Agra Tech's Continental Greenhouse is a Gothic Gutter Connect structure designed to be covered with poly. A 4' wide continuous single or double ridge vent can be added to provide excellent natural ventilation. Extra large gutters add strength and carry 60% more runoff away from the greenhouse.
The Continental is recommended for all climates, from snow to sun. One of our customers says:
In the winter, our climate can be really challenging - winds in excess of 90 mph and snowfall. We have had 2-3' of snow in the gutters and they have stayed strong - no bowing or bending. These houses are as steady as a rock. ~ Bowdoinham, ME
In California where wind and heat can be the biggest challenges one customer says:
I have two Continental houses and they have the best growing environment of any greenhouse I have ever been in. ~ Watsonville, CA
Another customer says:
Agra Tech has every right to be proud of the Continental. ~ Jerseyville, IL
For now there are 2 widths available, 30' or 40'. Let us know what your needs are and we can make it happen.
Note: Some of you may recognize the name Continental that has been absent for a while from our literature (but still being built). Well it is BACK and updated to meet today's new demands. The roof pitch has been lowered just enough to reduce the new IBC wind loads on it, but it still does a wonderful job of natural ventilation and keeping your crops cool below. The bottom chord will be flat (of course unless you want it arched). Curtain can be flat at the bottom chord or slope-flat-slope.

Warmerdam is highly impressed by the Agra Tech way of doing things. “You call companies now and good luck, they aren’t going to get back to you quickly or at all,” he said. “We hadn’t talked to the people at Agra Tech in quite some time, but when I reached out to them, they called us back within an hour. Everything was all good—just like the old days!

PlantCentrics is how we at Agra Tech create a greenhouse system that works for you. It simply means that the greenhouse’s functionality is designed around the plant. What does the plant need to thrive? How do the plant’s requirements change? How does the plant move efficiently in and out of the space?
We design the greenhouse and environmental equipment around the benches and the benches around the plant’s needs.
It’s about the plant AND your growing technique and business plan. It can be traditional hands-on or highly automated. Shipping, receiving, and processing are taken into consideration. All this is taken into account so that you end up with the best performing greenhouse system possible.
