Outsunny 6x8 Walk-In Greenhouse
The Outsunny 6x8 Walk-In Greenhouse is a value-oriented, easy-to-assemble option aimed at hobby gardeners who want more growing area without a high upfront cost. Its lower price point makes it a smart financial choice against premium offerings like Palram or the larger Planta Sungrow, though it trades off some longevity and structural stiffness compared with Rion’s engineered panels. If budget and simple installation are your priorities, Outsunny delivers the best cost-per-square-foot among the mid-sized portable greenhouses here.

Planta Sungrow 10x20 Greenhouse
The Planta Sungrow 10x20 Greenhouse is a large-format, production-oriented structure designed for small commercial or serious hobbyist growers who need maximum growing area and professional-grade ventilation options. Its financial justification comes from higher productive capacity per dollar for market growers compared with smaller portable models like Palram, Outsunny, or Gardman; however, that scale also brings higher initial cost and site preparation. For anyone scaling beyond hobby gardening, Planta Sungrow’s footprint and airflow control make it the leader for intensive seasonal production.
