Mythos Greenhouse

Short on space but keen to grow? The Mythos Greenhouse from Palram – Canopia is the ideal starter greenhouse, designed to fit smaller backyards, patios and tight corners without skimping on quality. At just 6 ft wide, it’s the compact member of the Palram range — yet it’s built with the same rust-resistant aluminium frame and virtually unbreakable twin-wall polycarbonate panels that make these greenhouses such a popular choice. It’s the easy, affordable way to start growing earlier in spring and keep going later into autumn.

The Mythos is glazed with 4mm twin-wall polycarbonate on the roof and sides. These panels diffuse sunlight for soft, even light and steadier temperatures, block up to 100% of harmful UV, and won’t fracture, yellow or cloud over time — so your plants are well protected season after season. A heavy-duty galvanised steel base is included for a stable, durable footing.

Why Choose the Mythos Greenhouse

The Mythos is all about quality growing in a small footprint. Its compact 6 ft width fits where larger greenhouses won’t, while still giving you comfortable headroom inside. Practical features come standard: an adjustable roof vent helps release heat and keep air moving, integrated rain gutters channel water away, and a lockable door with a magnetic catch keeps it secure and easy to use. The lightweight polycarbonate panels make assembly straightforward, and the whole greenhouse can even be disassembled and relocated if you move or rearrange your garden. Available in silver or forest green to suit your space.

H2: Mythos vs Essence vs Glory — Which Palram Greenhouse?

All three share rust-resistant aluminium frames and polycarbonate glazing, with the difference coming down to size and insulation. The Mythos is the compact 6 ft-wide starter, perfect for small spaces and first-time growers. The Essence steps up to 8 ft wide with more room. The Glory is the premium option, with thicker 10mm insulated glazing and a 10-year warranty for serious year-round growing. If you’re starting out or short on space, the Mythos is the ideal entry point.

H2: Siting and Setting Up

Place your greenhouse on a solid, level, well-drained base in a sunny spot — Palram recommends concrete, pressure-treated timber, a wood deck or paver blocks. Orient the longer side toward the sun’s path for even light. A compact greenhouse like this usually won’t need council approval, but it’s always worth checking for any local restrictions before you build. For siting and orientation guidance, the Australian Government’s Your Home guide is helpful, and the Bureau of Meteorology can help you plan around local sun, wind and frost.

H2: What to Grow

Even at a compact size, the Mythos lets you grow plenty — seedlings, herbs, leafy greens, tomatoes and flowers — and extend your season at both ends. For season-by-season advice tailored to Australian climates, Gardening Australia is an excellent, trusted resource.
