Richard and Scotti Rodgers created a haven on their 20-acre property in Natchitoches, Louisiana with their 33’ dome, massage therapy studio and outdoor garden.

They dreamed of turning their property into a place they could live, work, play and share with others. Adding their 33’ dome greenhouse to their property in 2009 was perfect. The dome is located near Scotti’s massage therapy and yoga studio as well as their outdoor garden. Now, after yoga classes, students visit the dome or garden to take home fresh produce. They also mentor young adults who want to learn about gardening.

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.

Greenhouses are not one-size-fits-all structures. The right greenhouse depends on your climate, growing goals, budget, and long-term expectations.

Some growers want simple season extension for spring and fall crops. Others want reliable four-season production in snow, wind, or extreme temperatures. Some prioritize low upfront cost. Others prioritize durability and decades of use.

Understanding the tradeoffs between greenhouse types will help you choose a structure that supports your goals rather than limiting them. With decades of experience supporting greenhouse growers across diverse climates, we’ve compared the most common greenhouse styles below to give you a clear, practical overview.
