If you purchased the Riga V greenhouse without the base kit and now need to add it, this is the correct product to order (note: separate shipping charges apply when ordered independently).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the foundation frame required for the Riga V?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA proper foundation is strongly recommended for structural integrity, stability, and warranty compliance. The foundation frame is the recommended solution for soil or lawn installations. If you are installing on an existing concrete pad, you may not need this frame — contact us to confirm the right foundation approach for your site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the foundation frame add headroom inside the greenhouse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the Riga V foundation frame raises the greenhouse by 6 inches, giving you additional interior height compared to a ground-level installation. This is a meaningful benefit for tall growers or for hanging baskets and vertical growing setups inside the Riga V’s already generous 7'7\" peak height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow deep does the trench need to be?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe required trench depth depends on your local frost line and soil conditions. Refer to your Riga V installation instructions or contact us for the recommended trench depth for your climate zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install the foundation frame myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the installation process (dig trench, position frame, backfill, attach greenhouse) is designed for DIY completion. Having two people is recommended for frame positioning and alignment given the Riga V’s larger footprint (116\" × 206\"). Refer to your Riga V installation instructions for specific guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is free shipping only available when purchased with a greenhouse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe foundation frame ships free when ordered together with a Riga V greenhouse because it can be included in the same freight shipment. When ordered separately, it ships as a standalone item and an additional shipping charge applies due to its size and weight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Exaco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59517643620638,"sku":"RIGA-V-BASE","price":1749.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1802\/5246\/files\/Riga_Base_Foundation_3.webp?v=1786480930","url":"https:\/\/rigagreenhousekit.com\/products\/foundation-frame-for-riga-v","provider":"Riga Greenhouses","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
