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.
