UV Resistant, Temperature-Regulated PC Greenhouse With Large Ventilation Areas - Perfect For High Value Plants

Introduction of polycarbonate panel greenhouse

The polycarbonate panel(PC panel, PC sheet) greenhouse is a kind of greenhouse with polycarbonate (PC) panels as the main covering material. Polycarbonate panels are engineering plastics with excellent comprehensive properties, having many advantages such as good light transmittance and impact resistance, and are widely used in the field of greenhouse construction.

Features

Frame Structure:

The frames of PC panel greenhouses are generally made of hot-dip galvanized light steel or aluminum alloy. The hot-dip galvanized light steel frames are sturdy and durable, with good load-bearing capacity, capable of supporting the weight of the PC panels and the internal facilities of the greenhouse. Aluminum alloy frames, on the other hand, are lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and corrosion-resistant, which are convenient for installation and disassembly and have a relatively long service life.

The design of the frames usually takes into account the local climate conditions and the functions of the greenhouse. For example, in regions with heavy snow and strong winds, the spacing between the frames will be appropriately reduced to enhance the overall wind and snow resistance of the greenhouse.

Covering Materials:

The thickness of PC panels generally ranges from 4 to 16 mm, with 8 mm and 10 mm being common. It has a hollow structure, which endows the PC panels with good thermal insulation properties. For instance, its heat insulation effect is better than that of ordinary glass greenhouses, effectively reducing heat transfer and minimizing heat loss in the greenhouse at night.

PC panels have a high light transmittance, reaching around 80% - 90%, which is similar to that of glass. Moreover, they have a relatively low ultraviolet transmittance, which helps protect the indoor plants from excessive ultraviolet damage. At the same time, PC panels also have impact resistance, which is 250 - 300 times that of ordinary glass, making them less likely to be damaged by external forces such as hail.

Advantages of Greenhouse Performance

Temperature Regulation:

PC panel greenhouses can effectively maintain the indoor temperature. During the day, sunlight penetrates the PC panels into the greenhouse, raising the indoor temperature. At night, its good thermal insulation performance can reduce heat dissipation, thus creating a relatively stable temperature environment. For example, in the northern winter, with appropriate auxiliary heating equipment, PC panel greenhouses can provide a suitable growth temperature for plants.

Lighting Environment:

Thanks to its high light transmittance, it can provide sufficient light for plants, ensuring the normal progress of photosynthesis. In addition, its light-scattering effect is better than that of glass, which makes the indoor light distribution more uniform, reduces the shaded areas during plant growth, and is conducive to the even growth of plants.

Resistance to Natural Disasters:

Due to the good impact resistance of PC panels, the risk of damage to the greenhouse is relatively low when facing natural disasters such as hail and strong winds. For example, in areas frequently hit by hail, PC panel greenhouses can effectively protect the internal plants from damage.

Applications

I.Agricultural Cultivation Field
Vegetable Cultivation:
PC panel greenhouses provide a suitable growth environment for vegetables. Many vegetable varieties, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce, have strict requirements for temperature, light, and humidity. In PC panel greenhouses, these environmental factors can be precisely controlled by adjusting systems such as ventilation, shading, and irrigation. For example, lettuce grows well in an environment with a temperature of 15 - 20 °C, sufficient light, and appropriate humidity. PC panel greenhouses can effectively maintain such an environment, thus improving the yield and quality of lettuce.

Flower Cultivation:
Flowers have even more stringent requirements for the growth environment. PC panel greenhouses can create a suitable microclimate according to the needs of different flower varieties. For light-loving flowers like roses, they can receive sufficient and uniform light in PC panel greenhouses, optimizing the color and petal texture of the flowers. At the same time, for some temperature-sensitive flowers, such as orchids, the thermal insulation performance of PC panel greenhouses can prevent the flowers from being damaged by excessively low temperatures at night.

Seedling Raising:
During the seedling stage, seedlings are very sensitive to environmental changes. PC panel greenhouses can provide stable temperature and light conditions, which are conducive to the germination of seeds and the healthy growth of seedlings. For example, in early spring, using PC panel greenhouses for seedling raising can enable the seedlings to grow in advance, buying time for subsequent transplantation and planting, and also improving the survival rate of the seedlings.

II.Leisure Agriculture Field
Eco-restaurants:
The eco-restaurants built with PC panel greenhouses combine natural landscapes with the dining environment. Their good light transmittance makes the interior of the restaurant bright and airy. Customers can enjoy delicious food while admiring the surrounding green plant landscapes. Moreover, the temperature inside the greenhouse is suitable and is not overly affected by external climate changes, providing customers with a comfortable dining environment.

Tourist Greenhouses:
As tourist greenhouses, PC panel greenhouses can display various rare plants, tropical plants, or characteristic agricultural planting patterns. Tourists can stroll inside the greenhouse, observe the growth forms of plants up close, and learn about agricultural knowledge. For example, some large tourist greenhouses will set up themed areas, such as tropical rainforest areas and desert plant areas. Through the environmental control of PC panel greenhouses, the climatic conditions of the original environment of these plants are simulated, making tourists feel as if they are in different natural ecological environments.

Technical Specifications

FAQ:

Q: Are you a factory or a trading company?
A: We are a manufacturer with a factory covering an area of 2,000 square meters and various production equipments.

Q: What is the material of the main structure of your greenhouse? How long can it be guaranteed to be used?
A: The main frame of our greenhouse is generally made of hot-dip galvanized steel. This material has super corrosion resistance. Under normal circumstances, with proper daily maintenance, its service life can reach 15 - 20 years. It can resist common natural disasters such as wind, rain, and snow pressure, providing a stable growing environment for the crops in the greenhouse.

Q: Before placing a large order, we'd like to buy a sample greenhouse to try it out first. Is that possible?
A: Yes. We can send you a small-scale greenhouse by LCL (Less than Container Load) sea shipping.

Q: I have a piece of land and I want to grow some vegetables or raise some fish, but I don't know what kind of greenhouse and what size I need. Can you help me with the design?
A: Of course. You can tell us the size of your land, your expected annual output of vegetables or fish, as well as the local climate information. Based on these data, we can design the style, size and price of the greenhouse for you. We'll also let you know approximately how many workers are needed and how long it will take to complete the installation, and how much yield you can expect in a year.

Q: Do you provide planting technical guidance after I purchase the greenhouse?
A: We have a professional planting technology team. After you purchase the greenhouse, according to the crop varieties you plant, we will customize a detailed planting plan for you, covering all aspects such as sowing time, planting density, fertilization and watering frequency, and key points of pest and disease prevention and control. During the planting process, you can contact our technicians via phone, video, etc. at any time, and they will answer your questions promptly.

Q: How long will it take to receive the greenhouse after placing an order?
A: Generally, for standard-specification greenhouses, production, transportation, installation and commissioning can be completed within 20 - 30 days after you place the order and the deposit arrives.
