Greenhouse Sizing Guide
Acre to Square Meter Conversion
1 acre ≈ 4,047 m²
⅛ acre ≈ 506 m²
Standard Greenhouse Size
Our typical greenhouse measures 8 m × 30 m (≈ 240 m²)
Recommend Using ⅔ of Land for Buildings
This leaves room for access paths and farm equipment.
On ⅛ acre (≈ 506 m²), ⅔ gives ≈ 337 m² for greenhouses — enough for 1 greenhouse, with ≈ 97 m² for operations.
On 1 acre (≈ 4,047 m²), ⅔ gives ≈ 2,698 m² — enough for 11 greenhouses (realistically 11, since you can’t have partial units).
Note on Layout
These figures are estimates. Final capacity depends on actual land layout and professional assessment.
Why This Matters
Optimizes land use: Get a quick snapshot of how many greenhouses will fit in your space — without speculation.
Supports planning: Knowing available capacity helps you forecast yields, plan layouts, and budget precisely.
Prevents surprises: Early estimation ensures space is allocated systematically — not overcrowded or underused.
