THE GRAND PEAK™

The Grand Peak structure is the pinnacle that Atlas can provide. The sleek, upscale design paired with the unwavering strength of this frame creates a perfect design for research applications. This structure can meet extremely high demands, whether in coastal areas where tropical conditions persists, or areas where snow accumulation is a concern.

Offering the definition of versatility when discussing covering options, the Grand Peak is designed to be covered with 8mm twin wall polycarbonate, but can accommodate acylic, corrugated polycarbonate, and sheet metal options as well. This allows us to utilize this structure for both the greenhouse and headhouse in applications that are optimal. This structure is commonly partitioned off or divided into sections to create multiple zones for research purposes, which allows institutions to facilitate multiple research projects in one structure, while maximizing the results with the smallest footprint.

HIGH TUNNELS FOR RESEARCH

At Atlas, we know that research in horticulture or agriculture knows no limits. We understand that not all research needs a topof-the-line, environmentally-controlled greenhouse and because of this, Atlas provides a versatile product line of structures designed to work well in high tunnel/cold frame research settings. Our frames offer strength, durability, and an economical option to conduct research when environmental control isn’t required.

In the next few pages, discover structures designed to incorporate some variation of the curtain systems that we offer to facilitate passive ventilation. While we offer gothic profile structures to incorporate the ridge vent option, we also offer free-standing structures, as well as others, which can be gutter-connected.

We invite you to explore every option Atlas offers to determine the best option for your education research facility.

AQUAPONICS HYDROPONICS

In recent years, many educational institutions have migrated to incorporating other growing systems, such as hydroponics or aquaponics. When choosing a hydroponic system, Atlas Greenhouse offers several additional options with these types of growing systems.

One advantage of a hydroponic system is that it can be utilized for purposes beyond education. For example, when a sizeable greenhouse is selected, fresh food from the greenhouse can be used to provide food for a local school cafeteria, food bank, or even to the general public, which helps offset the cost of operation. When this pathway is taken, the educational applications are immensely amplified and instructors have the option of incorporating additional disciplines into the existing curriculum, which can include agribusiness, integrated pest management, logistics, if selling to other entities, and much more.

13 Greenhouses for College & Research Applications

AQUAPONICS HYDROPONICS

Advantages of an Aquaponics System includes:

• Utilization consisting of 1/6th of the water to grow 8 times more food per acre when compared to traditional agriculture

• An all natural fertilizer source from fish waste

• Zero reliance on mined and manufactured fertilizers

• Efficient, sustainable and highly productive

• Produce grown is free of pesticides and herbicides

• Fish harvested are free of growth hormones and antibiotics

• Allows continuous production of food

• Produces both a protein and vegetable crop

• Integrated system is sustainable and earth-friendly

• Elimination of soil, which eliminates soil-borne diseases

14 ATLAS GREENHOUSE atlasgreenhouse.com

AQUAPONICS HYDROPONICS

Compared with soil-based farming, Hydroponics systems are:

MORE CONSISTENT

• Producing predictable quantities and quality for higher crop yields and profits.

MORE EFFICIENT

• Producing 10x the crops per area.

• Reducing pathogen risks by growing crops without pesticides or manure.

LOCAL

• Reducing transportation costs by growing near or in urban centers.

• 1/6th of the fertilizer used when compared to soil based farms.

• 1/10 of the water of soiled based farms.

EZ ROLL-UP CURTAIN SYSTEM

Our EZ Roll-Up package includes everything needed for natural greenhouse ventilation. In addition, you can choose a manual crank or automatic system. Our heavy duty, 13 mil. coated 10 x 12 weave fabric (not 6 mil. poly) is UV treated and strong enough to withstand harsh conditions.

ECONOMY CURTAIN

Z-LOCK DROP DOWN CURTAIN SYSTEM

Our Z-Lock Drop Down Curtain System drops down for ventilation and is best suited for 4’ to 6’ high side walls. Our exclusive Z-Lock eave flange allows the curtain to seal and “locks” the roof poly securely into place. This package includes everything necessary with the exception of pressure-treated lumber required for the base. (Optional aluminum hat base is available).

Our Economy Curtain System is a more economical way to passively ventilate your high tunnel or coldframe. Growers prefer curtains that roll up from the middle as opposed to rolling up from the bottom; crank rotations are cut by half because our crank rod rolls from the middle. Our crank handle makes this sytem easy to operate. For even smoother operation, the crank package can be upgraded to include a 13:1 gear reduction box. Poly film can also be upgraded to strong 12 mil. curtain fabric. The Economy Curtain can be adapted to straight or curved side walls. System comes complete with crank handle, crank rod, curtain guides and all hardware necessary to install.

RENOVATE REFURBISH

At Atlas, not only do we specialize in manufacturing new cuttingedge greenhouses, but we can also refurbish old greenhouses that may have seen better days. These renovations can range from completely recovering the houses with variations of polycarbonate, replacing extrusions, and providing new equipment, to making the house as good as new!

In addition, Atlas understands that many aged houses may be considered historic, which may mean your only option is to update the greenhouse as opposed to demolishing and installing a new structure.

Regardless of what your challenges might be with renovating or refurbishing a structure, Atlas Greenhouse can provide the ideal solution designed for your specific needs and requirements.

On the next page, we invite you to take a look at a one example of a renovation we’ve completed for satisifed customers.
