Glass Multi-Span Greenhouse

Specification

Product Overview

Our Multi-Span Glass Greenhouse is designed as a robust and long-lasting solution for professional growers and agricultural projects. Utilizing a clear glass covering and a sturdy metal framework, it creates a protected environment with excellent light transmission. This structure is well-suited for a variety of crops and applications where a stable and permanent growing facility is desired.

Core Structure & Materials

The strength and longevity of the greenhouse are derived from its foundational components.

1. Foundation: A solid concrete foundation or ground anchor system provides stability, securing the structure to the ground and ensuring it can withstand local environmental loads.

2. Primary Steel Structure: The main framework is constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel. This process provides effective corrosion resistance, contributing to the framework's long service life. The design typically follows an efficient Venlo-style roof for good rainwater runoff.

3. Aluminum Alloy Profiles: Aluminum alloy is used for the glazing bars and gutters. These profiles are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed to securely hold the glass panels while managing internal condensation drainage.

4. Glass Covering: The enclosure uses horticultural-grade glass. It offers high light transmittance for plant growth and, compared to plastic films, provides greater clarity and longevity. Options such as diffuse glass can be considered for more uniform light distribution.

Available Configuration Systems (Optional)

The basic structure can be equipped with various systems to enhance the growing environment control.

• Ventilation System: Includes roof vents and/or sidewall vents to regulate temperature and humidity through natural air exchange.

• Shading System: Interior or exterior shade screens can be installed to manage light intensity and reduce heat during periods of strong sunlight.

• Irrigation System: Can be outfitted with drip irrigation or misting systems for efficient water and nutrient delivery.

• Growing Systems: Compatible with various benching, hydroponic, or seedling tray systems to organize the cultivation space.

• Thermal Screen: An internal insulating screen can be added to reduce heat loss during colder nights, improving energy efficiency.

• Automation System: Basic to advanced environmental controllers can be integrated to monitor and automate the operation of other systems (like vents or irrigation) based on set parameters.

Key Features

• High Light Transmission: The glass cladding allows a high percentage of natural sunlight to enter, which is beneficial for photosynthesis.

• Durability & Longevity: The combination of galvanized steel and glass results in a structure with a longer expected lifespan than film-covered alternatives.

• Stable Environment: Provides a well-sealed and protected space, offering good buffer against external weather fluctuations.

• Modular Design: The multi-span design allows for covering a large area efficiently and can often be extended in length if required.

• Low Maintenance: The primary materials require minimal upkeep over the long term.

Typical Applications

This type of greenhouse is versatile and can be used in multiple scenarios:

• Commercial Agriculture: For the production of vegetables, fruits, berries, and cut flowers.

• Nursery & Propagation: Ideal for seedling production and young plant cultivation.

• Botanical Display & Gardening: Suitable for botanical gardens, research displays, and hobbyist gardening requiring a pristine environment.

• Research & Education: Used in agricultural universities and research institutions for plant trials and studies.

• Specialty Cultivation: Can be adapted for cultivating herbs, microgreens, or other high-value crops.
