Design: The
AG, or "aluminum/glass A-frame," greenhouse consists of a hot
dipped galvanized steel superstructure with aluminum gutters and aluminum
roof bars glazed with 4mm tempered horticultural glass. Gutter choices
can be either steel or aluminum. This is a bolted roof rather than a slide
type, making repairs or broken glass replacement much easier. The angle
of 26.5 degrees increases light intensity in the greenhouse. Roof vent
systems are available, allowing for ventilation without necessarily needing
exhaust fans.
Roof Structure:
- Peaked Venlo type tempered glass roof 26.5 degree
roof slope, increases light
- Aluminum extruded hollow gutter sections, complete
with aluminum extruded gutter ledge
- Aluminum extruded half moon drip gutter
- Aluminum extruded gutter bracket
- Aluminum extruded roof bars, 30 or 36 inch centers
- Aluminum extruded ridge
- Bolted roof system
- Roof able to accept vent system, optional
- All stainless steel hardware
Glazing:
4mm (5/32") tempered horticultural glass panels

-
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
- Crop support systems
- Hanging basket systems
- Roof vent system
- Irrigation booms
- Heating systems
- Lighting systems
