Greenhouses vary primarily by shape or construction technique. Below is a list of various structures, along with pros and cons of each.
Conventional/Post-and-Rafter:One of the most common greenhouse structures due to its simple construction, this design is also one of the strongest. The rafter support strengthens the roof, but this also makes it top-heavy. That means the frame must be footed, which increases overall cost.
Pro:简单的设计允许pace and air circulation, particularly along side walls, to be maximized.
Con:More materials required than other designs.
A-Frame:Another typical greenhouse structure, the A-Frame offers both simplicity in design and in materials. Combining the roof and the sidewalls to make a single, triangular structure eliminates the extra materials of the post-and-rafter design.
Pro:使用的材料较少意味着较低的成本。最适合种植单排或仅几株植物。
Con:Space can be an issue. Air circulation can be challenging in the corners.
Gothic Arch:哥特式拱形温室的标志性产品,这种风格的墙壁弯曲在框beplay218架上,以制成尖顶的屋顶。该技术消除了对结构桁架的需求,并且需要更少的建筑材料。
Pro:设计的形状允许轻松的水和降雪。也可以节省热量。
Con:较低的侧壁高度可能会影响存储空间和空间。
Hoop House:Also known as a Quonset design, this structure is a staple for many commercial growing operations. Built from curved or arched rafters, the hoop houses employ aluminum pipes or PVC pipes to create its form.
Pro:Inexpensive relative to other designs. The shape allows for easy rain and snow runoff.
Con:Design is not as inherently sturdy as other frames.
Lean-To:Usually found in home or hobby gardens, this design is attached to an existing structure, such as the back or sometimes side of a home. Because of its location, it offers easy access to available water, electricity and heat.
Pro:Accessible to power, easy to heat and resistant to wind.
Con:有限的内部空间使它们成为商业操作中很少使用的选项。
Shade House:对于商业种植者而言,这种设计仅是一种露天结构,具有有时可伸缩的织物屋顶。这允许最大程度地通风,同时保护嫩植物免受直射阳光的影响。
Pro:Not only is this an economical option, but also it helps conserve water- 花了时间浇水。
Con:提供有限的保护害虫。
