WeatherPort® Backyard Greenhouses
The WeatherPort® Backyard Greenhouse
The WeatherPort® Backyard Greenhouse from Alaska Structures® is meticulously engineered to elevate your gardening experience. Unlike greenhouse kits, a WeatherPort® Backyard Greenhouse incorporates a robust fabric membrane stretched over a resilient galvanized steel or lightweight aluminum frame system. It’s designed with portability in mind and can be quickly and easily assembled or disassembled for a single growing season or used year-round as a permanent backyard greenhouse. Various anchoring solutions are provided to ensure that your WeatherPort® Backyard Greenhouse stands up to the elements and provides a safe, controlled environment for your plants, regardless of weather conditions.
Instantly transform any outdoor area into a unique environment for nurturing a variety of plants, vegetables, and flowers. Create a shielded space for small or large horticultural endeavors, community plant exchanges, gardening workshops, or plant propagation and grafting sessions. Other common uses for WeatherPort® Backyard Greenhouses include school greenhouse projects, plant nurseries, farmers’ market plant sales, horticultural therapy spaces, hobby greenhouses, gardening club meeting spots, and even winter garden havens. The WeatherPort® Backyard Greenhouse is available in many sizes to cater to your specific growing needs.

Not Your Average Backyard Greenhouse
WeatherPort® backyard greenhouses are unrivaled in quality and reliability, setting them apart from other store-bought greenhouse kits. Each WeatherPort® greenhouse is carefully engineered to meet the local or International Building Code (IBC) for safety and durability to withstand the specific weather conditions of your area. Unlike other prefabricated greenhouse kits that may take days or weeks to set up, a WeatherPort® backyard greenhouse can be assembled in just a few hours. Moreover, they are designed to remain in place for year-round cultivation or can be taken down quickly at the end of the growing season.
Our greenhouses can be set up on nearly any level surface, from dirt and gravel to asphalt, concrete, or wooden platforms. With a large selection of configurable options, you have the ability to tailor a greenhouse to your unique cultivation needs, including size, layout, shelving, windows, doors, ventilation, climate control, and many other options.
A key feature of WeatherPort® backyard greenhouses is our proprietary greenhouse membranes. Designed to be translucent, they diffuse light uniformly, creating an ideal growing environment for your plants. This starkly contrasts with glass or plexiglass greenhouses which can act like a magnifying glass, potentially damaging sensitive plants.
We provide a variety of standard greenhouse structures, like our highly popular 8’ x 13’ backyard greenhouse, which includes everything needed to start your growing adventure. Feel free to contact by calling 907-344-1565 or clicking the button below to request a quote!
Gable-Style Backyard Greenhouses
When you decide on a WeatherPort® backyard greenhouse, you’re investing in a heavy-duty, long-lasting greenhouse structure and creating the ideal environment for your plants and botanical interests to grow.
WeatherPort® backyard greenhouses use the GB Series, a gable-style fabric structure perfectly suited for backyard cultivation. The straight-wall design optimizes interior space with widths ranging from 6′ to 20′ and extendable to any length. A standard eave height of 5’ ensures ample room for larger potted plants to thrive. If you require a taller eave or peak height, we can configure a greenhouse with a higher side-wall height to fulfill your specific growing needs.
Maximize your growing potential by adding metal shelving to cultivate smaller plants or starts at a convenient height. Our GB Series greenhouse structures also have the option of hanging bars – an ideal feature for hanging flower baskets or attaching growing fixtures like sprinklers, drip systems, fans, and lights. The GB Series can also be equipped with a diverse array of doors and windows.
Popular WeatherPort® Backyard Greenhouse sizes and pricing are as followings:
- 6’ x 4’ Backyard Greenhouse
- 8’ x 13’ Backyard Greenhouse

Create an optimal growing environment by configuring your greenhouse from a variety of windows, including screened windows, to increase visibility and ventilation, allowing fresh air to circulate throughout the greenhouse and aid plant health. WeatherPort® backyard greenhouses can also be equipped with sturdy metal shelving to optimize your growing space. Accommodate more plants or starts at a convenient height and make the most of your available greenhouse space.
