Truss greenhouse

Truss greenhouses are known for their excellent ventilation, efficient climate control and strong construction.

By default, these conservatories are constructed with beeches 9.60 or 12.80 meters wide, but modifications are possible upon specific request. The length of a beech is determined by the section size, which varies between 4 and 5 meters. The standard height of the legs is 4.2 meters, but can be adjusted to a maximum of 6 meters upon request.

Thanks to its high clear height, a truss greenhouse offers logistical advantages, such as the ability to work with machinery in the greenhouse, and contributes to a more stable greenhouse climate.

Types of ventilation

Ridge ventilation

The Vermako greenhouse opens into the ridge, where warm air naturally rises. Ridge ventilation creates a chimney effect, providing efficient and natural air circulation.

Ridge options:

Openings along one or both sides of the ridge.
Semi-ventilation: One roof section opens, while the other remains fixed.

Technical Specifications:

Ventilation runs the full length of the conservatory.
The system is attached to the gutter and opens with a tooth bar and drive tube.
An opening up to 1.8 meters along the entire length of the beech is possible.
Alternating ridge openings ensure optimal air circulation.

Poly ventilation

With poly-ventilation, both roof sections can be opened, providing maximum air circulation along the full length of the conservatory.

Technical Specifications:

Opening along the entire length of the conservatory, up to 1.2 meters wide per beech.
Ventilation can be split for greater flexibility.
The system is attached to the gutter and opens with a tooth bar and drive tube.

A climate computer automatically regulates the opening of the hoods based on weather conditions for optimal greenhouse climate.

R-S Type: Roller and screen film greenhouse

The R-S greenhouse combines netting and foil, with the foil being rollable. This design mimics outdoor conditions optimally, allowing the crop to harden off. In extreme weather conditions, the roof can be easily closed for protection.

Cultivation does not have to be moved to the container field. This saves you work and logistics costs.

How will the conservatory be clad?

Although greenhouses are often associated with glass, Vermako opts for high-quality foil cladding. The choice between foil or glass depends on the crop, because not every plant species grows optimally under the same conditions. Vermako ‘s specially designed foil creates ideal growing conditions. In addition, foil cladding allows large areas to be opened, such as the roof and sides, for additional ventilation and flexibility.

Unique properties of Vermako films:

Anti-condensation: Prevents light loss due to condensation droplets sliding off the film.
Diffuse light: Provides even light distribution so that plants are reached from all sides.
Double film: Provides additional insulation for better temperature regulation.
Weather resistance: Less damage to the film and the crop in extreme weather conditions compared to glass.

Technical Description

Construction base: trusses, produced in our own workshop.
Materials:
- Trusses and legs: hot-dipped galvanized profiles.
- Gutters and ridge profiles: aluminum.
- Arches, supports and crosses: round or oval tubes, zenzimir galvanized (according to EN Standard 10305.3 – Z 275).
Doors and ventilation: sliding doors and side vents made of aluminum.
Flexible sizing: Box sizes or beeches can be enlarged with a bridging truss.
Layout: possibility of separation of departments by partitions.
Suitable for additional installations: Designed as an optimal base for 3rd party installations such as screening, heating, spray trees, and so on.
