How many types of greenhouses are there?
1. Classification by covering material
Plastic greenhouse: plastic film is used as covering material, with low cost and good light transmittance, but relatively poor durability.
Glass greenhouse: glass is used as the main covering material, with high light transmittance, beautiful appearance, long service life, but high cost.
Sunshine board greenhouse: the top and surrounding covering materials are sunshine boards, which have strong impact resistance and good thermal insulation, but the service life is not as good as glass.
2. Classification by structural form
Single greenhouse: independent building, small span, generally 4-12 meters, easy to manage, but low land utilization rate.
Multi-span greenhouse: connect multiple single greenhouses, with large coverage area and high land utilization rate, but high ventilation management requirements.
Solar greenhouse: mainly composed of two sides and rear wall foundation and insulation layer, with good energy-saving effect, suitable for off-season planting in northern regions.
3. Classification by functional use
Planting greenhouse: used for planting crops such as vegetables, flowers, and fruits.
Aquaculture greenhouse: used for breeding of livestock, poultry, aquatic products and other animals.
Scientific research greenhouse: used for agricultural research, experimentation and education.
Exhibition greenhouse: used for plant exhibition and viewing. 1
Classification by heating conditions
Heated greenhouse: equipped with heating equipment, which can provide suitable temperature in cold seasons.
Unheated greenhouse: relies on natural light and insulation materials to maintain temperature, which is energy-saving but subject to seasonal restrictions.
There are many types of greenhouses, and users can choose the appropriate type according to actual needs to improve agricultural production efficiency and economic benefits.
