When it comes to custom greenhouses, Kevin is an amazing resource for the team at BCG. The custom projects that are designed and manufactured from his department are unique, complex and quite frankly cool. But let’s go back to the beginning for a moment.
Big thanks to Larry Clarkson for telling us the story of his two used Traditional Greenhouses
Larry won the greenhouse lottery and found two used BC Greenhouse Traditional model greenhouses on, of all places, Craigslist. It's worth saying that we do not sell used greenhouses. After this story broke, our email blew up with requests from customers wanting to buy refurbished greenhouses.
What do I need to know when preparing a greenhouse foundation? Every greenhouse needs a solid, level foundation—typically wood or concrete—built to exact dimensions for proper fit, stability, drainage, and long-term success. Why is foundation planning essential for greenhouse performance and longevity? A well-prepared foundation supports structural integrity, ensures easy access to utilities, accommodates local conditions like slope or shade, and sets the stage for efficient growing and maintenance.
Over the years we have had hundreds of greenhouse-related questions and many of them are related to foundations.
Preparing your greenhouse for fall involves maintaining appropriate night temperatures for different plants, thorough cleaning to prevent pests and diseases, and proactive pest management using safe insecticidal soaps, sterilized soils, and yellow sticky traps to ensure a healthy growing environment.
