Greenhouse Equipment List & Price Guide 2026

The Ultimate Greenhouse Equipment List: A Comprehensive Guide

When discussing greenhouse construction or establishment, many investors only worry about the land and the seeds, unaware that a wrong choice in greenhouse construction materials or purchasing low-quality equipment can blow away their entire capital in one stormy night or a freezing spell.

At Gol Afrooz Greenhouse Construction Company, as a direct manufacturer and executor managing over 95 hectares of successful projects annually in Iran and abroad, we have seen time and again how small technical details make the difference between bankruptcy and successful exports. If you are looking for a greenhouse equipment list that is not only complete but also provides technical and price insights, you have come to the right place. In this comprehensive article from the Gol Afrooz blog, we review the A to Z of greenhouse material sales and vital equipment.

Greenhouse Structure and Skeleton Equipment

The first and perhaps most important part of the greenhouse equipment price list relates to the skeleton and main body. Imagine owning a greenhouse full of cucumbers or tomatoes; what happens if the structure cannot withstand the crop load or the pressure of wind and snow?

In modern greenhouse construction, the era of using welded pipes and black iron is over. According to the standards of the Agricultural Engineering Organization and the experience we have gained in international projects, the best option is using Hot-Dip Galvanized structures. Why? Because the greenhouse environment is humid, and ordinary iron rots quickly.

Standard and Popular Structure Types

Choosing the structure type directly affects the greenhouse construction cost. Two of the most popular structures we design and execute at Gol Afrooz are:

  1. Spanish Structure (Gothic):

    These structures have tall, pointed arches. Their specific design allows snow to slide off the roof easily, and air ventilation is excellent due to the high height (about 5 to 6 meters or more). This structure is ideal for hydroponic greenhouse construction and windy regions.

  2. Tunnel Structure (Quonset):

    This model has curved roofs and usually a lower height compared to the Spanish model. It is considered a more economic option for regions with mild climates and soil cultivation, achieving a cheap but resistant greenhouse.

Note: All structures manufactured by Gol Afrooz are 100% Bolt & Nut. This means no welding is done on-site, which would destroy the galvanized coating. This feature increases your structure's lifespan by decades.

Greenhouse Covering Materials

After the skeleton, it's time for the covering. Choosing the right covering plays a key role in wholesale greenhouse material sales because this layer controls light, temperature, and humidity. Let's take a closer look at the options:

1. UV Plastics (Polyethylene)

The most common and economical cover is wide greenhouse nylon. However, be careful not to use just any nylon; you must use plastics with specific additives:

  • Anti-UV: To prevent nylon degradation in the sun (usually 3%, 5%, or 10%).

  • IR (Infrared Absorber): To prevent heat loss during cold nights and reduce fuel consumption.

  • EVA: To prevent plastic brittleness in the cold.

  • Anti-Fog/Anti-Drip: To prevent water droplets from dripping onto plants, which is the main cause of fungal diseases.

2. Polycarbonate Sheets

If you are looking for resistant side walls, Polycarbonate is excellent. These sheets are twin-wall or multi-wall and create superb thermal insulation. The greenhouse structure price with polycarbonate covering is slightly higher, but it reduces heating costs in the long run.

3. Glass Covering

Building a glass greenhouse is the most luxurious and expensive option. It has excellent light transmission and longevity but imposes heavy weight on the structure and requires a very strong foundation. Therefore, if you have a limited budget and are looking to build a cheap greenhouse, high-quality 5-layer nylons are the best option. However, for very cold regions, a combination of polycarbonate (walls) and nylon (roof) is suggested.

Greenhouse Heating and Cooling Equipment

Plants need a "comfort temperature" to grow. It might interest you to know that according to global reports, proper temperature management can increase production efficiency by up to 40%. In the greenhouse equipment list, HVAC systems hold a special place.

Heating Systems

  1. Hot Air Furnace (Heater): The most common system in Iran. It distributes hot air through plastic or metal ducts in the hall.

  2. Floor Heating (Boiler & Pipe): The most suitable option for hydroponic greenhouses and vegetables. It delivers heat exactly to the plant root and has more optimal energy consumption.

  3. Jet Heater: Usually used as auxiliary power, as it may produce polluting gases.

Cooling Systems

In Iran's hot summers, cooling the greenhouse is vital:

  1. Pad & Fan System: Wet cellulose pads are installed on one side of the greenhouse and strong exhaust fans on the other. Air cools down by passing through the pads and enters the hall (Evaporative System).

  2. Fogger: By atomizing water, it both increases humidity and reduces temperature.

  3. Circulation Fan: Circular fans installed under the roof to homogenize air in all points of the greenhouse.

Looking for an exact, up-to-date price list? Since we are a direct manufacturer, our prices are highly competitive compared to middlemen. However, for a precise pro-forma invoice based on your land size, we suggest contacting our experts right now.

Specialized Hydroponic Equipment Details

If your goal is hydroponic greenhouse construction, your shopping list will be slightly different and more specialized. In soilless culture, you need millimeter precision.

  • Fertilizer Injection System: In hydroponics, there is no soil to buffer your mistakes. The machine must adjust water EC and pH moment by moment.

  • Trays and Grow Bags: Bags containing the mixture of Cocopeat and Perlite.

  • Micro-tubes and Drippers: To deliver the nutrient solution to the base of each plant.

At first glance, the cost of building a hydroponic greenhouse might seem higher than soil cultivation, but the production volume in this method can be up to 10 times that of open fields. So, this cost is a smart investment.

Factors Affecting Greenhouse Equipment and Material Prices

Many clients ask, "How much per meter?" We usually answer that greenhouse construction costs are not like buying a car; it's more like building a house. The final price depends on:

  • Topography and Slope: Uneven lands need leveling and specific foundation design.

  • Structure Height: A 6-meter structure uses more iron than a 4-meter one but offers better ventilation.

  • Vent Types: Roof vents (motorized vs. manual) change the price.

  • Accessories: Do you need energy-saving screens, fogging systems, or full automation?

So far, we've learned that buying from a greenhouse material manufacturer like Gol Afrooz can save you 15% to 20% in costs by eliminating middlemen.

FAQs About Greenhouse Construction Equipment & Materials

1. What is the cost of building per square meter of greenhouse in 2025/2026?

The final price depends on the structure type, column height, cover type, and internal equipment. However, since Gol Afrooz is a direct manufacturer of connections and pipes, our prices are calculated without middlemen and are completely competitive.

2. Does Gol Afrooz only sell the structure or supply accessories too?

We are a turnkey executor. From designing and manufacturing the greenhouse structure to supplying nylon, pads and fans, heating systems, and even specialized irrigation and hydroponic equipment, we do it all.

3. What is the difference between Spanish structures and ordinary ones?

Spanish structures, which are our specialty, have much higher resistance against severe winds and heavy snow loads. Also, due to the Gothic design and high height, air ventilation is much better, which directly affects increased crop tonnage.

4. Are bank loans available for purchasing materials and building greenhouses?

Yes, all structures and projects executed by Gol Afrooz comply with the standards of the Agricultural Engineering Organization. Therefore, we provide the official plans and pro-forma invoices needed to present to the bank and the Ministry of Agriculture to receive loans and facilities.

5. How long do delivery and installation take?

This depends on the project size. However, because our system is completely Bolt & Nut (Portable) and parts are pre-fabricated in the factory, the installation speed on-site is very high and much faster than old welded structures.
