Gutter Connect

The CropKing Gutter-Connect Greenhouse is a series of 22’ wide bays connected by an aluminum gutter and is expandable by adding on more bays as your business grows.

Dimensions:
16 bays (approximately 352 ft. wide) equals approximately one acre of production. Our standard greenhouse is 128 ft. long. The column posts, which support the gutter, are spaced 8’ on center.

Engineering:
Our gutter connect greenhouse is an engineered structure with a 90 mph wind load rating. The wind load rating is increased to 130 mph when the cover is removed. The frame also carries a 20 lb. snow load when the greenhouse is heated to a minimum of 50°F.
