Precision Light Control. Compact Footprint.

The Sun & Steel 30ft Light Deprivation Greenhouse is a purpose-built structure for growers who need full photoperiod control in a tight footprint — spanning 30 feet wide and rising to a 16-foot peak with full 8-foot standing clearance across the entire interior. Both models include a full manual blackout cover system, light-tight end wall panels, roll-up ventilation sides that seal completely for dep cycles, a single 8’6″ sliding vehicle door, insect mesh ventilation, and UV-stabilized poly film on a galvanized steel frame — 6-mil on the Standard, 8-mil on the Heavy.

The Standard Model features 7 arches at 5 ft on centre — straightforward to operate, easy to set up, and built for growers running consistent light dep cycles without extreme snow loads. The Heavy Model steps up to 9 arches at 3.75 ft on centre, 2.5 mm arch walls, a three-tier W-support truss on every arch, and heavier pipe diameters throughout — the same steel spec as the heavy commercial tunnels, in the most compact light dep footprint we offer.

Standard and Heavy frames in adjustable lengths and bay spacings. Stamped engineering, exact pipe and gauge schedules ship with the engineered order — not the public configurator.
