Now that Spring is giving way to Summer….we find the heat build-up in a greenhouse can prove stressful to your plants…sometimes, even fatal.To counter the extreme heat build-up in a greenhouse, you’ll need to exchange the volume of air at least once per minute. Beyond ridge vents and sidewall vents, which have their limitation to how much air can be moved….the next step in combating the heat is a mechanical ventilation system – consisting of a shutter-mounted exhaust fan placed high in one gable end wall….and a motorized air-inlet shutter typically mounted on the opposite gable end wall at or below bench top level.
There were times in the past that only the very wealthy aristocrats could afford to own a greenhouse in which to enjoy their favorite fresh vegetables and fruits all year long.

One’s greenhouse should be considered a place of tremendous gardening potential.In a well built, environmentally controlled greenhouse, you will be able to germinate and propagate most all of the plant material for your vegetable and flower gardens….as well as for the landscaping of your property.
Whether a backyard ‘green-thumber’, or a bottom-line conscientious commercial manager, owning and operating a properly functional greenhouse throughout the year depends on one’s ability to maintain temperature parameters specific to what you are growing. In the winter, you must keep the temperature from falling below a certain level….typically achieved by providing some type of supplemental heating system.
We recommend starting with leafy greens like lettuces and herbs. Bibb, romaine and leaf lettuces do particularly well, as does watercress, basil, chives, mint and many other herbs.

Glass greenhouses transmit almost 100% light and glass stays that way for a lifetime or more , compared to 80% with double wall polycarbonate that will gradually fade over time as the polycarbonate becomes more opaque. Due to the weight of the glass covering the glass greenhouse structure is generally stronger than other greenhouses, so it is an excellent greenhouse investment and adds lasting value to one’s property and home. With Glass Greenhouses, you can choose from single layer, double or triple paned glass to improve insulation and ventilation, to help your greenhouse use less energy and to provide better crop protection. Glass is quite inert, in contrast to plastic, and it can function for 40 to 50 years without failure. It is non-combustible, resistant to UV radiation and air pollutant degradation, and it maintains its initial radiation transmission if regularly cleaned. The greatest drawback of glass is its vulnerability to catastrophic losses caused by hail.
