We really do build greenhouses in any custom color! This periwinkle greenhouse was shipped to Oregon and the picture are from during that installation process. Would you pick a color as wild as this one? Or something more classic?
Believe it or not, where you place your greenhouse can make or break your growing success. The right spot helps your plants thrive year-round—while the wrong one could leave you fighting shade, heat, or cold.
Good news: we've done the homework for you. Here are 9 key tips to help you choose the best location for your greenhouse.
For the friends with the winter blues, or being impressive on Valentine's Day, consider forcing bulbs. "Forcing" sounds ruthless, but it's the process of condensing the bulb's winter and spring, so the flowers bloom in early winter instead of mid-Spring. A greenhouse makes this easy, and foolproof.
This is the new rooftop greenhouse at Indiana Wesleyan University during the installation phase. At 28x75 feet long, this commercial rooftop greenhouse will serve the Division of Natural Sciences. Greenhouses for schools are certainly a growing trend and we are happy to be a part of this new exciting project for IWU!

Truth be told, I can easily ignore a bit of soil spilled on the benches or an occasional unsterilized pot for seedlings. I don't always wear gloves, or fastidiously wash labels. I like the results in my greenhouse. My Sweet Peas bloom early, my tomatoes grow fat on the vine. A little mess, a few germs - my plants and I are no worse for the wear.
We recently helped out some customers who had purchased one of our greenhouses secondhand! The greenhouse was fully functional and they only needed a handful of new vents and screws. But other than that, it looks to be in pretty great shape! They were very happy with their purchase and we love seeing our greenhouses continuing to get love years after they are originally sold.

One of our favourite BC Greenhouse Builders projects! This Greenhouse that we built and went on sight to install is a 17x46 custom greenhouse for a public school in Brooklyn (PS216) as part of The Edible Schoolyard Project. The greenhouse is the heart of the classroom whereby the students will be gardening in a kitchen classroom setting that provides a hands-on environment for students in which to apply skills learned in traditional math, science and humanities classes.
There are certain points in a company's history that change the course of a business. There have been many over the years and one of them sticks out in my mind today. BC Greenhouse Builders secured our IP address in 1995 to sell greenhouses online. For a small family business, this was progressive and ahead of the curve.
As a custom greenhouse manufacturer, there are some things that have changed in 65 years but many things that haven't. Certainly, the scope of the business and going online in 1995 shook things up. Shipping internationally and growing our distribution have changed but the ethos of the company stays the same.
The manufacturing process continues to be very "hand's on". Our productions team has a hand in every greenhouse that is made and almost all greenhouses are customized in some way and manufactured in our facility.
All of our parts, pieces and components like capping, screws and fasteners are sourced in North America except for our polycarbonate. The poly comes from Italy because it's the best and weather so much better than other products we've seen.
Our approach to customer service is still very old school. We like to talk to people on the phone and try to over-deliver with every purchase.
The speed of daily life changes things and the one thing that we hear time and again is how much joy our customers experience getting back to nature and slowing life down.
