Ground to Ground Greenhouses


30 ft. Pacesetter / 3 ft side wall / end has insert screen
on last three bays. A great house.


GROUND-TO-GROUND AND MODIFIED GROUND-TO-GROUND STRUCTURES. FOR SEASONAL AND YEAR-ROUND GROWING AND RAIN PROTECTION. INTEGRATED SYSTEMS FOR MULTIPLE USES.

Structure prices vary greatly depending on load, length, size of steel, round or square, ground to ground are among our least expensive structures. Please note the wider the house the less expensive per square foot / meter. Also it is wise to remember whether the house is 40 ft long or 200' long you still have ends to build, at least one door, etc. So generally the longer the better - length should not be shorter than 48 ft. to 60 ft.

Any lengths are available, from 48' (7.3m) to 600' (183m). One customer many years ago ordered one unit 1750' (533m) long! The basic design can be modified with sidewalls up to 6' (1.83m), although 3' (91cm) is the most common sidewall. Bays on 4' (122cm) or 6' (183cm) centers, depending on strength required. Widths from 15' (4.5m) to 30' (9.14m)


Gothic House

Available with or without ends. Clients often prefer to customize the ends to fit their needs. Many structures do not require ends. Gable ends are often covered in Polycarbonate or hard, rigid material to encase door equipment.

Types of coverings vary greatly. The most common is either single or double inflated Poly, Polycarbonate, shade screen, or black out films.

For strength and ease of construction, most clients prefer the square steel, as attaching equipment and systems is easier to do with a flat surface. We also have round and oval pipe available at a lesser price. Pipe sizes from 1 1/4" to 2 1/2" are available depending upon load requirement. Square steel is more expensive than round, but easier to work with.

Wider houses have been supplied under special conditions.
