Greenhouse Features

• Shape – There are two design shapes of greenhouses: tunnel and vent greenhouses. Tunnel greenhouses are U- shaped, while Vented greenhouses are V or U- shaped but with a ventilation on the rooftop.
• Ventilation – The ventilation of a green house is the space left for air circulation and temperature regulation in a green house. Ventilation is mainly fitted with insect nets to prevent insects from entering the greenhouse.

Constructing a Greenhouse

When constructing a green house, several factors need to be considered to ensure a proper structure for effective propagation. The main factors to consider are;

•  Water availability – The presence of adequate water source and supply is necessary for use in green house farming. Water sources can be a nearby well and tank set up to connect with a drip irrigation system or direct connected pumps from a dam.
•  Availability of enough space – Adequate space for setting up a greenhouse. The land or plot should be big to fit regular greenhouse dimensions.
• Cost – The cost will determine the structure and type of green house. Metallic greenhouses will cost more than wooden ones.
• Terrain – The landscape should be flat and suitable for building proper upright structures. The area should be free from rocks and thick vegetation or trees.
•  Soil Drainage – The soil should have a good drainage and water holding capacity. Areas with clay and other waterlogging soil should be avoided.
• Winds – The area should be calm or less windy. Strong winds destroy green house structures frequently, especially wooden greenhouses.
