I am looking to buy an old greenhouse that I can move to my farm. I am looking for something 2,000-5,000 sf that is more architectural looking. Anyone no a good source?

Welcome to NGA, moseleyb -- can you give us an idea of where you are located? You could try checking on Craigslist (although I suspect that for the size of GH you want, you are much more likely to find high-tunnel-type greenhouses than something "architectural").

Hi @moseleyb and welcome to the forum

What type of greenhouse are you looking for?

I have an aluminum frame g-house, 36X72 I think. It was a commercial g-house we took down some years ago and was going to put it up. Now I'm old and it won't get done, but the barn still is junked up from the pieces. All the parts are here. Cheap. We are located in Cen PA. Where are you?

Oh boy, I really wish I was closer. I'd love a greenhouse that size! Jim, are you interested? At least you're close enough that getting it wouldn't be too bad.

plantmanager said:Jim, are you interested?

No, Jim isn't interested.

Actually....too big for me.

Jim, you don't need to put it all up. The 36ft width is the trusses. 10ft spaces between them, so you could make it 20X36. The trusses have a collar where the 10ft pipes fit on it and spaces the trusses. It fit together like a big Lego set.

Thanks, but I have to pass on it. Hope you do find a buyer.

It's been here for more than 15 years, the next people will worry about it if it is here for 15 more. lol

Gothic Arch Greenhouses in Mobile, AL. They have some gorgeous ones and seem to have a great track record. Been in business a really long time too.

Pete, since Jim doesn't want something that big: I'm interested in your greenhouse. The gothic high tunnel that we are working on can't be used for potted material for a few years- NRCS rules. That means we are still very much needing a structure for potted material and seedlings. I'll send you a tree-mail.

Jim, the piedmont/gothic style of high tunnel can be attractive if it's tall enough. Are you hoping to have rigid covering or poly?

If you're near a state university, you might check the surplus sales. Areas used for greenhouses, both for classes and for landscaping, are often re-purposed for parking or new buildings.

I wonder what ever became of the original poster of this thread? @moseleyb

That was their first and last post.
