When it comes to plastic greenhouse structures, the dome shape is the most commonly used form. However, there are various structural forms that make up this building shape, each with its own unique benefits and considerations.
One of the key characteristics of the dome structure is its simplicity and clear stress distribution. While it uses a large amount of materials, it is widely utilized in areas with minimal wind loads. However, its use of horizontal tie rods can limit the height and internal space of the greenhouse. To address this limitation, an improved roof beam structure has been developed.
The improved roof beam structure not only reduces the horizontal thrust of the arch rods on the columns, but also provides convenience for the installation of sunshade curtains, circulation fans, and hanging crops. This form of greenhouse structure offers a practical solution to the challenges posed by the traditional dome shape.
Another form is the Venlo-type glass greenhouse structure, which takes into account the role of horizontal tie rods and evolves into a horizontal truss. This evolution not only simplifies the upper arch, making installation more convenient and faster, but also facilitates the installation and hanging of indoor equipment. Additionally, the ability to install two or three small roofs on the horizontal frame ensures more uniform indoor lighting.
The various forms of plastic greenhouse structures offer unique advantages and considerations, allowing for flexibility in design and functionality. As technology and innovation continue to advance, the possibilities for greenhouse structures are endless.
