Product Description

Riverstone Industries 12ft x 18ft Whitney Educational Greenhouse Kit

The Whitney Educational Greenhouse Package is designed for schools with horticulture programs, correctional institutions, and serious gardeners for both growing and therapeutic reasons. The 2” x 2” galvanized steel frame with pre-welded stanchions and Commercial graded 8mm twin wall corrugated covering (walls and roof) are the same specifications used in commercial products in the market today. The walls and roof are warranteed for 10 years and have a 15-20 year life expectancy.

The walls of the Whitney are 8 ft. tall with a center peak of 11.5 ft. for optimal air circulation.

The design of Educational greenhouses requires attention to details that are different from that of hobby or commercial greenhouses. The design differences include the ability to accommodate large numbers of people (students) and allow them to become a part of the growing process, secure environment that can be locked when not in use, built to last construction that will provide many years of use, all within a climate controlled environment that is thermostatically controlled.

Our factory is a leader in providing functional, affordable greenhouses to schools and universities. Our educational line of greenhouses has been refined over the years and our offering is the most comprehensive in the market today. We have designed our Greenhouses as complete package that include all the accessories that a School, institution, or serious gardener would need.

The Educational Greenhouses are customizable and can be made to meet any local ordinances required to gain permitting.
