Polycarbonate Greenhouse
A polycarbonate greenhouse is a type of greenhouse that uses polycarbonate panels—not glass—as the main covering material.
Polycarbonate greenhouses offer several key advantages over glass structures. They are lightweight, highly impact-resistant, and provide excellent insulation. The multi-wall panels significantly reduce heat loss, improving overall energy efficiency, while their strong impact resistance makes them ideal for regions prone to hail or strong winds. In addition, polycarbonate panels are easy to install, less likely to break over time, and provide a more practical option for growers who prioritize durability and energy savings.

PC Greenhouse Type
PC Sheet Greenhouse
A PC Sheet Greenhouse is a greenhouse covered with polycarbonate (PC) sheets instead of glass or plastic film. PC sheets are lightweight, impact-resistant, and provide excellent thermal insulation and light diffusion.
This type of greenhouse offers good heat retention, strong durability, and stable light transmission, making it suitable for various climates and long-term crop production.
Full Roof Vent PC Sheet Greenhouse
A Full Roof Vent PC Sheet Greenhouse is a polycarbonate sheet greenhouse designed with roof vents that can open across the entire roof area. This full-opening vent system allows hot air to escape quickly and efficiently, providing strong natural ventilation and precise temperature control.
By combining the insulation performance of PC sheets with maximum roof ventilation, this greenhouse type is well suited for warm climates and crops that require high airflow and stable growing conditions.
How We Help You Build a Polycarbonate Greenhouse
First, choose the right location, preferably a spot that receives full sunlight throughout the day and has convenient access to water and electricity. Next, prepare the site by clearing debris, leveling the ground, and building a stable foundation if needed. Then proceed with layout planning, determining the placement of doors, vents, and the orientation of the polycarbonate panels to ensure optimal light and airflow.
When construction begins, start by assembling the frame, followed by installing the polycarbonate panels. PC panels are lightweight, transparent, and easy to handle, but they should be installed carefully to avoid damage. After the main structure is complete, proceed with the finishing work, such as installing doors, ventilation systems, shading accessories, and checking the entire structure for stability.
Building a polycarbonate greenhouse can be relatively complex, and the exact process should be tailored to your specific needs. Contact FANGCHENG today to get a more detailed and customized solution.
How to Maintain Your Polycarbonate Greenhouse
Polycarbonate greenhouses are relatively easy to maintain, but regular care is still essential. FANGCHENG provides a professional polycarbonate greenhouse maintenance guide to help you keep everything in optimal condition.
The most important task is keeping the panels clean, as dust buildup can reduce light transmission. Use mild soapy water and a soft cloth for cleaning, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may scratch the surface. It is also important to regularly inspect the greenhouse for signs of wear or damage, including seals, vents, doors, and any cracks or scratches on the panels. Additionally, monitor the temperature and humidity levels inside the greenhouse, and add ventilation or heating equipment if needed. Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your greenhouse and ensure a more stable growing environment for your plants.
Polycarbonate Greenhouse FAQs
How long will a polycarbonate greenhouse last?
A high-quality polycarbonate greenhouse typically lasts 10–20 years, depending on panel thickness, UV protection, and local climate. With proper maintenance, the frame and panels can remain durable and stable for even longer.
Do polycarbonate greenhouses stay warm in winter?
Yes. Polycarbonate panels provide excellent insulation, especially multi-wall sheets. They trap heat more effectively than glass, helping the greenhouse stay warm in winter and reducing heating costs.
Is it better to have glass or polycarbonate in a greenhouse?
Both materials have advantages: glass offers higher light transmission, while polycarbonate provides better insulation, impact resistance, and energy efficiency. For harsh climates or year-round growing, polycarbonate is usually the more practical choice.
