Open roof greenhouses provide a natural environment for plant growth when the outdoor climate would work and an artificial environment when it is too hot or cold. Opening the roof over the vegetation increases light intensity that may help to control the development habit, flowering and crop timing. It also reduces electricity costs as expensive enthusiast cooling isn’t needed.
Several methods are used to open up the roof. Some producers make a roof that opens by rolling up the solitary or double level of flexible plastic-type material glazing that operates the space of the greenhouse bay. A small gear motor rotates a shaft that winds the plastic-type on to it like a window shade. A light, second framework over the framework secures the plastic from bellowing out during windy climate. Opening and closing the roof can be either manual or automatic. Each aspect of the roof could be managed independently for flexibility in cooling.
Folding roof greenhouses work very well in snowy climates because they can be tightly closed during winter. Most designs use standard vent hardware. Some have panels that hinge at the gutter and open upward. Opening is almost 100%. Others have panels that are hinged at the ridge and one gutter and slide sideways on teflon bearings. Opening is approximately 85%. Most designs use rubber gasketing to seal the joints. Glazing can be glass, polycarbonate or film plastic-type. Some manufacturers provide a movable gutter to gather rainwater when the roof is usually partially open up. Wind sensors should be installed to close the roof in stormy weather. Movable shade is frequently installed with the open up roof design. It decreases heat load by reflecting the suns rays back again out. The color curtain ought to be of a porous style to allow heat to flee. In northern climates an energy blanket can also be installed to reduce heat loss through the winter.
These structures contain a steel frame, versatile glazing and cable support. Woven UV stabilized polyethylene film produces a watertight glazing. Depending on the cropping program, bracing of the structure can be external cables mounted on deadmen, inner compression braces or trusses with cable X bracing. Flat roof designs are utilized where there is small rain or snow. A-roof designs shed the rainfall and snow to an interior gutter system. Styles that may carry up to 35 lb/sq ft snow load and 100 mph wind loads can be found. The roof opens in sections by moving the leading edge of the curtain. One equipment motor will manage up to 50,000 sq ft of roof Heating system is more challenging than in a typical greenhouse due to the Gearbox For Greenhouse single layer plastic-type and better infiltration through gaps and cracks in the seals.
