Economy Starter Package

A professional package to get you started in the greenhouse business – The Economy Starter Greenhouse Package (Ranger Series 2000 Greenhouse) can provide year-round production for propagation and growing, retail garden centers, aqua culture, and provides the most square footage for the dollar as an instructional or institutional greenhouse. The frame of this structure is constructed from the same high quality, galvanized steel roll-formed components as our more expensive packages. The difference is the end walls of this structure are covered with beautiful, clear corrugated polycarbonate while both the sidewalls and roof are covered with a 4-Year rated, economical double-layer poly film. Many commercial greenhouses use the poly film on a permanent basis, but if you should choose to upgrade at a later time when your greenhouse is turning a profit, your roof can easily be retro-fitted with corrugated or twinwall polycarbonate.

Additional Information

Durability

All Ranger Greenhouses are engineered to meet at least 70 mph wind and 10 pound live load per the UBC Building Code, with higher wind and live load ratings easily available upon request. The free style gothic arch is designed to reduce roof snow build-up and provide maximum headroom. All galvanized steel frame insures maximum strength and life. The twin-wall polycarbonate covering is UV resistant and carries a 10-year warranty against discoloration.

Superior Strength Rollformed Technology

Rollformed components incorporate the same design principle applied to industrial “I” Beams. Engineered to be longer than wide, these rollformed members offer substantially greater resistance to the deflection causing forces of rain, snow and wind when compared to conventional greenhouse components.

Patented Condensate Removal Systems

As condensation forms inside a greenhouse, it runs down the roof until it reaches an obstacle such as a purlin. In standard greenhouse designs, the condensate falls to earth upon contact with the purlin. Our truss and purlin assemblies, however, incorporate unique built-in anti-drip channels which intercept the condensate, effortlessly directing it away from people and plants.

Assembly Options

The greenhouse included in this package is a commercial rated structure which requires a concrete foundation and a certain level of skill to successfully assemble. Unless you are a licensed contractor or have experience erecting greenhouses we strongly recommend one of the following assembly options:

1. Hire our experienced construction team to assemble the greenhouse and install all working components. In addition to providing an easy single source solution, Turnkey Greenhouse Construction by Greenhouse Megastore allows you to spend time managing your business instead of running a construction project.
2. Use a local contractor to erect the structure. Components supplied are pre-cut and drilled and your package includes shop drawings and/or general installation instructions which should provide sufficient guidance for an experienced contractor. Greenhouse Megastore provides online and telephone support to answer any questions your contractor may have.
3. Jobsite Supervision: For a daily fee we will send an experienced job foreman to provide guidance and direction for any phase of your project.
