Commercial Greenhouse Design

Assume a greenhouse layout that efficiently uses the land space available. Begin with a small, but complete, freestanding greenhouse unit, which readily fit within a plan for future additions to this initial unit, or with modular blocks of separate, larger greenhouses. Consider the location and size of a head housework area, storage space and office space. Select a greenhouse design with structural integrity sufficient for the weather conditions (winds, snow) of the site. The greenhouse structure must not only be of sufficient overall size, but also be proportioned to fit the modular size (row spacing or bench width) of the crop production system, such that use of interior space is maximized.The land should be well drained and level, with access to roads for transport of materials and products. Utilities such as fuel, electrical power and telephone should be readily available. Sufficient quantity of good quality water is a necessity. Consider pH, hardness, salinity, and dissolved minerals when determining water quality. Have a lab test completed
