ducer (LP) Greenhouses, sets the bar even higher by
creating one of the greatest light deprivation green-
house setups of all time.
Licensed Producer (LP) Greenhouse
The Licensed Producer Greenhouse is the di-
rect result of decades of cultivation experience and
knowledge combined to maximize productivity, in-
crease efficiency, and streamline workflow. Each LP
is constructed of the highest quality materials (tubular
galvanized steel) and is built for longevity, effective-
ness, and reliability. The LP Greenhouse is separated
into multiple growing sections for flowering and veg-
etative growth. In fact, the LP has a 3:1 ratio of space
for flowering and vegetative growth, respectively.
There is also a central corridor which separates the
vegetative and flowering sections. This central cor-
ridor is ideal for equipment operation and for clean
and secure movement of plant material. If desired,
the entire structure can be set up as flowering only,
which means the horticulturist would need a separate
vegetative structure/area.
The Licensed Producer Greenhouse is available
in five different widths: 18’, 24’, 30’, 36’, and 42’. The
12’ on-center columns and truss spacing allow more
light into the greenhouse and give more freedom of
movement within the structure. One of the biggest
advantages of building a Licensed Producer Green-
house is its 80% reduction in concrete costs (com-
pared with other leading greenhouse designs). The
reduction in concrete costs comes from the LP’s de-
sign, which only calls for concrete under the footings
and central corridor, instead of floating a concrete
slab under the entire structure. The LP Greenhouse
comes with a 6:12 pitched roof and specialized con-
densation control with the structure’s unique conden-
sation controlling purlins and air circulation. In fact,

the LP is considered a “dry house” due to its built-in
condensation controls. Built to last, the four inch
square sidewall columns and knee braces provide
ample protection against strong winds. The pitched
roof easily sheds snow to decrease heavy snow loads.
A LP Greenhouse can also be custom engineered for
ultra-high snow and wind loads.
When combined with the optional ground cover,
rolling benches, bench heat, supplemental lighting,
and dehumidification, the Licensed Producer Green-
house is the ideal structure for year-round produc-
tion. The LP utilizes passive cooling through its side
and double ridge vents. This greenhouse is also ideal
for commercial applications with gutter-connected
options. Although the standard eave height is 14’, op-
tional gutter heights (10’ and 12’) are available upon
request; however, they may require custom engineer-
ing. Another unique option of the LP Greenhouse is
that a section of the frame can be glazed with sheet
metal and insulated for use as an office or warehouse
space. For example, instead of using a section as a
vegetative area, the section could be turned into an
office space that is directly connected to the grow-
ing space. This creates a more fluid and secure work
environment. The Licensed Producer Greenhouse is
low angle, making it ideal for winter lighting. The
polycarbonate glazing makes the LP a more secure
structure than many of the other greenhouses on the
market. All LP Greenhouses meet NGMA engineering
standards. The LP is also available with Forever Flow-
ering Greenhouses Auto Flowering automated light
deprivation kit with manual override.
Local Codes and Time Frames
Before purchasing any greenhouse, it is a good
idea for the grower to research his or her local codes
to make sure the structure will be approved. Green-
