The Thermolator is one of our most popular quonset greenhouses, aka Tunnel. Growers have successfully built thousands of Thermolator greenhouses / tunnels since 1980. The Thermolator boasts the best value per square foot of all our greenhouses as it can be used for practically all crops.
The Thermolator comes in standard width of 35'. The Thermolator 35 is widely used by many tomato transplant growers.
The code Thermolator 35 has 8' sidewalls. The Non Code Thermolator 35 comes in 5' or 6' sidewalls. The tall sidewall configuration allows full use of the span and the sidewalls may be equipped with either roll-up walls or dropwalls for convenient access to crops from both sides (often used by transplant growers).
Agra Tech's Thermolator 35 Non Code is a light weight, wide span arch offering maximum square feet of ground covered for the dollar. It is for use in non-snow areas.

This greenhouse is only the beginning of an ongoing relationship with ATI and AgCon that could last for many years. "The marketplace for greenhouses is really taking off, so the game plan is for us to work more with ATI on additional structures after we complete this one," Sawyer said. "We want to pursue this as much as we possibly can, because this technology is becoming so sophisticated and it's only going to grow from there. Before I was working here, I was building clean rooms for 25 years for electronic and pharmaceutical companies, and many of their synergies are very similar. When you take things such as air changes and temperature envelopes into account, both industries are very precise and the end results are indicative of that."
