Designing a greenhouse
Designing a greenhouse
(OP)
Has anyone designed a large greenhouse? I am looking at designing a 50'x96' one. I would like to get some feedback from someone that has designed one before.
Thanks,
CJC

Greenhouse systems are highly specialized with a tight profit margin. Every member is optimized to be exactly the size that it needs to be. Because of this, I suspect that a custom greenhouse will be even more costly. Additionally, TopKnot is probably correct - the 25k is to upgrade components of the greenhouse to be code compliant.

Schwandon,
Thanks for your help. What is the MWFRS in a greenhouse? I am guessing that cables or x-bracing is used for the lateral bracing. Could you elaborate?
Thanks,

I found a structural design manual online for greenhouses. It is put out by NGMA. I am sure you have seen it. Pretty generic, but an attempt to codify these things.
