FAQ
How long is the service life of a greenhouse?
The material of the greenhouse skeleton is hot-dip galvanized steel, and its service life can be used for decades without external damage. And for covering material. 1. Polyethylene film. Depending on the use environment, its service life is usually 3 to 5 years. When it has a large area of damage, then we need to replace the polyethylene film. 2. Polycarbonate board. Polycarbonate is very strong, daily use is difficult to damage, but its light transmittance will decline with time, usually about 8 to 10 years, its light transmittance will drop to 80%. So we can replace it as needed. 3. Glass. The light transmittance of the glass hardly changes. However, once it is impacted by external forces (wind sand, stone impact, accidental collision, etc.), it will break.
How much does a modern agricultural greenhouse cost?
For any greenhouse, the larger the area, the lower the cost per square meter. If it is an arch polyethylene film greenhouse, then its cost will be $8 to $15/square meter. For the Venlo type (glass or polycarbonate cover), the cost per square meter will be $20 to $40 / square meter. For simple tunnel greenhouses, the cost is usually $5 to $10/square meter
What material is the greenhouse made of?
Our greenhouse skeleton material is hot-dip galvanized steel. There are usually three types of covering materials: polyethylene film, polycarbonate sheet, glass. These three covering materials often correspond to different design styles to respond to the needs of various countries and regions. Polyethylene film greenhouses are usually simple in design and low in cost. It is one of the most widely used types in the world. Polycarbonate has good durability and thermal insulation properties. The light transmittance of glass is extremely high, so the glass greenhouse is a good choice for customers who value the appearance and have a sufficient budget.
What are the advantages of greenhouses over traditional open-air planting
1.Environmental control : greenhouse can accurately control the internal temperature, humidity and light and other environmental conditions, to provide the most suitable growth environment for crops, so as to improve the growth rate and yield of crops. By controlling these environmental factors, greenhouses can significantly improve crop yield and quality . 2.Extend the growing season : greenhouses provide a sustainable and stable environment for crops by insulating them from the influence of external climate, thus extending the growing season of crops. This makes it possible to grow different kinds of crops in different seasons, meeting market demand and increasing farmers' income 3.Reduce the impact of natural disasters : greenhouse can effectively protect crops from wind, rain, snow, ice, frost, freezing and other natural disasters, reduce the risk and loss of agricultural production . 4.Resource conservation : The greenhouse adopts water-saving irrigation technology such as drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation to precisely control the amount of water and irrigation time and reduce the waste of water resources. At the same time, through precise fertilization and intelligent management, to achieve the optimal utilization of fertilizer, reduce the use of fertilizer . 5.Improve economic benefits : greenhouse planting can achieve efficient, high-yield and high-quality agricultural production. Through precise control of the growing environment, the quality and yield of crops can be significantly improved, thereby obtaining higher economic benefits . 6.Romote agricultural modernization : The application of greenhouse is an important part of agricultural modernization. It integrates the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and other frontier technologies to realize the intelligent, automated and precise agricultural production and promote the process of agricultural modernization
