This study concerns a prefabricated plastic structure column that can be used as a greenhouse. The plastic construction, having a frame assembly, is a structure in which a series of a Triangular Pyramid Model (TPM) is arranged between four continuous parallel Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) chords. One of the parallel chords is connected to a TPM by passing through one of its vertex nodes. Thus, each TPM is a connection member between four distinct parallel chords. The main object of this study is to provide a simple, prefabricated, portable a greenhouse structure with plastic column, one which employs a series of model units of novel design that permits even an inexperienced person to the quickly and easily assemble a building. This new greenhouse structure can be displayed in attractive and functional properties that will work by providing excellent opportunities for the quality, health and safety of constructions. As a result, the system was resistant to two years of severe wind speeds and forces. At the end of the third year, wind speeds reaching 77 km/h has not cause any damage to the model, even though the greenhouse cover material was damaged.
