The System 2000® greenhouses were designed for maximum flexibility of use. Growers can choose a variety of roof profiles, coverings, and ventilation options to suit their needs while maintaining common truss and column spacing throughout the range. Various roof profiles allow for greater flexibility in designing a greenhouse unique to your specifications. Coverings commonly used include: double poly for production areas, polycarbonate or acrylic for display and retail areas, and metal sheeting for head houses. Natural ventilation is available through wing applications, rigid roof vents, sidewall vents, and sidewall curtain systems. With common truss and column spacing, the System 2000® can be configured easily and uniformly to accommodate walks, trolley systems, rolling benches, doors, fans, and evaporative cooling installations.

System 2000® Rainbow® - With it’s rounded arch profile can be covered with either double polyethylene using Polylock® extrusions or rigid coverings such as polycarbonate structured sheets, single-wall polycarbonate, or acrylic. The intermediate open box spacing on six foot or optional four foot, centers prevents sagging of double poly applications. The System 2000® Rainbow® combines strength, easy construction, and adaptable growing space into a single greenhouse.
