Description

Commercial Greenhouse

The Flat Roof greenhouse is a lightweight fixed-shade structure, perfect for outdoor retail areas, research institutions, public gardens, or crops needing a bit of protection from the elements.

These greenhouses allow for plenty of natural light and ventilation. They shield plants from wind and sun. Plus, the shading helps with moisture retention in the soil, preventing plants from drying out too quickly.

Retailers looking to keep their shoppers comfortable will find Flat Roof greenhouses make an ideal display space.

Choosing the Right Shade System for Your Flat Roof Greenhouse
The shade system you choose for your Flat Roof greenhouse depends on your plant needs and climate.

Shade cloths come in different materials, densities, and colors, each offering unique benefits and levels of protection for your plants.

• Shade percentage: The percentage listed on your shade cloth indicates the degree of shading it provides or how much sunlight it will keep from entering the greenhouse. The higher the percentage, the more light it blocks.
• Color options: You can use colored shade clothes at certain stages in the plant lifecycle to achieve desired growth responses because they filter different wavelengths of light. Red shade cloth, for example, comes in handy at the flowering stage to promote early blooming.
• Material type: Lightweight knitted shade cloths have interlocking loops that make them stretchy and flexible. Woven shade cloths have a tight weave that results in more rigidity and sturdy protection. The differences in their structure determine their function and use.Diffused fabrics provide even light distribution across the crop by scattering sunlight as it enters the greenhouse. Aluminum-backed screens or those with aluminum strips reflect solar heat rather than capture it to reduce temperatures.

How much shading you need depends on your plant requirements and local climate.
