Greenhouse Options for Golden
-
Polycarbonate Greenhouses
Polycarbonate GreenhousesTwin-wall polycarbonate offers excellent insulation critical for Golden's cold winter nights and dramatic temperature swings between day and night. These panels diffuse harsh Colorado sunlight, reducing the risk of plant scorching during our intense summer days at elevation. Nearly unbreakable, making them highly resistant to hail and impact from windblown debris during those powerful Chinook winds.
Best for: Year-round growing, hail protection, energy efficiency, lower maintenance
-
Glass Greenhouses
Glass GreenhousesClassic aesthetic with maximum light transmission for light-loving plants. Glass provides the traditional greenhouse experience with crystal-clear views and timeless beauty. Heavier construction requires more careful installation and secure anchoring, especially important in Golden's windy conditions near the mesas. Glass greenhouses make stunning focal points for properties with mountain or valley views.
Best for: Maximum light, traditional aesthetics, heat-loving plants, showcase gardens
-
Cedar Greenhouses
Premium natural wood construction featuring beautiful, aromatic Western Red Cedar frames. Cedar naturally resists rot, insects, and Colorado's intense UV exposure, aging to an elegant silver-gray patina or maintaining its warm honey color with simple treatment. These greenhouses pair polycarbonate or glass panels with solid cedar framework, creating a stunning structure that complements Golden's mountain setting. Cedar construction adds rustic elegance perfect for properties near Lookout Mountain or those seeking a natural aesthetic that blends with Colorado's landscape.
Best for: Premium aesthetics, natural materials, properties with mountain/rustic design themes, long-term durability
-
Hybrid Greenhouses
Combining the best of both materials, hybrid greenhouses typically feature glass panels on south-facing sides for maximum light transmission and polycarbonate on north, east, or west sides for superior insulation. This configuration optimizes growing conditions while managing energy costs during Golden's cold winters.
Best for: Balancing aesthetics with efficiency, optimizing for site-specific conditions, extended season growing
Golden-Specific Greenhouse Considerations
- Elevation & Climate:
At 5,675 feet, Golden sits high enough that UV intensity is noticeably stronger than at sea level. Polycarbonate panels naturally filter some UV while still allowing excellent growing light through. Temperature swings can be dramatic, 50°F between day and night isn't unusual in spring and fall. Your greenhouse acts as a buffer, moderating these extremes. - Wind Considerations:
Golden is known for downslope winds, especially in winter and spring. We anchor all greenhouses with secure foundation systems, ground anchors for smaller models, concrete footings for larger structures. Your greenhouse will be built to handle gusts without shifting or damage. - Water Access:
Most Golden gardeners appreciate having water access near their greenhouse. We can help you plan placement that allows for easy hose connection or consider locations suitable for future drip irrigation setup. - Growing Season Extension:
Golden's average last frost is around May 15, with first frost around September 25, only 4.5 months frost-free! A greenhouse extends this dramatically. With basic winter heating (even just a small electric heater), you can grow cold-hardy crops year-round and start warm-season crops weeks early. - Permitting:
Most residential greenhouses in Golden don't require permits, but larger structures or those on permanent foundations may. We're happy to discuss your specific situation and help you determine if permits are needed.
