Glass greenhouse is a greenhouse style with glass as the covering material. It has the advantages of firm structure, strong wind and snow resistance, long service life and so on. However, due to its huge space, it leads to high energy consumption for overwintering production in the north, which is the biggest pain point for growers in the north, So what can be done to reduce the energy consumption of glass greenhouse?

What is a shed in a shed

Shed in shed means a toy similar to the Russian dolls we have played. Using the high space characteristics of our glass greenhouse, a set of small arch shed is installed at the lower part of the truss beam of the greenhouse without affecting the internal planting space. The small arch shed uses the film as the covering material, which can effectively isolate the heat of the crop part from the outside of the greenhouse. At the same time, the heating space of the glass greenhouse is reduced by half, and the heating energy consumption is reduced.

Installation method of small arch shed in glass greenhouse

1. The greenhouse installation materials are divided into 32 * 2.0 round pipes for arch rods, 25 * 1.5 round pipes for one trip of string rods at the top, 25 * 1.5 round pipes for one trip of film rolling rods on the left and right sides, and a connector is used where it is connected with the column. The column can use a small gutter in the longitudinal direction, or it can be fixed with film clamping grooves on both sides without direct connection.

2. The installation position of the male pole can be in the direction of our 12m span or our 8m span.

3. The position of buffer film can be reserved on the top and two skirts of the arch rod. The film rolling device can roll up the films on both sides during the day without affecting the normal daylighting inside the glass greenhouse, and the film rolling can be put down for thermal insulation at night.

Other thermal insulation measures for glass greenhouse

As introduced in previous articles, there is also a top insulation quilt, which works like a sunshade net. The insulation quilt is expanded at night. The wall insulation quilt is installed around the greenhouse, which can be rolled up during the day and put down at night.
