Open roof greenhouses provide a natural environment for plant growth when the outdoor weather would work and an artificial environment when it is too hot or frosty. Starting the roof over the vegetation increases light intensity which can help control the growth habit, flowering and crop timing. It also reduces electrical power costs as expensive enthusiast cooling is not needed.
Several methods are used to open the roof. Some producers make a roof that opens by rolling up the solitary or double level of flexible plastic glazing that runs the length of the greenhouse bay. A small gear motor rotates a shaft that winds the plastic on to it such as a window shade. A light, second framework over the structure secures the plastic material from bellowing out during windy climate. Starting and closing the roof can be either manual or automatic. Each part of the roof could be controlled independently for versatility in cooling.
Folding roof greenhouses work well in snowy climates as they can be tightly shut during winter. Most designs use regular vent hardware. Some have panels that hinge at the gutter and open upward. Opening is almost 100%. Others possess panels that are hinged at the ridge and one gutter and slide sideways on teflon bearings. Opening is about 85%. Most designs use rubber gasketing to seal the joints. Glazing could be glass, polycarbonate or film plastic. Some manufacturers give a movable gutter to gather rainwater when the roof can be partially open up. Wind sensors ought to be set up to close the roof in stormy weather. Movable shade is frequently installed with the open roof design. It reduces the heat load by reflecting the suns rays back out. The color curtain ought to be of a porous style to allow heat to flee. In northern climates an energy blanket may 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. According to the cropping program, bracing of the framework can be external cables attached to deadmen, inner compression braces or trusses with cable X bracing. Flat roof styles are used where there is small rain or snow. A-roof designs shed the rainfall and snow to an internal 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 shifting the industry leading of the curtain. One equipment motor will manage up to 50,000 sq ft of roof Heating system is more challenging than in a conventional greenhouse because of the single layer plastic and greater infiltration through gaps and cracks in the seals.
