This was an interesting project because of the unique project characteristics. The project location had quite demanding snow and wind loads. This shows the strength and features that our Omni/GCS freestanding greenhouse structures offer.
This structure is a 40 foot ( 12.2 meter ) wide freestanding unit with our optional 10 foot ( 3.0 meter ) high side walls ( a popular option on our series FS structure ). Taking into account that the structure was installed on a 2 foot high concrete pony wall, this provides over 26 feet ( 7.9 meters ) clear at the peak. This particular structure is 52 feet long ( 15.8 meters ).
The cladding system is 8 mm twin wall polycarbonate. The reinforced arch uprights and arches are placed every 4 feet ( 1.2 meters) on center. Galvanized steel ridge cap, 1 1/2” sq. purlin steel secure the polycarbonate to the structure.
As discussed with the site manager for Bradbury, this was their first greenhouse building, and they installed it with little difficulty and it shows in the photos. They did a very good job at installation of the structure.
As the photos indicate the structure is nearing completion other than installing the large overhead doors and site grading.
This project demonstrates another practical use for a greenhouse structure for industrial applications.
