Design Summary:
The Ceres Barn Kit embraces a highly functional greenhouse/head house combination. This Wyoming greenhouse sits in Wheatland. What separates the Barn Kit from our other attached head house kits is its traditional barn aesthetic, which makes it a perfect addition to a farm or homestead. It also serves as one of the cold-climate greenhouse kits suited to harsh winters. This particular client was searching for a year-round growing solution for personal veggie production and to supplement his wife’s small cut flower business. He wanted a greenhouse Wyoming winters could not stop. He uses the warehouse space to store his tractor and other farming supplies. For this owner, a greenhouse Wyoming weather cannot defeat also needed warehouse space. Being a commercial farmer, he also needed an office space for his farm business dealings so Ceres designed a separate room in the warehouse for just that purpose. Its design shows how greenhouse kits for cold climates can combine growing, storage, and office space. The greenhouse includes a GAHT® system and energy curtains to help control the temperature without using excess energy. Those features suit greenhouse kits for cold climates. To manage all his greenhouse technology, the client uses his SunSense™ controller – a building management system that continuously monitors crucial greenhouse conditions to automatically optimize the greenhouse environment. Wheatland, Wyoming is extremely cold and windy in the wintertime, but with his new greenhouse and attached warehouse, our client can grow and work comfortably no matter the weather. That is why cold climate greenhouse kits like this one include a GAHT® system and energy curtains.
