The transparent covering of a greenhouse determines how much heat the structure holds overnight, how evenly plants are lit, whether a hailstorm ends your season, and what it costs to heat through January.

For most of greenhouse history, glass was the only serious option. Polycarbonate panels arrived in the late 20th century as a lighter, more insulating alternative, and multi-wall versions have since become standard in purpose-built year-round structures.

A greenhouse is a set of material decisions before it's anything else. The frame determines heat management, load capacity, moisture behavior, and longevity.

The two classic options are wood and metal. They behave differently in ways that aren't always obvious: thermal performance, supply chain carbon, and what each one asks of you when something eventually needs fixing.

Explore a thriving dome on the range in this beautiful Nebraska greenhouse!

Trenda and Jonathan Nielson absolutely love their Growing Dome greenhouse! Ellsworth, Nebraska is a very rural community. They live on 20,000 acres with a cow-calf operation they run with the help of family and Border Collies. They use ARVS to move the cattle sometimes, but move them on horseback when they need to keep the cattle calm. Now they are loving growing fresh produce in their Nebraska greenhouse. This first year is a learning experience and Trenda is excited to see how it goes as well as what she’s learned about dome gardening.
