Attractive and Rugged

The Matterhorn stands alone as our most attractive, rugged, and traditionally-styled gutter-connected greenhouse. Inspired by the majestic peak in the Swiss Alps that draws intrepid climbers to risk their lives each summer scaling its rugged terrain and ridges, the Matterhorn greenhouse is a high-quality, strong and attractive structure ideally suited for garden centers, growers and schools in any climate in North America. The Matterhorn can withstand heavy snow loads and wind loads, and that means you can get a good night’s sleep during even the worst winter storms and hurricanes.

Matterhorn FAQ's

Can I have a building on the end of my greenhouse or next to my greenhouse?

Yes, since the Matterhorn is so strong, it can take uneven snow loads that are built up by adjoining buildings. Our greenhouse technicians can visit your facility and explain to you exactly how your greenhouse needs to be constructed to prevent leaking and make the construction process simple.

Can I mount my Matterhorn on a concrete wall or pad?

Yes, we can weld plates to the columns for installation on concrete walls, and we can also help you or your contractor design the wall.

Can RGS do custom fabrication of connecting hallways, farmer’s porches or other applications?

Yes, since we are a manufacturer, we can help you with certain applications within reason. We have provided materials for all of the above, as well as lean-to style greenhouses.

Can the Matterhorn connect to other greenhouses?

No, the Matterhorn cannot connect to other greenhouses, nor can most other manufacturers perform this difficult feat. However, we have ways of adapting to make smooth transitions with certain other greenhouse manufacturers. Each situation is closely analyzed.

Can the Matterhorn support the weight of hanging baskets or crop support systems?

Yes, very easily with the heavy-duty truss design.

Can you provide me with stamped engineering plans?

Yes, although there is a cost associated with engineering plans depending on the scope of the project. This process can take up to three weeks with a custom drawing and an engineer’s stamp.

How can I dress up the Matterhorn to look amazing as a retail greenhouse?

We can paint the flashing any color to add pizzazz. We can have a clear glass/acrylic end wall or side wall. We have roll-up sides. We can use bronze polycarbonate on the roof or walls. You can have a unique knee wall. We can do many different things to help dress up the greenhouse.

How long does it take for delivery?

Due to our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, we can usually deliver a greenhouse within four weeks. Most of our competitors take six weeks or even longer!

If I have roof vents and side vents in my greenhouse, how do I control the equipment?

We will provide a controller which can control vents, heating, air circulation fans, shade curtains and other equipment. Typically, vents are programmed to open in increments for maximum control of the cooling process. See our environmental control section for more information.

What is the typical cost per square foot for a Matterhorn?

Typical cost for the frame only is about $7per square foot. Pricing depends on overall width and length of the building, plus gutter height. The total cost of the Matterhorn usually ranges from $20 per square foot for a basic package to $50 per square foot for all the bells and whistles.

What type of coverings can I use on the Matterhorn?

You can use polycarbonate, polyethylene film, or glass (walls only). If you are on a tight budget, poly on the roof can be retrofitted at a later date with polycarbonate.

Why is the Matterhorn so easy to construct?

The Matterhorn is so simple to construct because we had the help of greenhouse builders in the design process, and we always listen to you to make changes to streamline the construction process. RGS also provides very simple step-by-step instructions. Call us for an instruction manual, and you will see how easy it is to build a Matterhorn greenhouse.
