1 Acre Greenhouse Cost & Specs

Sizing

How the footprint is set

01 · Length

15 bay sections of 4.00 m13 ft 1 in set the length: 60.00 m196 ft 10 in. The bay section — the column spacing along the gutter — is the repeat unit of the structure: one more section adds 4.00 m13 ft 1 in of length.

02 · Width

8 truss spans of 8.00 m26 ft 3 in set the width: 64.00 m210 ft. That completes the growing footprint: 3,840 m²41,333 sq ft under glass.

03 · Service building

A 32.0 × 16.0 m105 ft × 52 ft 6 in service building sits alongside the greenhouse — 512 m²5,511 sq ft for packing, technical installations and storage.

04 · The footprint

Overall footprint: 80.00 × 60.00 m262 ft 6 in × 196 ft 10 in — 4,352 m²46,844 sq ft covered. Every model in the series is composed the same way: scaling up adds sections and spans, not a redesign.

Discuss this model

A greenhouse is not bought by the square metre. It is bought by the kilo it returns, in the climate it stands in.
