Greenhouses offer various benefits for gardening and plant cultivation, making them valuable for both hobbyists and commercial growers.
What are the benefits of Greenhouses (Glasshouses)?
-
Extended Growing Season: Greenhouses create a controlled environment, allowing plants to be grown outside of their natural seasons. This extends the growing season, providing the opportunity to cultivate crops year-round.
-
Temperature Control: Greenhouses help regulate temperature, protecting plants from extreme weather conditions such as frost, excessive heat, or cold winds. This control is crucial for optimal plant growth.
-
Protection from Pests and Diseases: Enclosed spaces of a greenhouse offer a barrier against pests, insects, and diseases. This protection reduces the need for chemical pesticides and promotes healthier plant growth.
-
Optimized Light Exposure: Greenhouses allow growers to manipulate light exposure, ensuring that plants receive the right amount of sunlight for photosynthesis. This is especially beneficial in areas with limited sunlight or during the winter months.
-
Increased Crop Yields: With a controlled environment, plants can thrive, leading to higher yields and better-quality crops. This is particularly advantageous for commercial agriculture.
-
Water Conservation: Greenhouses reduce water usage by minimizing evaporation and maintaining a more controlled moisture level. This can be especially important in regions with water scarcity.
-
Crop Variety: The controlled environment of a greenhouse facilitates the cultivation of a wide range of plant species, including those that may not be well-suited to the local climate.
-
Faster Growth: The optimized conditions within a greenhouse, including temperature and humidity control, can accelerate plant growth compared to open-field cultivation.
-
Research and Experimentation: Greenhouses provide a controlled setting for research and experimentation in agriculture. This is valuable for plant breeding, studying growth patterns, and developing new cultivation techniques.
-
Energy Efficiency: Modern greenhouses often incorporate energy-efficient technologies, such as insulated materials and climate control systems, making them more sustainable and cost-effective in the long run.
What type of Greenhouses do you sell?
At Keans Claremorris we sell three different models. The Models are The Strong Greenhouse, The Sigma Greenhouse and the Prima Greenhouse. You can view all the greenhouses on our website.
What is the difference between "Strong" and "Sigma" Greenhouses?
The primary distinction between these two greenhouses lies in their frame designs. The "Strong" greenhouse features a profile-type frame with an internal supporting structure, specifically designed for the addition of shelves and hanging baskets. On the other hand, the "Sigma" greenhouse is equipped with a tube-type frame measuring 20mm x 40mm, devoid of an internal supporting frame, providing an unobstructed space within. Optionally, galvanized steel shelves can be added for the Sigma model. Additionally, the "Sigma" greenhouse has slightly wider doors and windows. Despite these variations, both models exhibit equal strength.
