With roots stretching back to 1951, BC Greenhouse Builders Ltd. has been at the forefront of high-quality greenhouse design and manufacturing. What began as a small cedar wood greenhouse company in southwestern British Columbia has grown into a global brand known for strength, durability, and custom craftsmanship.
In 1972, Henry and Greta Heinen took over operations, introducing new design innovations and launching the Cross Country Greenhouse line. With the addition of multiple distributors and the launch of online ordering in 1995, the business expanded far beyond its original borders. Today, under the leadership of Rick Heinen, Kyle Exner, and Cody Heinen, BC Greenhouse Builders offers everything from backyard greenhouses to luxury estate structures and commercial builds across North America and beyond.
We’re proud to continue growing in ways that support gardeners at every stage of their journey. In 2024, we acquired two trusted brands to deepen that commitment:
Charley’s Greenhouse & Garden, based in Mount Vernon, Washington, has been a cornerstone of the U.S. greenhouse industry since 1975. Charley’s became the go-to resource for greenhouse kits, accessories, and trusted advice—especially for those looking to bring the charm of an English-style greenhouse to their backyard. A long-time partner of BC Greenhouses since the early 1980s, Charley’s joined our family after founder Charley Yaw shared plans for a well-earned retirement.
The Polycarbonate Store, a specialty retailer supplying greenhouse glazing materials, provides the same premium multiwall polycarbonate panels used in our own manufacturing. The addition of this business helps us better serve DIY builders and greenhouse owners looking for top-tier materials.
As North America’s leading manufacturer of aluminum greenhouses, we’re committed to helping more people grow—whether it’s vegetables, flowers, or a deeper connection to nature. With every greenhouse shipped, we’re proud to continue a legacy of craftsmanship, care, and community.
We know that it can be difficult to distinguish quality online, especially when it comes to greenhouses. Our products are designed as do-it-yourself kits and are proudly North American made. They require maintenance once a year and are designed so that even the average homeowner can customize and build their very own greenhouse. For a complete list of the benefits of our greenhouses, visit this page.
As a longtime family business, we believe that quality counts and that great customer service still means something. We love to talk to people about their plans for a greenhouse! Call us today at 1-888-391-4433.
In 2022, BC Greenhouse Builders proudly established the charitable foundation Beyond BC Greenhouses. The goal is to align the same values of community, purpose, and hard work with Beyond BCG and help various organizations throughout British Columbia.
