Design Flexibility Of Our Greenhouses

Painting: All our greenhouses include a wet baked enamel paint in your choice of white, Hartford Green or Rideau Brown. Custom colors such as black, tan, grey or other colors to meet your specifications are also available.

Doors:

• Standard doors are either 26`` or 32``wide depending on green house model. Upgrading to a 36``wide door is an option for wheelchair accessibility. Double door upgrades are also available allowing for a larger opening. Custom sizes can be built. Double doors are also available. All doors swing to the exterior of the greenhouse.
• The included door and additional doors can be accommodated in the gable ends or sidewalls.
• Doors can swing left or right for personal preference. All doors swing to the exterior of the greenhouse.
• The door can be dropped lower than the rest of the frame at no additional cost if the frame is raised on a foundation. This gives more height in the greenhouse.

Vents: Optional side vents, louvers, or additional roof vents can be added to any greenhouse for added passive ventilation. Exhaust fan systems can be added and are common in larger greenhouses and warmer climates.

Mix and Match: Our four various glazing systems can be interchanged with each other to suit your needs. Example: a glass greenhouse can have a polycarbonate roof. This will help heat insulation and diffuse harmful sun rays in the summer while maintaining the clear walls for visibility.

Additional Length: Don`t feel restricted in your current greenhouse. Additional length can be added at any time in the future to accommodate more plants for a growing hobby.

Custom: If you have a pre-existing foundation, restricted yard or a creative idea you`d like to bring to life, as a manufacturer, we are able to modify our greenhouses.

• We can offer custom lengths, widths, and roof slopes.
• Gable ends can be removed and built to anchor an existing building.
• All our glass greenhouses come standard with tempered glass for added safety. Laminated glass is available as an option.

• We offer various glass tinting options.
