Many growers wonder why quotes for the same greenhouse type and size can vary so much. Here’s why:
1️⃣ Material Quality
The frame coating thickness, light transmission rate of the covering film, insulation materials, and fittings all directly affect the durability and maintenance costs. A cheaper price often means higher expenses in the long run due to lower quality materials.
2️⃣ Construction Standards
Professional manufacturers follow strict construction standards for foundations, structural accuracy, and sealing, ensuring strong wind and snow resistance. Lower-cost suppliers often cut corners, which can create hidden risks for the grower.
3️⃣ Scope of Service
Higher quotes typically include site inspections, customized designs, installation, and after-sales support. Lower quotes usually cover just basic materials with additional costs for transport, installation, and services.
Key takeaway:
A greenhouse that looks the same may not be the same. Different materials, workmanship, and services mean very different costs and risks. Don’t settle for the lowest price—invest in the right solution for long-term success. 🌱
