FAQ: Comparing Options: Frame, Glazing & Colors

There are several factors to help decide which glazing option will work best for you and your growing environment.  There is one thing we know for sure. All gardeners are different and like to experiment with staging, crops and climate control to maximize their output. Because of this, there is no better greenhouse glazing, just one that may work better for how you intend to use your greenhouse.  And remember, you can mix and match our system for the best results! Visit our glazing guide for details on light transmission and R-Value.

With an aluminum frame greenhouse, the positives far outweigh the concerns. Our greenhouses are manufactured with an active weep system that will transfer condensation and expel moisture outside of the greenhouse. Aluminum is a superior product in this application as it will not warp, expand and contract which causes weakness and drafts, and you will never have to stain your greenhouse annually as you do with wood frame greenhouses. The lifetime warranty on the frame will be meaningful for years to come.

No. We use top-tier polycarbonate with UV protection that retains over 94% light transmission after 10 years and comes with a 10-year warranty.

Yes! We offer full color-matching services, glazing tints, and insulation upgrades to suit your climate and style.
