The device and types of industrial greenhouses

Types of industrial greenhouses

Industrial greenhouses are divided into two large groups: seasonal and year-round. Seasonal structures are more popular, since growing crops all year round requires a large amount of financial investment for the arrangement of heating systems, the procurement of fertilizers, and workers who will keep order.

The seasonal greenhouse project involves the cultivation of garden and horticultural crops from the beginning of March to the end of November. They are good for both growing seedlings and going through the full cycle of plant formation.

Year-round greenhouses, as a business project, imply the construction of additional premises for equipment. The profitability of such buildings is quite high, since there is no downtime in growing crops in the winter season, but it requires more return and investment.

Greenhouses are also distinguished by the type of frame, coating, technical characteristics, etc.

Glass, as a coating, is rarely used and only for seasonal structures, since this material requires increased strength from the frame, as well as careful care due to its fragility.

Polycarbonate is much more popular. It is quite easy to install it yourself, even on an industrial scale. Thermal insulation, strength, light transmission - at a height. Being more resistant to temperature extremes, polycarbonate is a profitable purchase. Moreover, it is convenient to transport - sheets are rolled into rolls without subsequent deformation.

On technical grounds, vegetable, flower, combined and premises intended for selective breeding are distinguished. Depending on the chosen direction, different equipment is required, construction varies slightly.

The method of growing crops in industrial greenhouse complexes also differs. The beds can be placed on racks or directly in the ground.

By the type of frame, wood (not the most reliable choice), polymer and metal are distinguished.

By the type of organization of the internal space, hangars are distinguished, divided into blocks, and straight lines with an arched roof.

Which greenhouse to choose

Having figured out what kind of greenhouses and greenhouses are, you can start choosing structures suitable for the project. If it means building with your own hands, then you need to think twice about everything. As a test step, it is recommended to start with a seasonal greenhouse, which can then be expanded to a year-round greenhouse.

When organizing industrial greenhouses, keep in mind that most of the knowledge gained from the experience of gardening plants will not be entirely relevant. With a change in the working area, the rules of work also change. That is why it is important to decide which project suits you best before purchasing equipment and starting construction with your own hands.

We plan construction

The project of a greenhouse complex for industrial purposes includes the choice of a place for construction, taking into account the climatic conditions of the region, the choice of crops, the proximity of water bodies, etc.

Ideal conditions for construction: mild winters, sufficient daylight hours, relatively stable temperature, moderate relief of the site.

Immediately select a place with fertile soil in order to invest less in fertilizers or the delivery of new soil. Taking into account climatic features, select the type of foundation, frame and coating. The equipment required for the project is purchased separately and last, in order to take into account all the nuances of the construction.

Greenhouse construction

After the project is agreed and approved, you can proceed directly to the construction. Here you cannot do without a team of workers, since the volume of work is extensive and special knowledge is required.

Enlist the support of a specialist who understands the construction of industrial facilities to avoid mistakes when laying a foundation or erecting a frame.

Start by purchasing the material and delivering it to the construction site. Track every stage of construction so that workers do not unknowingly break building rules.

Everything starts with digging a foundation pit and laying the foundation. This is followed by the supporting frame, laying pipes and laying drainage systems. Be especially careful when the stage of covering the frame with polycarbonate or other selected material begins. By this time, all equipment should already be installed in the proper places.

After completing all the preparatory work, you can start settling in the new complex.
