This invention provides a novel inflatable building that is particularly adapted for use as a greenhouse and the like. Basically, the novel building provided by the present invention comprises: support frame means including a plurality of spaced-apart upright first frame members having their lower ends anchored to base means and having their upper ends interconnected to a grid formed of plural spaced-apart second frame members; first and second manifold means mounted adjacent to the periphery of the support frame means and each having an inlet and plural outlets, with their inlets being respectively fluid-connected to a source of pressurized fluid through separate first and second control valve means and with the plural outlets of the first manifold means being offset from the plural outlets of the second manifold means; and covering means for covering the support frame means including two groups of plural inflatable hollow tubular members which extend across the frame means generally parallel to one another, with all members of one of the groups being substantially opaque and fluid-connected to the outlets of the first manifold means and all members of the other one of the groups being substantially translucent and fluid-connected to the outlets of the second manifold means and with one member of each of the groups being located contiguous to one member of the other of the groups such that the amount of light that can be transmitted through said covering means can be selectively varied through operation of the valve means.
