Gutter Connected Greenhouses
Our gutter-connected (multi-span) greenhouses are most often engineered for large-scale commercial production. By joining multiple bays under a shared roof, these structures maximize grow area while minimizing land use. They support advanced climate control systems, facilitate efficient workflow, and are designed for straightforward initial construction and modular expansion.
What is a Gutter Connected Greenhouse?
Gutter-connected greenhouses are an ideal solution for large-scale commercial greenhouse growers requiring uninterrupted growing space. These structures are designed for scalability, with individual bays joined through shared gutters to create a continuous, integrated environment. Partition walls are an options to create smaller or individualized growing environments
HighYield™ Kit or Gutter Connected Greenhouse?
In certain scenarios, a gutter-connected system may offer advantages over a HighYield™ Kit, particularly when:
- Operating in warmer climates where high insulation is unnecessary
- Working within spatial constraints that require efficient land use
- Cultivating on a large scale (typically over one acre)
- Planning for future expansion of the growing area
- Roof venting allows for more efficient operations (passive venting)
Customized Business Solutions for the Commercial Greenhouse Grower
If a gutter-connected greenhouse is determined to be the optimal solution, we offer a range of integrated upgrades to enhance system performance and adaptability, including:
- Wet wall evaporative cooling
- High-pressure fogging systems
- Automated roof venting
- Polycarbonate or ETFE roofing options
- SunSense™ environmental control system
- LED supplemental lighting
- Enclosed connecting corridors for seamless facility flow
- Headhouse structure and layout
These systems can be incorporated into a new standalone structure or added to an existing greenhouse to support phased expansion—ensuring flexibility as your operation grows.
Gutter Connected Greenhouses: Cost-Effective Design Built Around Your Needs
While commercial gutter-connected greenhouses can be a more cost-effective option for certain growers, Ceres works closely with each client to determine the most suitable structure based on their specific application, site conditions, and long-term goals. We evaluate both upfront material costs and ongoing operational expenses to ensure the selected greenhouse system delivers optimal performance and value over time.

Commercial Greenhouse Technology
One centralized system for controlling the whole environment. Monitor temperature, relative humidity, and CO2, leaf/ canopy temp, PAR, lighting zones, and outdoor weather.
We offer Ceres designed EcoLoop™ or EcoPack™ HVAC options depending on growing goals, budget, site constraints, and greenhouse type.All Ceres environmental controls are custom integrated to suit your needs.
The GAHT® system is a ground to air heat exchanger, a system often referred to as a ‘Climate Battery’. Ceres leads the industry in climate battery technology, having designed and installed more systems in greenhouses than any other company in the world.
Different crops may demand specific lighting requirements. We offer a variety of lighting solutions designed to suit the needs of each individual operation.
A NetZero greenhouse will have zero net emissions. This goal is achieved through capturing and storing energy. This can be done using a various system options.
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene is a durable, high light transmissive glazing option. It offers more than 95% light transmission, including the UV spectrum. More than other greenhouse companies, Ceres is implementing full spectrum glazings for maximum crop growth.
