Greenhouse Options for Littleton

  • Riga 3 Large Polycarbonate Greenhouse with Flowers

    Polycarbonate Greenhouses

    Twin-wall polycarbonate offers excellent insulation critical for Littleton'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 afternoon thunderstorms that sweep across the South Platte River corridor.

    Best for: Year-round growing, hail protection, energy efficiency, lower maintenance

    Glass Greenhouses

    Classic 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 during Littleton's spring wind events along the open terrain near Chatfield. Glass greenhouses make stunning focal points for properties with views of the Front Range peaks or the rolling landscape toward Roxborough.

    Best for: Maximum light, traditional aesthetics, heat-loving plants, showcase gardens

    Glass Greenhouses 

  • 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 Littleton's charming blend of historic character and established residential neighborhoods. Cedar construction adds warmth and natural beauty perfect for properties near downtown's tree-lined streets or those seeking a timeless look that pairs beautifully with Littleton's mature landscaping.

    Best for: Premium aesthetics, natural materials, properties with classic/historic 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 is particularly effective in Littleton, where south-facing exposure captures full sun along the Platte River valley while polycarbonate on the north side buffers against cold air that settles along the creek drainages and open spaces during winter nights.

    Best for: Balancing aesthetics with efficiency, optimizing for site-specific conditions, extended season growing

Littleton-Specific Greenhouse Considerations

  • Elevation & Climate:
    At 5,351 feet, Littleton 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:
    Littleton experiences consistent moderate winds throughout the year, with stronger gusts common in spring when afternoon storms build along the Front Range. Open areas near Chatfield Reservoir and along the South Platte corridor can see particularly gusty conditions. 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 Littleton 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:
    Littleton's average last frost is around May 12, with first frost around September 28, roughly 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 Littleton 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.

FAQ's

How long does greenhouse installation take?

Most residential greenhouses are fully installed in 1-2 days. Smaller hobby greenhouses (6x8 or smaller) often take just 4-8 hours. Larger structures or those requiring foundation preparation may take longer. We'll give you a specific timeline when we assess your site.

Can you install greenhouses year-round in Colorado?

We install during most of the year, though we avoid periods of heavy snow or extreme cold (below 20°F). Spring and fall are our busiest seasons, so book early for optimal timing. Summer and winter installations are absolutely possible with good weather windows.
