A roll-off roof observatory is the ideal observatory for your own garden or for club observatories. In the form of a "hut", it blends inconspicuously and aesthetically into the landscape, but when the roof is rolled off, it offers the best sky view imaginable!
Other advantages of the roll-off roof observatory:
- A roll-off roof hut not only protects your equipment, but also shields you from unwanted glare from the neighbourhood and cold wind. The hut is also easily accessible and provides enough room for you to stand upright without hitting your head.
- Unlike a slit-dome design, a roll-off roof hut will not obstruct your field of view. With the roof rolled off, you have a view of the entire sky.
- The hut provides plenty of storage space and room for a table or other furniture. The porch of the hut can be appealingly furnished.
The high-end GreenLine roll-off roof observatory opens up new possibilities for your own garden or roof observatory. GreenLine roll-off roof observatories offer sufficient space for telescopes with an aperture of up to 20 inches.
The GreenLine observatory can be ordered in different sizes and with different features. The easily retractable roof simultaneously lowers the rear wall to ensure an optimal view of the horizon.
The GreenLine Big roll-top observatory offers a space of 2.75 x 2.75 metres and is suitable for telescopes with an aperture of up to 16 inches.
The wood is not impregnated or varnished.
You can order the observatory in its basic version or with wood protection for an additional €1,765
The fire-retardant wood treatment also protects against insects (especially termites and xylophages) and fungus.
Additional options are:
- Extra room for warming up or as storage space in front of the observatory, including sliding door: Price: £1,850
- Extra door. Price: £450
- Storm protection complete with support rods and mounting materials. Price: £265
All variants of the rolling roof observatories GreenLine:
- All observatories are supplied with a temporary roof coating that serves as a base for the actual roof covering, which is not included in the scope of delivery. The covering could be bitumen, bitumen shingles, sheet metal, PVC or similar.
- All observatories come with sliding doors for safety reasons.
There are two different motorised roof controls: semi-automatic or fully automatic. You will find both versions in the recommended accessories. We strongly advise you to decide on one of the two solutions when purchasing, as retrofitting or modification is very costly.

Our expert comment:
We recommend purchasing the observatory with a roof drive. You will find solutions for this in the recommended accessories.
Retrofitting a motor is very costly, so you should decide whether or not you want a motor when purchasing the observatory.
