Steel Structure and Architecture
Ask About Steel ProgramsHorticulture greenhouses rely heavily on steel structures for their framework because they require precision, durability, and long spans to support transparent glazing and environmental control systems. Steel allows for lightweight, strong, and flexible designs that maximize natural light while sustaining mechanical equipment like fans, screens, and irrigation systems. Structural Components Columns: Vertical members supporting the roof and sidewalls. Main Beams/Rafters: Span the width of the greenhouse, supporting glazing and roof loads. Trusses: Often used in larger spans (multi-span or Venlo-type greenhouses). Purlins: Support roof glazing panels. Girts: Support sidewall panels. Bracing: Stabilizes the structure against lateral loads. Bolted connections designed for accuracy and strength. Adjustable connections for slight corrections during assembly.
