The Scandiglas is the glass greenhouse of our list, and a lovely one: tempered safety glass with up to 95% light, a powder-coated aluminum frame rated for 115 mph, a base kit in the box and a 12-year structural warranty. It was $6,999 on November 12, 2026 (Black Friday, against $11,699 listed). It ranks mid-table because glass insulates less than thick twin-wall, no snow load is published and it is the most expensive per square foot.

Buy it if

  • You want the look and light of glass
  • Your garden is windy
  • You treat the greenhouse as a garden room as much as a growing space

Skip it if

  • You want the most growing space per dollar
  • You need a published snow rating for a snowy region

Why glass

Nothing looks like a glass greenhouse. The Scandiglas uses tempered safety glass, which YourGreenhouses calls "7x stronger" than standard panes, with up to 95% light transmission. Glass never yellows, so year ten looks like year one. It is the greenhouse you put a chair in, as much as a bench of seedlings.

Light is the upside. The downside is warmth: a single pane of glass insulates less than 6 to 10 mm twin-wall polycarbonate, so it cools faster on clear nights. Our panel score reflects that.

Wind and warranty

YourGreenhouses rates the Scandiglas at 115 mph of wind, the highest figure on our list by a long way, on a powder-coated aluminum frame. The structural warranty is 12 years, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. A base kit for anchoring to soil or concrete is included. What is missing is a published snow load, which costs it points in our formula; if you get heavy snow, ask the brand before you buy.

Size and comfort

The size we priced is 7 ft 9 in by 12 ft 7 in, 97 sq ft, with 92 in (7 ft 8 in) at the peak and 70 in walls, so you stand comfortably right up to the benches. It has a sliding door and one roof window; an automatic opener costs $139 extra. YourGreenhouses offers ten sizes from 60 to 203 sq ft.

Price and delivery

On November 12, 2026, YourGreenhouses listed this size at $6,999 as a Black Friday price against $11,699, and said the price holds until the current production batch sells out. It showed shipping in about four weeks at this size, with free US heavy-freight delivery. Tempered glass needs careful handling during assembly; take your time and a second pair of hands.

The good and the catch

What we like, and what to know

  • Tempered safety glass, up to 95% light transmission
  • 115 mph wind rating, the highest on our list
  • 12-year structural warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee
  • Base kit for soil or concrete included
  • Glass never yellows

The catch: About $72 per square foot even at the Black Friday price, no published snow load, and glass holds less heat than 6 to 10 mm twin-wall polycarbonate.

Where these figures come from

YourGreenhouses Scandiglas: questions

Is a glass greenhouse better than polycarbonate?
Glass gives more light (up to 95% here) and never yellows; twin-wall polycarbonate insulates better and costs less. For winter growing on a budget, polycarbonate wins. For light, looks and longevity, glass.
How strong is the Scandiglas in wind?
YourGreenhouses rates it at 115 mph, the highest wind figure on our list.
Does the Scandiglas come with a base?
Yes, a base kit for anchoring to soil or concrete is included, per YourGreenhouses.
