With so many greenhouses available, today’s growers often come to us for recommendations. Rest assured, GGS has the right commercial greenhouse solution to help you succeed. A typical greenhouse setup with roof venting is the preferred choice for floral crops. Side venting of the greenhouse structure is optional, depending on what you’re growing. GGS will recommend, design, construct, and install the greenhouse style based on the floral crop type. We’re your all-in-one greenhouse partner.

BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE
We recommend adding a headhouse to your greenhouse design. A headhouse is an extension of the greenhouse structure with an insulated panel, so it’s comfortable for workers and plants. Adding a headhouse to your operations can maximize productivity with a space dedicated to the people who help your operation succeed. This area is perfect for packaging products, as a dedicated potting room, and for planting. We can also design space for storage, office space, and other facilities.
INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY WITH ROLLING BENCHES
Our custom-built greenhouse benches are ideal for optimizing space efficiency in commercial growing environments. With up to 50% more production space, we recommend rolling benches over stationary benches. Growers can increase profits by eliminating the need for dedicated aisles. Designed for ease of use, one-touch easy roll bench tops feature all-aluminum construction to prevent corrosion. We’ve also kept workers in mind with mitered corners to prevent ripped clothing. For floral greenhouses, we recommend rolling benches or a rolling container system.
Why Choose GGS Rolling Benches?
- Anti-tip brackets for added assurance and safety
- Designed for easy installation, to get your operation started faster
- Precise height adjustments reduce strain on workers
- GGS Benches offer the smoothest and lightest roll in the industry
- Multiple top options and support
- Vertical shelving is available on all GGS benches

What type of heating system should I use in my floral greenhouse?
Two types of heating suit floral greenhouses best: hot water heating and forced air heating. The heating method you choose depends on the amount of space being heated and the crop’s requirements for optimal growth.
- Hot water heating: Heat radiates from under the bench or in the floor, perimeter, overhead, or gutter melt (if in the northern hemisphere). Powered by gas or propane-fueled boilers, this is the most even method of greenhouse heating.
- Forced air heating: Recommended for smaller ranges and free-standing structures
How can I control humidity?
For floral crops that are humidity sensitive, dehumidification units are an option.
What kind of lighting should be installed in my floral greenhouse?
Lighting is required for long day stages or for supplemental lighting (during times when Mother Nature needs a hand).
Does my floral greenhouse require irrigation?
Yes. Irrigation brings water and nutrients directly to the plant. Options range from the simple dosatron system to direct injection with stock tanks.
Should my floral greenhouse have fans?
Circulating air inside your greenhouse is essential. This helps plants grow strong and regulates the temperature inside. In addition, a gentle movement of air throughout a greenhouse can deter pests from landing and molds from settling on plants. GGS recommends two types of fans for floral greenhouse installation: HAF fans and vertical airflow fans.
- HAF Fans: These are ideal for optimal airflow. Depending on the crop you’re growing, GGS will carefully design your fan system, calculating the precise spacing and throw of each fan.
- Vertical Airflow Fans: These greenhouse fans are optional and help deal with humidity. They are usually used in addition to HAF fans as a full system.
Can I automate my floral greenhouse with computer controls?
In small greenhouse structures, thermostats and timers can be utilized. Larger greenhouse structures can employ full-scale control systems sized accordingly for climate and irrigation control. With CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture), growers can even cultivate multiple floral crop types within the same greenhouse!
What is shading, and how can it help my floral greenhouse operation?
Growers know their crops, and more delicate plants require specialized exposure to sunlight. Greenhouse shading is a great solution for reducing sunlight exposure, keeping heat close to your plants, and giving growers an advantage over Mother Nature! At the touch of a button, our automated shade integrations can give plants a break from sunlight to promote optimal growing conditions and keep the heat at the plant canopy during those cold winter nights.
Growing crops that need shorter daytime growing conditions? GGS has you covered there, too. Our greenhouse experts can include blackout in greenhouse designs to shorten daylight exposure for delicate plants.
Pro tip: If your greenhouse uses cool pads, we strongly recommend shading. Growers can close the shading during periods of intense heat and sun to help the cool pad run more efficiently. Closing the shade during poor weather can help keep heat in, which maximizes energy efficiency.
Can fog help my floral greenhouse operation?
High-pressure fog can be utilized for cooling when cool pads are not used. The water droplets produced need to be very small to provide effective cooling. Tiny droplets ensure that only a little humidity is added to the climate. The mark of effective fog is that water droplets should not be present on crop leaves.
