The Perect Greenhouse

Steel buildings can be used in so many ways, and often times there are some uses we simply never consider. One such option is greenhouses. Often, when we think about greenhouses it’s the wooden and and glass variety that comes to mind before anything else. There’s plenty of reason why you should, however, consider prefab steel kits in your greenhouse endeavours. Sticking to the traditional methods might make the most sense to you, but with a bit of research you can easily see how steel is the much better options.

Simple
For starters, thanks to steel being much lighter than wood in terms of weight, it’s much simpler to maneuver, cut, customize and manipulate without needing complicated tools in order to do so. As a result, steel structures will take about ⅓ of the time as erecting a building made with wood. This is something that will save you not only time, but resources and money as well. On average, you will spend about 30% less money purchasing a steel building kit vs. buying raw materials to build a structure of the same size.

Strength & Durability
Steel is renowned for its strength and durability. In many ways, it’s much stronger than wood but is also lightweight, giving it one of the best strength-to-weight ratios of any building material currently on the market. A steel greenhouse will keep your building’s contents safe, since it’s a material that is largely not affected by weather or climate. Wood can crack, twist and even contract during periods of high precipitation or moisture-filled humid months. Steel on the other hand does not have this issue. It’s a material that is elastic in many ways, and can carry its own weight while also being able to withstand extreme weather conditions such as high winds and earthquakes.

Resistant
Steel is a material that is thankfully resistant to a wood things that wood is very vulnerable to. Wood, for example, is a material that fire will spread throughout very quickly, whereas this is something you won’t need to worry about at all with steel. Steel is also resistant to pests like termites, which can have some severe damage on all types of wood. While you can sometimes avoid it by treat your wooden structures with different types of coatings and pesticides, steel is naturally resistant to any and all types of pests without the addition of any additional factors.

Forever Strong
Typically, steel structures are created using 100% recycled steel. Most of the steel currently used in construction in particular is made of recycled materials. The great thing about steel is that no matter how many times it is recycled, it never loses its strength in any way.

Flexibile
Steel might be strong, but its real strength lies in its flexibility. Being able to design the structure to fit your specific greenhouse needs is imperative to having a space that works perfect for you. SInce steel structures don’t need the types of supportive interior posts and beams that wooden structures to, you can have much larger door, window and panel openings so you can use your building to its ultimate potential.
