Single-span plastic film greenhouse is a type of greenhouse
structure typically used for growing plants in controlled
environments. It features a single, continuous span (or arch) of metal or other
frame materials, over which a layer of plastic film is stretched to
form the covering. The structure is designed to provide an ideal
environment for plant growth by trapping heat from the sun,
protecting crops from harsh weather conditions, and controlling
temperature, humidity, and light levels.
Key Characteristics Include:
Single Span: The greenhouse has one continuous roof or arch structure (as
opposed to multi-span greenhouses, which have multiple sections). This simplifies construction and makes it more affordable for
smaller or medium-scale operations.
Plastic Film Covering: The outer layer is typically made of UV-resistant plastic film,
such as polyethylene, which is lightweight, cost-effective, and
provides good light transmission. The film may be single or double-layered for added insulation.
Environmental Control: The greenhouse helps maintain optimal temperature and humidity
levels for plant growth by trapping solar heat inside. Some models include ventilation systems or fans to regulate
temperature during hot weather.
Cost-Effectiveness: Single-span plastic film greenhouses are generally more affordable
compared to glass or polycarbonate greenhouses, making them popular
among small to medium-scale farmers, especially in temperate or
semi-arid climates.
Use: These greenhouses are often used for growing vegetables, fruits,
flowers, or herbs, as they provide a controlled environment that
extends growing seasons and protects plants from pests and
diseases.
