Our loads start at 85 mile per hour
for wind and 32 pounds per square
foot for snow. Over the years there
is one thing that makes us stand out
from the rest – our strength. We have
designed greenhouses to handle
over 100 psf for snow and 140 mph
winds in hurricane prone areas.
This is well respected in our industry
and a source of pride for our staff.

encourage rooting, I dilute water-soluble “starter” fertilizer

gardening after her children were grown. After an inspiring trip to Sweden,
she came up with a modern Scandinavian approach with a greenhouse and
chicken coop combination.

'The Tornado'
In May 2018, Connecticut experienced unseasonably
warm weather and 4 tornadoes touched down. Our
customer’s single glass greenhouse from 2009 was
virtually unscathed but rotated on the decaying wood
foundation.
Prepare your
greenhouse in
the event of a storm:
• Disable the roof and side vent openers
and use chicken wire to tie the vents
closed. Upgraded roof vents are
recommended for high wind areas. NEW FOUNDATION
• Place a heavy object in front of the door.
• Use tape to keep the exhaust fan
blades from blowing open. AFTER
• Set exhaust fan and shutters to a warmer
temperature to prevent them from
turning on.
• For glass greenhouses, if you have time
and material, use plywood to face the
outside walls and roof to prevent flying
debris/damage. All glass is safety
tempered for considerable strength.

Traditional Greenhouses
Our most popular greenhouse design since the 1950s, the Traditional series greenhouse is
a great choice for gardeners that are looking for higher energy efficiency.
The lower 23 degree pitch roof simply means there is less air volume to heat. Think about mixing and matching the
glazing to optimize your environment – polycarbonate in the roof is great for energy efficiency and shading too.

COTTAGE SERIES
Cottage Greenhouses
The Cottage series greenhouse is a great choice for homeowners wanting to
incorporate the greenhouse into their landscape as it matches common roof styles
and architectural design. The mid-range roof pitch is a great option for those needing
some snow shedding and additional headroom.

The partition wall in this greenhouse creates two distinct growing climates for optimum harvest.
The custom 20x24 green framed structure was a remote dream for our customer who believed
that a greenhouse was not possible on his property. With a significant rocky slope and facing the
ocean, there were many considerations to the project. The jogged foundation with a multi-level interior
turned out beautifully and the upcycled stone floor is a perfect fit.
