Greenhouse Construction & Greenhouse Technicians
Our greenhouses are designed in two types, either flat arched or tunnel shaped greenhouses. We design your greenhouse according to the choice of crop planted, greenhouse size and crop spacing.
There are two types of greenhouses recommended by Aqua Hub Kenya: wooden and metallic greenhouses. We mainly deal in Metallic greenhouse installation, as wooden greenhouses are less recommended since they do not last for a long time. We sell metallic greenhouse materials which include greenhouse covers, profile bars, wiggle wires, side shade nets and irrigation pipes.
What You Need to Know before buying a greenhouse
Before purchasing Greenhouse, materials, and settling on the type of greenhouse to build, you must know the measurements of greenhouses available, costs and determinant factors to consider.
The area should be determined to ensure it is suitable for setting up a greenhouse. The conditions an area should meet for greenhouse suitability are:
- Climatic conditions – The areas should be warm to prevent humidity as it affects plant flowering.
- Topography – The land should be flat to enhance stability of the greenhouse.
- Market – The market should be nearly or readily available.
- Water – Water for irrigation should be considered if available.
How long does greenhouse last?
Metallic greenhouses are more effective and durable than wooden greenhouses. When properly built, they can last for more than 50 years.
However, wooden greenhouses can also be tailored to last long by applying anti-termite repellent oil on wooden posts to prevent damage by termites. They can also be treated and dried to ensure they do not decay easily.
