Open roof greenhouses provide a environment for plant growth when the outdoor climate would work and an artificial environment when it is too hot or frosty.

In addition, it reduces electrical power costs as expensive enthusiast cooling is not needed.
Several methods are used to open up the roof. Some producers make a roof that opens by rolling up the solitary or double level of flexible plastic-type material glazing that runs the distance of the greenhouse bay. A small gear engine rotates a shaft that winds the plastic-type on to it just like a window color. A light, second framework over the structure secures the plastic material from bellowing out during windy climate. Opening and closing the roof can be either manual or automatic. Each side of the roof could be managed independently for versatility in cooling.
Folding roof greenhouses work very well in snowy climates as they can be tightly closed during cold weather. Most designs use regular vent hardware. Some possess panels that hinge at the gutter and open up upward. Opening is nearly 100%. Others have panels that are hinged at the ridge and one gutter and slide sideways on teflon bearings. Opening is approximately 85%. Most designs make use of rubber gasketing to seal the joints. Glazing could be glass, polycarbonate or film plastic-type. Some manufacturers provide a movable gutter to collect rainwater when the roof can be partially open up. Wind sensors should be set up to close the roof in stormy weather. Movable shade is generally installed with the open roof design. It reduces heat load by reflecting the suns rays back out. The color curtain ought to be of a porous style to allow heat to flee. In Gearbox For Greenhouse northern climates an energy blanket can also be installed to lessen heat loss during the winter.
These structures contain a steel frame, flexible glazing and cable support. Woven UV stabilized polyethylene film produces a watertight glazing. With respect to the cropping program, bracing of the framework can be external cables mounted on deadmen, inner compression braces or trusses with cable X bracing. Flat roof designs are used where there is small rainfall or snow. A-roof designs shed the rain and snow to an internal gutter system. Styles which will carry up to 35 lb/sq ft snow load and 100 mph wind loads can be found. The roof opens in sections by shifting the industry leading of the curtain. One gear motor will manage up to 50,000 sq ft of roof Heating system is more difficult than in a typical greenhouse because of the single layer plastic-type material and better infiltration through gaps and cracks in the seals.
