How to build a cost-effective greenhouse?

If you want to build a cost-effective greenhouse, you need to consider the following aspects. Let’s take a look with the editor of the greenhouse manufacturer!

1. Site selection: The issue of site selection is a key task. Building it randomly in a certain place will cause difficulties in later planting management. Comprehensively consider factors such as water sources, light, transportation, etc., and choose urban areas with convenient water, sufficient work, and close to roads to facilitate the logistics and sales of crops.

2. Material selection: There are many types of greenhouses, and different types of greenhouses use different materials. Reasonable material selection should be made based on the actual construction conditions of the smart greenhouse to avoid problems. The "outer wall" of the greenhouse, that is, the greenhouse covering material, can be made of film, glass, etc. The film has a unique cost-effectiveness in terms of practicality. The special plastic film used for facility agricultural production and construction has good light transmittance and The thermal insulation effect plays a good role in crop growth. Transparent and drip-free films should be selected, which can effectively prevent the light transmittance of the greenhouse from deteriorating. Commonly used shed films include polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shed film, polyethylene (PE) shed film, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer shed film, and they have different effects.

3. Steel frame design: The steel frame is the main structure of the greenhouse. The frame must be welded and processed using hot-dip galvanized steel. Key points to note when selecting materials include: the steel frame surface is smooth, the thermal conductivity is low, and the shed membrane is not damaged; easy installation: light and hard, easy to disassemble, install and transport; stronger waterproof performance, not afraid of wind and sun; non-toxic, harmless, No radiation; high strength, anti-aging; light weight, good seismic resistance, especially suitable for use in areas prone to earthquakes and frequent natural disasters; the length, arc, height, span, and thickness of the greenhouse frame can be adjusted at will; good application effect, good lighting The surface can be designed into an arc shape, and the angle of the light-transmitting surface is increased, resulting in good light transmission and high temperature inside the shed.

4. Management system application: According to the purpose of the greenhouse, whether it is engaged in vegetable production, experimental scientific research, flower seedlings, or sightseeing, as well as the scale, layout, and growth characteristics of the crops, the hardware equipment of the intelligent greenhouse management system can be selected. Such as air temperature and humidity, soil temperature and humidity, CO2, illumination and other sensors. At the same time, the caliber, quantity and type of intelligent valves are determined based on the pipeline layout of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation systems. They are connected to the management cloud platform and set up greenhouse management strategies. It is to tell the cloud platform the experience and operation of manual management of greenhouses. For example, when the air temperature and humidity sensor detects how high the temperature is, the cooling and ventilation equipment is turned on, and it is automatically turned off when the temperature drops to a suitable temperature.
