A Greenhouse For Every Budget

Baby, it’s cold outside. But it’s warm and toasty inside the greenhouse.
Even when there’s snow on the ground, it’s always summer in the greenhouse. The controlled climate inside makes it possible to raise garden plants—especially homegrown fruits and vegetables— all year long.
An impressive variety of greenhouse styles, sizes and price points is available: lightweight portables, kits with permanent foundations, and actual professional-quality structures.

Gothic Arch performance

A Gothic Arch is one of the strongest architectural shapes known. The heart of a Gothic Arch Greenhouse is the sturdy, energy-efficient arch made of Bald Cypress wood. The hand-crafted structural arches are always at an ideal angle toward the sun. Because of the high profile of the ridge, a Gothic Arch Greenhouse is perfect for growing taller plants like tomatoes, cucumbers and many tropical trees. The Gothic Arch design encourages condensation run-off inside the greenhouse, and the design also prevents snow accumulation on the roof.
Three greenhouse covering options are available: corrugated polycarbonate, 8 mm twin-wall polycarbonate, and 8 mm triple-wall polycarbonate. Greenhouses are available in five widths—from eight to 22 feet in four-foot increments. The greenhouse can be installed directly on the ground, or the structure can be placed on a foundation wall to raise the height of the roof. Visit gothicarchgreenhouses.com or call 800-531-4769.

The thick, UV-coated polycarbonate glazing also provides diffused sunlight to protect plants during hot summers.
