Greenhouse Structures and Systems
ERT 352
![Page 2: Greenhouse Structures and Systems ERT 352. A greenhouse is an area designed to grow plants. It is a controlled environment which allow optimum growth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e705503460f94b6e434/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
• A greenhouse is an area designed to grow plants.
• It is a controlled environment which allow optimum growth.
• When several of these buildings are joined together they are often referred to as a greenhouse range.
• A greenhouse at home is usually attached to the house or the garage.
What is a greenhouse?
![Page 3: Greenhouse Structures and Systems ERT 352. A greenhouse is an area designed to grow plants. It is a controlled environment which allow optimum growth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e705503460f94b6e434/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Location
• There are several factors to be considered in establishing a greenhouse range.
• A. Room for expansion– 1. Land larger then immediate needs should be
acquired.– 2.Area should be added to this figure to
accommodate service buildings, storage, and access drivers.
![Page 4: Greenhouse Structures and Systems ERT 352. A greenhouse is an area designed to grow plants. It is a controlled environment which allow optimum growth.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e705503460f94b6e434/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• B. Topography– 1. The building site should be as level as
possible to reduce the cost of grading.– 2. The site should be also well drained. Due to
the vast amount of water in the green house it is always advisable to provide a drainage system. Try to select a site with deep, well drained loam, or sandy loam soil.

– 3. You should select a site with a natural wind break such as a tree line or a hill.
• C. Land use Prediction– 1. Local zoning and tax laws are subject to
change brought on by development pressures. Such changes have brought about the termination of many greenhouse business.

• D. Climate– 1. The greenhouse site should be selected with
specific crops in mind.
• E. Accessibility– 1. A site should be selected which has easily
accessible shipping routes.– 2. Select a site that isn’t long distance.– 3. Site location is often the deciding factor in the
type of fuel used.
