- • How
can I price my greenhouse design? See Plans
& Cost of Greenhouses and
Sunrooms
for
a materials list and simple plans of various structures using our
Cap
& Trim System.
- • Do

Please see our
approach to Kits.

you sell plans? We do not sell plans for specific size
greenhouses, but we do have a Samples
& Design & Install Guides
to assist you through the process and simple Plans
& Cost of Greenhouses and
Sunrooms
using our Cap
& Trim System.
- • Do
you have dealers in other areas of the country? No Showroom or
Dealers. We ship direct from the manufacturer to your job site.
Poly ships from DePere, Wisc. This is the most cost
effective way to get materials to your door.
- • I
would like to build an attached greenhouse or sunroom that can be
taken down during the hot season. We suggest a permanent frame
with a polycarbonate roof and removable "Pop-On
Storm Panels" for the
walls. It is difficult to achieve a good weather tight seal on an
attached roof that is removed and reinstalled.
- • We're
planning to construct a greenhouse and would like to have glass on
the roof, any suggestions? Glass would be a big mistake. It
breaks easy, is difficult to install, difficult to seal,
expensive, heavy, very costly and unless you get double-pane does
not insulate. Plus it does not diffuse the light, plants like
diffuse light. Best to use polycarbonate, all the design tools are
on the web site. See Why
Poly or Glass.
- • I
am building an attached sunroom and would like polycarbonate on
the roof and glass on the vertical walls, do you have any
suggestions? See our special section on glass
walled sunrooms!
- • Can
an arched greenhouse frame be covered with polycarbonate? Your
options are the Base
& Cap System with
multi-wall polycarbonate and Corrugated
Polycarbonate.
- • I do not see vent tape in your drawings? Vent tape is typically used in U-Profiles of plastic that, not only yellow, but also fit loosely. Without vent tape these plastic U-Profiles allow bugs to enter. Our U-Profiles fit tight, vent tape not required. It is important to access our drawings and following these drawings carefeully, should you choose to use our Install Systems. Using our components and misc. instructions from others will clearly lead to problems. No other company goes to the length we do to ensure a successful installation. Follow our guidelines to the letter and we ensure a quality installation. Plastic install components are junk. Aluminum will last, and you have a choice of colors.
- • How
long does it take for my order to arrive at my door? Orders
are shipped in line with the timing indicated on the
Shipping page.
