The greenhouse should be built in a place with open terrain, sufficient water resources, convenient transportation, flat land or sunny slopes, no pollution sources around, good lighting, and no accumulation of water. The greenhouse walls should be thick and have good thermal insulation properties.
Single-frame greenhouses are usually constructed using metal or wood as the main support material. Compared with multi-layer or composite structures, the single-structure frame greenhouse structure is simpler, the cost is relatively low, and the installation is more convenient.
The single-arch greenhouse adopts the principle of heat absorption and insulation, and uses transparent covering materials (such as plastic film) to allow solar radiation to enter, while blocking the loss of ground long-wave radiation, so as to maintain a high indoor temperature and provide a suitable growth environment for crops.
