Wooden greenhouses can be fully or partially repaired depending on the level of damage at hand. Repair involves replacing old wooden poles, fixing new roofing frames, replacing torn insect nets, and repairing holes in torn green house cover.

Metallic Greenhouse Repair

Metallic greenhouses have very low chances of damage especially when constructed with the right materials. Damage normally occurs on green house covers, wiggle wires, torn shade nets, gutters, and damaged irrigation pipes.
Replacing polythene material depends on the level of damage or holes on the greenhouse cover. Screws are the most critical parts for the strength of the metallic structure.
