Our Strength Starts With Our Framing

Our Strength Starts with our Framing

Strong Greenhouses are made in the Structural Design

Our customers are drawn to our greenhouses because of their exceptional strength and durability. With over 72 years of experience, we have perfected our framing system to withstand even the harshest weather conditions.

Our greenhouses are built with heavy duty aluminum frames. They are typically 50-60% heavier than our big box store competition. For example, our Traditional 8×12 single glass greenhouse weighs nearly 1200 pounds.
Our aluminum frames are proprietary to us – alloy and temper framework is 6063-T5 or T6 for extrusions and 209 for sheets/plates.
Each roof purlin can carry a 50 pound hanging basket!
Our polycarbonate greenhouses are virtually unbreakable and carry a 10 year warranty for hail damage.
Our standard minimum wind load rating is 85 mph and our snow loads are 32 per square foot. We can manufacture and design our greenhouses to match the loads in your area. See our upgrade options below.
