A basic 50 ft greenhouse made of PVC pipe and plastic sheeting can cost around $500, while a more complex structure made of aluminum framing and tempered glass can cost upwards of $10,000. It is important to carefully consider the intended use and budget when selecting the type of greenhouse to build.
To maximize space, you can opt for vertical gardening, which provides more yields per square foot. A greenhouse may cost between 10 and 100 dollars per square foot. If we convert this to greenhouse construction cost per acre, you should expect the greenhouse cost for 1 acre to fall somewhere between $40,000 and $100,000.
A dome greenhouse is round with a domed peak. Its round shape helps absorb heat and light. It is made using a metal or PVC frame covered with glass or plastic sheeting. One square foot costs between $10 and $25 to build. A spacious domed greenhouse provides enough space for plants to grow and people to walk through.
A-frame greenhouses are fairly simple, permanent structures that cost $25 to $35 per square foot. Their glass-glazed design makes them costlier than other types of greenhouses, but their shape makes them a popular option in areas with heavy snowfall.
DIY greenhouses are relatively cheaper than buying pre-installed ones, and you don’t have to engage a professional. A small DIY greenhouse will cost a hundred dollars on the lower side. However, some kits may cost a few thousand dollars, increasing the overall DIY greenhouse cost. There are various types and styles of greenhouses.
Depending on the size, materials, and labor costs, building a greenhouse can be cheaper than buying one. Additionally, building a greenhouse allows for customization to fit specific needs, such as the type of plants being grown and their required environment.
