1 20 FT WIDE Omni 20 Foot Wide Freestanding Greenhouse Structures Model FS Comerical Reinforced 20 foot wide freestanding houses. STRONG... RIGID... EASY TO ASSEMBLE Omni Commercial Series FS 20 foot wide Freestanding Greenhouse Structures. If you are looking for a high quality, high strength freestanding workhorse look no further. Omni introduced their fully reinforced greenhouse structure designs back in the early 1990 s, so they are not new to the market. Over the last 18 year period more and more growers are discovering the excellent features that our structures have to offer. That may explain why the bulk of our clients are repeat and expansion growers. Our freestanding structures are well designed, thought out and industry proven. It only takes major wind and snow fall events to tell us that, as clients phone in with glowing reports and simple disbelief their Omni structure is still standing were others have failed. We just simply call this our sleep well policy. When the wind blows and it snows don t worry. Our design is very, very, did we say very easy to assemble with minimum time, tools and labor. We simply don t settle for all though crazy brackets, plates, struts and cross ties, that really only end up being pin joints. We rely on our proven reinforced arch and upright welded truss design. All slip fit joints. They assemble with ease and when locked together with the supplied hardware they form an incredible stiff and strong structural system. All components are manufactured with high strength galvalum and high strength galvanized steel. Reinforced Freestanding Greenhouse available in 20, 24, 27, 30, 36 and 40 foot widths. 40 ft in photo above. [1]

That includes the installation of the roof purlins. All with nothing more than a step ladder and basic hand tools. Roof Purlins We provide a generous amount of roof purlin steel. On the 20 foot wide with standard uprights we provide four (4), not two but four rows of roofing purlins in addition to our polysaver ridge purlin system.

4 Easy To Assemble... You Bet This page is about a small project. Comprised of two small 30 foot wide X 144 foot long Omni Commercial Series FS structures. were finished by 2:00 PM. All structural elements were now up. Just to provide you a bit more information on this project. It is located far up in Northern And two weeks prior to this the same crew (two) spent three days on site installing the foundation system. 96 piles, 8 round X 4 feet deep, concrete filled, ground sleeves cast into place and entrance grade beams and pads for Thursday Nov. 6, 2008, crew ( crew --- the crew of two ) arrived on site to meet the trucker. The truck arrived 12:30 PM.11,300 lbs. of steel to off load, had to hand unload. Finished by 1:30 PM. Broke for lunch and arrived back on site at 2:30. By 4:30 PM the crew had all of the arches up, plus four rows of the six rows of roof purlins installed and temporary wind bracing installed for overnight. Friday Nov. 7, crew ( crew --- the crew of two ) arrived on site 9:00 AM. By noon, 12:00 PM, one the second house, all arches up, four rows of the six purlin steel up and temporary wind bracing but up. Weather really closed in, sleet and snow, around lunch time ( so they decided to call it a day. ) Saturday Nov 8, 2008, the crew (two) arrived on site at 9:00 AM. By 2:00, they had plumbed up the structure, installed the wind bracing, the last 2 rows of purlin steel and the ridge purlin system. Decided to call it a day. SUnday Nov. 9, 2008, the crew framed in the gable ends with framing steel and provide rough openings for overhead doors and man doors. Four ends total. They started at 9:00 and Alberta. Our crew left Calgary, Thursday Nov. 6 Agroponic Industries Ltd. Project Construction Notes: agropon@agroponic.com web: at 5:00 AM in the morning. A 5 1/2 hour trip up with vehicle. At this time of the year the days are short in North Alberta. It gets quite dark even by 4:00 PM at this time of the year. And we won t mention how cold and windy it gets. Anyhow, to install the above structure, folks, here is what they took with, three plumb bobs, roll of bailer twine, 4 foot and 8 foot level, two cordless drills, two cordless impact guns, one cordless sawzall, one eight foot step ladder, one 12 foot step ladder and one small hand tool kit. the overhead doors and man doors placed. Those Arches. Simply incredible just waiting to be load up with plants and equipment. Structure is now ready for Receive the Cladding. Double poly on roofs, insulated metal wall on ends, with insulated man and overheads. [4]

5 Strong - You Bet Need to hang / suspend some equipment. It s easy, just suspend it. The photo below is a 375 gas fired unit heater, simply suspended at 1/4 point off an arch on a 30 foot wide free standing house. Try this with those single cord greenhouse style structures. You can but they want you to add a whole bunch of framing steel to distribute the load, or build fancy frames and stands. Folks that costs a lot of time and money. And in the long run you still have a flimsy wet noodle structure. The hidden advantage of a reinforced structure is decreased installation costs. That s were the costs are. Plus you end up with a structure that provides you with sleep well at night features. Let the wind blow, let the snow fall, just relax and get a good nights sleep with our houses. Ease of Installation Nothing can be easier suspending equipment from our structures. They will handle it. In fact on the wide bay 40 foot wide structures we quite often will hang two heaters like the one in the photo on the right. Two -315 lb. heaters mounted at 1/4 points off the same arch. Let the truth be known. The secret to our exceptional strength is just not in our arches. Take a close look at the abundance of purlin steel that we provide that tie all the arch sets together so that they are all locked together. It is virtually impossible to rack our arches. A problem which we must point out that afflicts most other single cord wet noodle structures. As an example on most 20 foot wide Freestanding structures most companies only provide two rows and these are commonly just clamped on. ( Clamped connections are not really structural sound ). On our 20 foot house we provide four rows and we use bolted connections for positive structural connection points. Heck we have seen 30 foot wide houses from other manufacturer offerings that only include, guess what, 2 rows of purlin steel, well we provide 6 ( six ) on our 30 foot houses. Why do we take the extra step to offer incredibly strong rigid structures. Well folks... there simply is nothing more satisfying in life answering phones and after a major wind events ( hurricanes ) or major snow fall events from our clients who are glowing with pride and glee about our houses that we provided to them. Then there are are the calls from the wet noodle owners left in shambles and disbelief that their structures didn t make it. Folks... typically people always tell us the reason they bought a wet noodle was that it was less costly. But when you consider the labor to but them up ( they actually cost you more ). Then consider all the extra crap required to install your equipment ( that really really does cost more ). Then consider the fact you cannot hang much crop or other over head loads and then the extra cost to be able to do so. If you take the time to include these costs and shortcomings in the total project costs, you are behind the eight ball. THAT WET NOODLE STRUCTURE PROJECT will and does cost more and even at that you still have a wet noodle on your hands. And then you still have the poly issue ( More on this latter) For over 22 year years now we have been both suppling and installing greenhouse structures and equipment. We will confess we are spoilt on our projects that are handled as complete turnkey projects. They just go together too easily and we take the time to include everything. Over the years are asked many times to provide construction services on other manufacturer projects. They are an eye opener and a money maker for us. [5]
