CFGET Greenhouse Structure
Greenhouse structures evolved from arch and peaked roofs to meet crop and climate needs, improving efficiency and control.
🌱 Gothic Arch /North slope Greenhouse
The Gothic Arch Greenhouse is a high-arched structure inspired by Gothic architecture’s pointed arch roof design. Its unique curved shape enhances wind and snow resistance, optimizes air circulation, and improves light utilization efficiency. Compared to traditional round arch greenhouses, the steeper roof slope of the Gothic Arch Greenhouse prevents snow and rain accumulation, making it ideal for regions with heavy snowfall, high humidity, or strong winds.
Structural Advantages
✅ High-arched Structure for Superior Snow Load Resistance
✅ Enhanced Airflow and Reduced Humidity Accumulation
✅ Compatible with Various Covering Materials
✅ Ideal for Small-scale Precision Farming

The Gothic Arch Greenhouse is less common in China but widely used in Europe, the United States, and other regions. Essentially, it is an extension of the single-span greenhouse, but its distinct high-arched structure gives it the name “Gothic Arch Greenhouse.”
This greenhouse is particularly suitable for regions with heavy snowfall in winter. Its steep roof slope effectively prevents snow and rain accumulation, while also enhancing wind and snow load resistance. The tall interior clearance improves air circulation and allows for vertical farming. Although classified as a single-span greenhouse, its structure can be adapted with various covering materials such as PE/PO plastic film, polycarbonate panels (PC), and insulated panels, making it suitable for different climate conditions.
The Gothic Arch Greenhouse is especially ideal for light-sensitive crops such as medicinal cannabis and mushrooms. It is also well-suited for home gardening and small-scale precision farming. With its strong load-bearing capacity and adjustable covering system, this greenhouse offers significant advantages in precision agriculture, efficient greenhouse management, and extreme climate farming.

✅ 10 Simple FAQ for Gothic Arch North Slope Greenhouses
A Gothic Arch North Slope greenhouse uses a pointed arch roof and a steep slope. It is designed to let snow slide off and allow more light inside.
Because the steep arch roof has no flat spots, snow and water slide off easily. It also gives tall interior space and good ventilation.
Frame: high-strength galvanized steel or tubing. Roof/cover: poly film or rigid panels. The arch spacing and purlins are designed for strength.
The arch roof sheds snow and water, prevents flat spots where water pools, improves air volume and circulation, and helps with ventilation.
Yes. With the proper design it handles heavy snow loads, strong wind, rainy or cold climates, while also suitable for warmer regions thanks to good ventilation.
Vegetables, fruits, seedlings and large plants all work well because the high roof gives more headroom and better light.
It depends on size, materials and systems. Generally it may take several weeks to a few months from design to installation.
• Know your land size and topography.
• Check local climate: snow load, wind speed, sun hours.
• Decide on crop type and production scale.
• Set budget and system needs: arch height, span, covering material.
The cost is higher than simple hoop houses due to stronger frame and arch design. But ROI is strong because you get better structural strength, longer lifespan, fewer weather losses, and more usable space.
The structure can last many years if maintained well. Check for bolts, purlins, covering material wear and ensure gutters, drainage etc. Regular inspection helps keep performance high.
