With locations in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and South Dakota, Montana Shed Center (MSC) is a leading manufacturer and retailer of high-quality storage sheds, barns, cabin shells, greenhouses, and other outdoor structures.
At MSC they offer a budget-friendly greenhouse perfect for those with smaller budgets and space, alongside their meticulously crafted Alpine greenhouse built from rough cut lumber. You can also design your own Montana greenhouse to match your personal style with their customization feature.
There are many types of greenhouses that you can buy or build, from simple, cost-effective structures to elaborate, expensive ones. The style and size will depend on the climate where you live and the type of plants you want to grow as well as your budget. With so many greenhouse options to choose from, you are sure to find a gardening solution that fits your specific needs.
In addition to picking the right greenhouse structure, choosing the right greenhouse covering is equally important. The success of your greenhouse depends on it! Plants need light to grow and flourish. Without the right kind of light, your plants will not grow strong and healthy.
Common greenhouse coverings are polyethylene film, fiberglass, acrylic, polycarbonate, and glass. Each has its pros and cons. Several factors should be considered in your decision including quality of light, UV-protection, durability and impact strength, thermal efficiency, and cost.
Committed to providing only high-quality structures, MSC prefers to use LEXAN™ THERMOCLEAR™ 10mm clear twin wall polycarbonate panels to cover their greenhouses. “It was mostly the strength and loading properties of the product that we really went for due to the area we serve our customers at does get snow. We needed something that could hold up to the northern winters.”
“The clear color goes with any building and it’s just easier to install the 2-sided UV.”
UV-protected on both sides, the LEXAN™ THERMOCLEAR™ 10mm panel reduces installation mistakes and rework, saving time and labor costs. This UV protective layer blocks the harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. This feature not only protects the panel from yellowing, but it also makes the greenhouse environment safer for you.
The advantages of using multiwall polycarbonate panels are numerous. They offer the greenhouse grower the ideal combination of impact strength, thermal insulation, flame and condensation control, and long-term light transmission. Easy to handle, fabricate, and install, multiwall polycarbonate will live up to your expectations season after season.
“Multiwall polycarbonate panels are easy to install and a lot more affordable.”
