Hi! We're located in SC KY and have about
6500 sq feet in unheated "greenhouse", "coldframe", "high tunnel", call it what
you want, production. The frames we like best are 20 by 96 feet
long. We purchase them from Atlas Greenhouse Systems, Inc located in
Alapaha, Ga
www.AtlasGreenhouse.com We
use their RT series w/ 6 foot bow spacing. Price should be $825.00.
Very easy to assemble and comes w/ terrific instructions. We also purchase
from Atlas their poly lock system (which could be optional) but with your high
wind situation I would recommend it. We also purchase their roll webbing
to install our own windows for ventilation.
We purchase our plastic from Park Seed
Wholesale - phone 800-845-3366. Sorry, I don't know of a
website for them. We use Tufflite IV - 6mil 4 year. We use IR on the
inside layer and regular on the outside. We use Park because they have the
cheapest price and very inexpensive freight rates on the
plastic. 7cents per square on the IR and 6 cents per square on the
regular. You need to purchase 32 foot wide plastic to fit the Atlas frame.
and the house will actually measure 19' 8" when complete rather than
20'.
We purchase the inflation blower fan, mounting
bracket and jumper hoses from Jaderloon (good pricing)
www.jaderloon.com
If you want a complete breakdown including other
material you will need to erect the frame, please let me know and I'll mail it
to you. A complete 20 x 96 unit will cost you somewhere between $2000 and
$2500 depending on freight, etc.
Hope this helps. If you would like to see the
frames in winter production feel free to visit. We're located just off
I-65 not too far from MCNP. You might want to look at our website to see
our frames in production.
BWI also carries the Atlas line, but I think you'll
get it cheaper going direct to Atlas. But check it out. BWI usually
has really good prices on many items.
