Commercial Green House Kit

Building Made Easy With a Commercial Green House Kit

Green houses have come a long way since people nailed 2”x2” boards together to make a box, filled it with dirt and covered it with an old window. Today you can purchase a commercial green house kit of just about any shape and size.

Whether you’re a hobbyist, a professional grower or looking for a school project you can be sure you can find the commercial green house kit to suit your needs. From a small patio growing box to overly large commercial buildings, there’s a commercial green house kit for you.

More often commercial green house kit frames are made of aluminum or wood, however PVC frames are starting to creep into the mix as well. From the simple box with a pitched roof to the ones with a rounded roof, there are two basic features that do not change from style to style: They are made to let light in and designed to keep snow from building up on it and damaging the structure. Some just do both better than others.

Wall Material Varies by Preference

A commercial green house kit using glass walls, gives the benefit of allowing more natural light to enter the building for warmth in the winter, but it also produces more heat loss. Insulating it with clear plastic sheeting on the inside can help. Glass is usually 1/8” thick tempered glass to reduce the possibility of breakage during extreme temperature changes.

Two or three thicknesses of polycarbonate come with another style commercial green house kit and diffuse the sunlight as it enters. While polycarbonate tends to hold the heat better, it reduces natural night by about 20%.

There is also another commercial green house kit which is designed to be portable, which means it can be easily dismantled when not in use. The Germinator available from Greenhouse Kit.com, comes with a PVC frame and poly sheeting.

Other kits, provided mostly for the hobby grower, offer poly sheeting and aluminum frames to provide quality that can still meet the budgetary concerns of the homeowner.

Another advantage of buying a commercial green house kit is that they come in so many shapes and sizes; you can probably find one that fits in with your natural landscaping. Whether you’re putting it close to your garden as a free-standing unit, or looking for a lean-to green house to be attached to your house, with the hundreds of styles available you can be sure to find a commercial green house kit that will fit in.
