Our showcase VertiArk commercial greenhouse for Bucksbury & Co in Hertfordshire, demonstrating the potential of VertiOne growing systems in a commercial setting.
Bucksbury & Co needed a commercial greenhouse that could deliver reliable, year-round crop growth, with climate and irrigation controlled precisely and efficiently.
We delivered a VertiArk: a fully customisable, insulated commercial greenhouse engineered for the cultivation of protected crops. Its modular design and advanced thermal retention provide superior efficiency and performance compared to traditional glasshouses, with climate and irrigation controlled remotely through VertiOne.
Galvanised Steel Frame
Built entirely from galvanised steel, in 63mm round beams or 80×60mm IPE beams for high loads and larger spans. The hot-dip galvanised finish resists corrosion and reduces maintenance.
Insulated Roof
A double layer of UV-stabilised film is inflated into a 15–20cm air cushion, cutting heat loss by up to 30%, with inflation motors under VertiOne control.
Side Walls & Ventilation
Sidewalls mounted on a precast concrete curb, with side ventilation that draws fresh air along the canopy for uniform temperature and humidity.
Engineered for Year-Round Performance
From initial site analysis to final commissioning, every VertiArk is built to the crop's specific requirements and in line with Good Agricultural Practice principles. The structure is fully compliant with EN 13031-1, with standard bays spanning 8m and arches and posts every 2m.
As a turnkey provider, we handle the civil works too, from groundworks, drainage and reinforced concrete foundations to electrical supply, water supply and climate systems, so the greenhouse is built on a properly prepared, fully serviced site.

Precast Concrete Curb
A stable base that keeps side profiles off the ground, preventing moisture damage and acting as a built-in bumper against machinery.
Sliding Double Doors
Full-height 3m sliding double doors with a 2.4m wide opening, for safe access for pedestrians, vehicles and machinery.
VertiOne Control
Fertigation, climate and lighting in one dashboard, monitoring temperature, humidity and VPD in real time.
The VertiArk was delivered turnkey, ready for growing, and is backed by our service team with remote monitoring, preventative maintenance and on-site support to maximise uptime.
