Aqua Hub’s Greenhouse Materials in Kenya
All the necessary and important materials for the construction of greenhouses in Kenya include.
Greenhouse polythene cover
Plastic greenhouse polythene cover is a primary material for housing the greenhouse structure. Comes in 200 – 300 mm thickness sizes, ideal for enhancing the optimal growing environment needed for crop development.
Pillars and Support Structures
Consists of either wood, steel, aluminum or iron metals. Steel metal poles are the most preferable due to their non-corrosive and strong nature.
Foundation and Floor Reinforcement
The pillars are erected and reinforced with cement to ensure they remain firm for the greenhouse to remain strong for a lifetime.
Arches
Forms the tunnel or U – shaped design on the roof side. Arches are attached to steel metal pillars using tapping screws.
Steel or metallic materials are applied to the top of metallic greenhouses to ensure stronger anchorage of the greenhouse polythene cover.
Crop Support wires
Consists of support threads and wires in some greenhouses for supporting twining crops such as French beans and cucumber.
Gutters
Gutters are for collecting rainwater from the roofs of greenhouse structures. Fitting gutters on a greenhouse enhances water collection for use in irrigation or fertilizer applications. Gutters also prevent water from eroding the soil and weakening the poles of the greenhouse on the outside area.
