How BCG Stands Out

BC Greenhouse Builders has taken great strides to ensure the best weather-sealed greenhouse on the market today. We have designed a system without the use of glazing clips as they create air (draft) gaps. Our greenhouse system utilizes a continuous exterior capping to fasten the glazing in the frame against an adhesive gasket for a weather-tight fit. Additionally, we incorporated weather stripping into our doors, windows and vents to ensure a draft-free greenhouse.

BC Greenhouses are built for North American climates with aluminum and high-quality glazing. While this isn't your standard furniture build, we do provide comprehensive instructions to help you get through the process smoothly.

How Do I Choose the Right Glaze Type for My Greenhouse Environment?
The ideal greenhouse glazing depends on your climate and growing goals: single glass with polycarbonate works for cool-season overwintering, fivewall polycarbonate offers superior insulation in colder climates, and double or low-E glass creates energy-efficient, year-round hot houses. Matching your glazing to your intended use—cold house, warm house, or hot house—ensures optimal plant performance, heat retention, and light transmission. Understanding your grower profile helps you select the right materials and create the perfect controlled environment for your plants.

A thorough fall cleanup—including disinfecting surfaces, protecting polycarbonate panels, and cleaning benches and pots—is essential to maintain a healthy greenhouse. Maintaining appropriate night temperatures based on plant needs and controlling pests with soapy water, sterilized soil, insecticidal soaps, and yellow sticky traps prevents diseases and infestations. These best practices ensure a productive, disease-free greenhouse environment ready for every growing season.
