A commercial greenhouse is used to cultivate a large volume of plants for selling, with tempered glass walls and humidity control equipment. It can be built using a kit or with an architect and contractor, following local building codes.

A commercial greenhouse is one of several types of greenhouses in common use today. Essentially, a commercial form of greenhouse is one used in the cultivation of a large volume of plants that are grown with the express purpose of selling them. Greenhouses of this type can be used in a business that aims to produce a wide variety of plants that are purchased and used in many different settings. This includes the production of green plants for home or office use, flowering plants ideal for use in landscaping, or even vegetable plants that are grown to a certain stage and then sold for planting in the ground.

The basic commercial greenhouse is made primarily of tempered glass, which is able to let in an abundance of natural sunlight through the walls and ceiling, as well as being thick enough to help maintain an optimal indoor temperature for the plants grown in the facility. In addition to maintaining a suitable temperature, the greenhouse usually also has equipment that allows it to monitor and control humidity levels. This makes it possible to grow and grow tropical plants in areas with climates that would otherwise be completely inhospitable to these plants.

Building a commercial greenhouse can be accomplished in two different ways. Smaller companies may choose to use a kit to manage construction. The typical greenhouse kit includes all of the glass panels, moldings, and other essentials to create the structure’s shell. It is not uncommon for kits to also include heating and cooling equipment that help provide temperature and humidity control. Since the building materials are pre-cut and mass-produced, this approach is often less expensive than designing and building the greenhouse from a set of blueprints.

If the homeowner prefers a larger commercial greenhouse than the structures created with the kits, the construction process usually includes obtaining a blueprint from an architect and working with a contractor to arrange for the procurement of building materials and the actual construction. As with any type of commercial structure, the commercial greenhouse must comply with local community building codes and standards before actually being used in a commercial operation. Many municipalities provide specific guidelines for use during the construction phase, which address not only the construction of the greenhouse shell, but also the setup of plumbing and wiring systems.
