Why is Aluminum the Better Choice for a Greenhouse?
Quick Answer:
Why is aluminum the better choice for a greenhouse? While aluminum does conduct cold, it outperforms wood in long-term durability, structural stability, and weather resistance, especially in cold climates. Unlike wood, which warps, rots, and requires ongoing maintenance like sealing, staining, and pest control, aluminum frames remain strong and low-maintenance for decades—even under snow loads and high winds. As lumber costs rise and customers seek reliability, aluminum has become the superior greenhouse frame material, with BC Greenhouse Builders offering proven performance and lifetime warranties on structures lasting 30 to 40+ years.
