Bringing your greenhouse vision to life starts with smart design choices. Every decision you make with your designer impacts the cost and performance of your greenhouse, now and in the future.

In this webinar, we'll show you how your greenhouse design sets the foundation for creating a greenhouse that's functional, cost-efficient, and compliant.

What We’ll Cover:
• Codes and Regulations: Understand how local and state codes, permits, and regulations shape your design. We’ll discuss loading requirements and why energy codes are becoming a bigger deal to stay compliant.
• Engineering 101: Learn how design elements—like material gauges and truss types—affect the cost and structure of your greenhouse.
• Behind-the-Scenes Design: From creating drawings for manufacturing parts to getting your sign-off, we’ll cover the average timeline for design and the steps to prepare you for a successful build. 

"Let’s Design Your Greenhouse" is the second part of our "Dear Grower" series that guides you through building a greenhouse from concept to construction and beyond.

Dear Grower: Let’s Design Your Greenhouse

Join us for the first webinar in our “Dear Grower” series, where we'll guide you through the ins and outs of starting this journey right. Elmer Grosser, a former project manager and current Owner of Diefenbacher Greenhouses, and Keith Bemerer, a Prospiant Sales Rep, will share their insights on what it takes to build a strong, successful partnership from the get-go.

Building a greenhouse is a big deal, and it all starts with that first call: “I want to build a greenhouse.”

But what comes next? How do you get on the same page with your sales rep and make sure that what you discuss translates into reality?

In this session, you’ll learn:
• The key questions to ask your sales rep when you're ready to start talking about a new greenhouse
• What both you and your sales rep need to bring to the table to make this project work
• How to figure out exactly what you want in your greenhouse—and where to find inspiration
• Tips for navigating the tricky balance between your wish list and what’s realistic
• How to plan for the future, so your greenhouse meets your needs for years to come
• Best practices for keeping the relationship strong before, during, and after the build—whether it’s a one-off project or the start of something bigger.

Dear Grower: So You Want to Build a Greenhouse?

Building a commercial greenhouse isn’t a quick cash grab; it’s a serious investment.  

The final price tag of a commercial greenhouse depends on a slew of factors you need to consider before you build to avoid hidden surprises and cost overruns that derail your budget, so let’s have a frank talk about money matters.

Join our greenhouse experts for a panel discussion as we dive into how to make smart moves when determining building costs to get exactly what you want in your greenhouse without sacrificing quality and while getting the best return on your investment.

How Much Does a Commercial Greenhouse Actually Cost

Hear from Mark Reich and Nick Earls about best practices for integrating environmental controls into your cannabis greenhouse or indoor grow.
