Greenhouses

Are you new to gardening? Someone with a few growing seasons under your belt? New or experienced, a backyard greenhouse allows you to take your ‘green thumb’ to the next level. And, with a Stoltzfus Structures pre-built greenhouse it’s easy and relatively inexpensive to do!

A greenhouse in the backyard allows you to…

  • Extend the growing season (maybe even year-round depending on your location).
  • Start seeds early and inside.
  • Expand your options for a wider variety of vegetables and flowers.
  • Stop worrying about the weather.
  • Protect plants from bugs, birds or pesky nibbling rabbits, squirrels and other wildlife.
  • Maintain correct and consistent moisture and temperature levels for bigger, healthier, and faster growing plants.
  • Use built-in potting benches to work with ease and comfort. No aching back or kneeling in the dirt. (*potting bench optional)
  • Store containers, tools, and gardening supplies in one convenient place.

Choosing Right Prebuilt Greenhouse

Choosing the right backyard greenhouse for sale is not a decision to take lightly. There are plenty of options available and many models to choose from. Large big box stores sell greenhouses. Greenhouse kits are also available online. However, neither of these is necessarily the best choice in the long run. Here’s why… A Stoltzfus Structures pre-built greenhouse is the right choice for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the strength, weight, quality and durability of our raw materials ensure that a Stoltzfus greenhouse stands up to harsh wind and weather throughout the seasons year after year after year. Another advantage is that Stoltzfus prefab greenhouses are NOT kits. We deliver them fully assembled and ready for immediate use. You won’t waste time fumbling around putting our backyard greenhouse together. As soon as we get it off the truck, you can dig right in and start getting your hands dirty! Let the planting begin!

  • Attractive, classic design in a wide range of sizes: 6’ x 8’ – 10′ x 16′ or larger
  • PREBUILT greenhouses are delivered fully-assembled and ready for immediate use – THIS IS NOT A KIT!
  • No special site prep required
  • We ship throughout the Continental United States
  • Available year round

Green House Interior

Base / Frame / Foundation

As a general rule, greenhouses are relatively light compared to their size and may blow over or suffer wind damage if not properly anchored. We’re proud to say, there’s nothing lightweight or flimsy about a Stoltzfus Structures greenhouse. They’re heavy and sturdy incorporating a robust 4×4 pressure-treated wood foundation ‘frame’ that keeps the structure upright, square and solidly in place.

This extra strong foundation – or base frame – securely holds the structure together AND enables you to easily anchor it firmly to the ground for increased peace of mind.

The pressure treated wood also reduces (or eliminates) damage from dampness in the ground and insect infestations.

Siding And Framing

  • Stud walls and roof rafters are sturdy Southern Yellow Pine (‘SYP’) 2 x4s  24” o.c. construction.
  • Increase the capacity (… and beauty!) inside your greenhouse by adding hooks for hanging plants. The solid framing won’t let you – or your plants – down!
  • Steeper pitch roof sheds snow efficiently
  • Roof and wall panels are heavy-duty 8mm twin wall polycarbonate. This UV-resistant greenhouse material is 12 times lighter than glass.

Clear polycarbonate panels make up the roof and sides of the greenhouse. They are neatly sandwiched between the interior wood framing and composite exterior trim.

The composite trim is a multi-purpose construction material made of cellular PVC. It is durable and long-lasting. It does NOT require paint for protection but holds paint well should you decide you want something other than the standard white.

Composite trim never needs maintenance. And, unlike wood, it resists mold, mildew, stains, and scratches. It’s splinter-free and comes with a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The 8mm twin wall polycarbonate panels offer improved insulation for both hot and cold weather and are superior to fragile glass or plastic sometimes used in greenhouses. In the unlikely event these durable panels need replacement, simply unscrew the trim and put in a new panel.

  • Highly flame resistant, with a flashpoint of 1,166˚F.

Our greenhouses are beautifully crafted from the ground up by Amish carpenters and include a pressure treated, 4 x 4 Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) base that will stand the test of time. All that’s required is a level, well-drained area. A specially prepared site is not necessary unless you prefer that route.

The ‘floor’ of your greenhouse can be finished in a myriad of ways before or after delivery…

  • Concrete slab
  • Pavers, bricks
  • Gravel
  • Mulch
  • Your choice!

Upgrades make it even better!

Have us add a sturdy, built-in potting bench. Benches are attached to the wall creating a stable, wobble-free workspace.

Securely screwed onto wooden bench frame so there’s no slipping or sliding around. Square holes allow water, potting soil and debris to drain right through.

Hello. We had a Pavilion installed by Stoltzfus Structures and they did an excellent job putting it together. Very nice and respectful gentleman. Would definitely recommend them for a backyard addition like a pergola, Pavilion or shed. Thank You

We have ordered two sheds over the years. The folks at Stozfus were easy to work with and very professional. They customized to our needs and arranged for demolition of our old shed and and building a foundation for the new one. Would highly recommend.

From the start, working with My Sheds/Stolzfus Structures (from a distance) was easy. The staff was very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and the garage they built for us is beyond our expectations. The team was quite patient and supportive when we had several delays related to local permitting. The on-site crews were very polite and left the structure and worksite very clean every day. We whole heartedly recommend them and would contract with them again without hesitation!

We had a great experience with Stoltzfus Structures. They were courteous, professional and knowledgeable. We had a great experience personalizing our structure with colors, amenities. We used their site prep group and they did a great job as well. Really felt like great value and service. On time and well manufactured structure. Highly recommend

My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Alvin and the team at Stoltzfus Structures! From the moment we reached out, till the moment they left our beautiful new garage on our property, the experience was perfect. We visited their location in Pennsylvania which was impressive and very much worth the drive! We started working with Alvin who patiently helped us design a structure to perfection and James who drew it up several times until it was in compliance with our town’s stringent guidelines. They were patient with our questions and concerns, and guided us through the process seamlessly! Delivery day was very exciting and they worked quickly and left the backyard in great condition! We are so pleased with our Stoltzfus Structure and have been recommending them to everyone. Quality work, fair pricing and they were a breeze to work with! Thank you Stoltzfus Structures!
