Cross Country Greenhouses

Built for Gardeners Who Plan to Grow for Years

A greenhouse is more than a purchase. It becomes part of your garden, your property, and often your daily routine for decades to come.

That’s why Cross Country Greenhouses are built differently.

Manufactured in North America by BC Greenhouse Builders, a company with more than 75 years of greenhouse manufacturing experience, and offered through Charley’s Greenhouse & Garden Supply, Cross Country Greenhouses combine time-tested designs, durable materials, and a level of craftsmanship that is increasingly difficult to find in today’s marketplace.

Whether you’re looking for an affordable greenhouse that can ship quickly or a fully customized structure designed around your property and growing goals, the Cross Country collection offers options built to serve gardeners for the long haul.

A Different Approach to Greenhouse Building

Many greenhouse kits sold today are mass-produced overseas, packaged into boxes, shipped through distribution centers, and sold through large retailers.

Cross Country Greenhouses follow a different path.

For more than 75 years, BC Greenhouse Builders has specialized in building premium residential and commercial greenhouses for gardeners throughout North America. Their focus has never been on producing the highest volume possible. Instead, the goal has been to build greenhouses that perform well, look beautiful, and continue serving their owners season after season.

The result is a collection of greenhouses known for their durability, thoughtful design, and exceptional longevity.

Many are still in use decades after installation, a testament to a philosophy that values lasting quality over planned obsolescence. Backed by a lifetime frame warranty, Cross Country Greenhouses are often the kind of investment that can be enjoyed by one generation and inherited by the next.

From Manufacturer to Gardener

Cross Country Greenhouses are manufactured by BC Greenhouse Builders and have been offered by Charley’s Greenhouse & Garden Supply for decades.

For more than 50 years, Charley’s has helped gardeners choose the right greenhouse, equipment, and growing solutions for their needs. Cross Country Greenhouses have been part of that offering for decades, giving customers access to some of North America’s most respected greenhouse designs.

The relationship between Charley’s and BC Greenhouse Builders goes back many years. Both companies began as family-run Pacific Northwest businesses built around a love of gardening, a commitment to quality craftsmanship, and a belief in supporting the communities they serve. Long before the two companies became part of the same family, they worked closely together and found common ground in the values that still guide them today: quality products, helpful expertise, and a genuine desire to see gardeners succeed.

When Charley’s founder, Charles Yaw, began planning for retirement, BC Greenhouse Builders acquired Charley’s in 2024, ensuring that the company he built could continue serving gardeners while preserving the knowledge, service, and customer-first approach that had defined Charley’s for generations.

Today, customers benefit from the combined experience of two greenhouse companies with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest and a shared commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and helping gardeners create spaces they’ll enjoy for years to come.

Two Ways to Build Your Cross Country Growing Space

Every Cross Country greenhouse begins with the same philosophy: durable aluminum construction, thoughtful design, and long-term performance.

The difference comes down to how much customization you want.

Ready to Ship Greenhouses

Ready to Ship Cross Country models are based on some of our most popular greenhouse configurations.

By standardizing sizes, colors, and features, these greenhouses can be manufactured in advance, packaged as complete kits, and delivered more quickly than a custom greenhouse. This approach also helps keep costs lower while maintaining the quality and craftsmanship that define the Cross Country name.

Benefits include:

  • Lower starting investment
  • Faster delivery timelines
  • Proven greenhouse designs
  • Simplified purchasing process
  • Popular sizes and configurations ready to go

Made to Order Greenhouses

If your project calls for something more personalized, or if you have a specific space, aesthetic, or growing goal in mind, a Made to Order Cross Country greenhouse gives you the flexibility to create a structure tailored to your needs.

Cross Country’s core greenhouse designs include the Traditional, Cottage, Cape Cod, and Pacific styles, each offering a distinct roofline and appearance. From there, nearly every aspect of the greenhouse can be customized, including dimensions, glazing, colors, doors, ventilation systems, decorative features, and more.

Need something truly unique? Because each greenhouse is manufactured individually, custom rooflines and one-of-a-kind designs are also possible.

Whether you’re planning a freestanding greenhouse, an attached greenhouse, or a fully custom project, the result is a greenhouse built specifically for you.

Crafted for the
Way You Grow

The best greenhouse is the one that fits the way you garden.

For some, that’s a Ready to Ship kit that makes it easy to start growing sooner. For others, it’s a custom greenhouse designed around a specific space, collection of plants, or long-term vision for their property.

No matter which path you choose, every Cross Country greenhouse is built with the same commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and longevity.

These are greenhouses designed to be used, enjoyed, and relied upon season after season. Backed by a lifetime frame warranty, they’re built for the long haul and often become a lasting part of the homes and gardens they serve.

And when you choose a Cross Country greenhouse through Charley’s, you’re backed by a team that has spent more than 50 years helping gardeners plan, build, equip, and enjoy their growing spaces. From your first questions to selecting accessories years down the road, we’re here to help you get the most from your greenhouse.
