Ready-to-Ship Cross Country
Some greenhouses are purely practical. Others are purely pretty. The Parkside is both. With its steep 12/12 roof pitch, decorative ridge cresting, and elegant base panels, it’s inspired by English garden design and backed by durable Cross Country engineering. The Parkside is an ideal solution for gardeners who want beauty, functionality, and strength—without the custom price tag.

The Parkside combines the durability and craftsmanship of a Cross Country greenhouse with thoughtful details that make gardening easier. The tall roof creates space for hanging baskets, climbing vines, and even small fruit trees. Its sharp pitch also sheds snow quickly in winter so sunlight can pour in.
The decorative base panels are more than just attractive trim. They protect the lower frame from lawn mower dings, hide potting soil bags and tools, and give the greenhouse a polished, finished look.

Laura from How’s it Growing uses her greenhouse to extend her gardening season in New Jersey, creating a cozy outdoor living space, and experiment with heat-loving plants. With added insulation and winter protection, she now grows citrus trees and amaryllis that bloom beautifully through the colder months. Check out her Google Review!
Unlike many greenhouses, The Parkside doesn’t require a costly concrete foundation. Most gardeners simply use a row of 4x4s to create a secure threshold, but you can also choose a concrete base if you prefer. The key is starting with a square, level foundation.
In most areas, a greenhouse of this size won’t require a building permit, but it’s always smart to check your local requirements before you begin. Once your foundation is ready, the pre-cut, pre-drilled frame kit comes together over a weekend with a few helping hands, so you can be planting in no time.

Reach out to our greenhouse experts who are happy to help you create your own made-to-order greenhouse.

When you work through an expert, you also have the option to reserve your greenhouse with a 25% deposit instead of paying in full upfront.
Like all Cross Country greenhouses, The Parkside is built for strength and withstands up to 32 lbs. of snow per square foot and winds up to 85 mph. Weather stripping helps maintain steady temperatures inside, while two solar-powered automatic roof vents keep fresh air circulating for healthy plants. Ideal for three-season growing in most climates, the Parkside is a fantastic season extender to grow earlier in the spring and longer through the fall.
And with a lifetime frame warranty and ten-year glazing warranty, you can count on your greenhouse to be a long-term part of your garden.
