Three views of AB greenhouse

Design: The AB, or "aluminum bowed," roof greenhouse consists of a hot dipped galvanized steel superstructure with aluminum gutters and arched roof bows for covering. Roof covering is double polyethylene film. While being a cost effective style in our product range, the structure and gutters are suitable for retrofitting to all of our other roof systems.

Roof Structure:

  • Bowed double poly house
  • Aluminum extruded hollow gutter sections with poly locking system extruded directly into the gutter, spaced at 12 foot centers
  • Aluminum extruded half moon drip gutter
  • Aluminum extruded gutter bracket
  • Aluminum extruded roof bows, 1-1/4 inch by 1-3/8 inch, spaced at 40 or 48 inch centers
  • Aluminum extruded bolted ridge
  • All stainless steel hardware

Glazing: Double poly layflat tubes, 4 mil or 6 mil

  • All substructure materials are manufactured using raw steel and then hot dipped galvanized for rust protection.
  • Greenhouse structure is braced with X-brace section and wind brace section using 1/2 inch round hot dipped galvanized rods.
  • NGMA standard structural load calculations are used unless otherwise requested by customer.

Custom Fabrication:

  • Truss clearance, gutter and truss extension heights custom manufactured per project
  • Girder trusses to eliminate posts
  • Slope of the greenhouse roof created by varying the slope in the posts and the truss extensions above the truss. This allows the truss and the land to be level.
  • Framing of passage, overhead and sliding doors
  • Attachment to existing or new buildings
  • Non-standard bay widths manufactured if required.
  • Greenhouses can be manufactured to accept:
    • Shade/Energy retention systems
    • Hanging basket systems
    • Irrigation booms
    • Lighting systems
    • Crop support systems
    • Heating systems
