FAQ: Garden Center Greenhouses

What is the best greenhouse for a garden center?

For a retail garden center, our Matterhorn Greenhouse is our most popular choice. It is a strong and attractive structure that can be glazed with polycarbonate for the ultimate durability, or glass for a high-end look. The Matterhorn offers many options for customization: It can be built as a single-bay or multi-bay structure, it can be closed or open on the side and end walls, and it can also be connected directly to an existing building.

For nurseries and growers, our freestanding greenhouses are functional and economical. This includes our Nor'Easter, Northpoint and Eastpoint models.

What size is best for a garden center greenhouse?

The Matterhorn Greenhouse is available in 20’, 24’ and 30’ widths and in any length in increments of 12’. It can be built as a stand-alone, single bay structure or a multi-bay gutter connect. Our freestanding greenhouses range in size from 16' to 34' wide, and can be built in any length in increments of 4'.

There is no "right size" for a garden center greenhouse. We will work with you to decide on the right size for your operation, and we can make a site visit to take measurements if needed.

Does Rimol offer glass greenhouses?

The Matterhorn Greenhouse can be glazed with glass on the walls. We do not offer a glass roof; we have found that a polycarbonate roof offers much more durability, better snow loads, and superior climate control without sacrificing aesthetics. Your sales partner can show you many examples of beautiful glass greenhouses that have been built for our garden center customers!

Does Rimol offer a single-bay gutter-connected greenhouse?

Yes! Our Matterhorn Greenhouse is our gutter-connected style structure, but we don't require multiple bays - we are happy to design a single-bay, standalone Matterhorn greenhouse for your garden center.

Can I build my greenhouse without walls?

Yes - if you are in a climate where you would like to have just a covered space, but you do not need the climate control that a greenhouse offers, we can build our Matterhorn Greenhouse as just a frame without internal or external walls.

Can Rimol design a greenhouse for garden center expansions?

Yes, our experts have extensive experience working with retail garden centers to expand their operations with the addition of a greenhouse. We will come onsite, take measurements and work with you to come up with a plan for expansion.

Can I connect my greenhouse directly to a building?

Yes! Our Matterhorn Greenhouse can be connected directly to an existing building for a smooth flow in your retail garden center space. There will be important considerations when it comes to engineering and environmental controls, so your sales representative can discuss this with you in more depth.

Does Rimol do greenhouse retrofits for garden centers?

Yes, Rimol will happily work with you on retrofitting and updating an existing garden center greenhouse, whether it was originally purchased from Rimol or another manufacturer. Retrofits require some engineering and planning to make sure that all of the parts and pieces line up. Contact us and we will come out and do a site visit to take measurements and come up with a plan for your retrofit, whether you are looking for a reglaze or you are trying to expand on an existing structure.

Does Rimol sell garden center accessories?

Rimol offers benches and shade structures that are popular with our garden center and nursery customers. We also sell shade cloth, ground cover, poly sheeting, insect netting, fans, and other greenhouse equipment. We do not sell nursery accessories like carts, pots or planters, or gardening tools and equipment.
