FAQ: Matterhorn Gutter-Connect Greenhouse

What is a gutter-connected greenhouse?

A gutter-connected greenhouse is a style of commercial greenhouse that allows for the connection of multiple greenhouse structures at the gutter. Each greenhouse in the connection is referred to as a “bay.” Many multi-bay gutter-connected greenhouses are designed without internal walls, creating a large open growing space that can be ideal for commercial growers, CEA operations, universities, nurseries and garden centers. Greenhouse bays can gradually be added over time, allowing for easy expansion as the business grows.

What are the benefits of gutter-connected greenhouses?

Gutter-connected greenhouses offer strength and versatility, with near-infinite expansion potential. Without the need for internal walls, these structures maximize growing space for agricultural producers. The larger internal air volume reduces fluctuations in temperature and humidity, creating a better growing environment for plants. Gutter-connected greenhouses also typically have advanced environmental control systems to manage heating, cooling and ventilation, helping to produce high-volume, high-quality crop yields, and ultimately save money on utility costs. These greenhouses are also designed for permanent use, meaning that they will hold up against wind and snow in severe climate areas.

What sizes are available for the Matterhorn greenhouse?

Rimol’s Matterhorn greenhouse is available in 20’, 24’ and 30’ widths and in any length in increments of 12’. The Matterhorn can be a stand-alone greenhouse or a multi-bay structure.
