Murcia-Type Greenhouses (“Almería, Canary”)
Grupo IEP’s Murcia-type greenhouses, commonly known as “Canary” or “Almería,” offer an economical and adaptable solution, widely used in regions like southeastern Spain. Featuring a flexible structure of tensioned wires and galvanized steel supports, these greenhouses utilize plastic film covers secured by wire mesh, providing uniform light distribution and wind resistance. With heights up to 4.2 meters and both side and roof ventilation, they adapt to various terrains and needs, ideal for horticultural crops in warm climates.
General Characteristics
The trellis-type greenhouse is characterized by its flexible structural components, primarily consisting of individual wires or braided cables tensioned during construction using ground-anchored tensioning devices.
The roof enclosure employs flexible plastic sheets sandwiched between two layers of galvanized wire mesh, spanning the entire structure.
The framework consists of two rigid support types: perimeter and interior posts, arranged in customized configurations. These hot-dip galvanized steel supports are anchored via concrete foundations.
The roofing system assembles two overlapping galvanized wire mesh layers, with the plastic film secured between them via stitched perforation points. The mesh is knotted to the structural supports.
The most common dimensions for trellis-type greenhouses vary according to greenhouse type, with the following parameters:
Module length: Customizable based on client needs
Total structure width: Up to 50 meters maximum per span
Maximum ridge height: it depends on the width of the span and side height
Maximum side height: up to 3 m in general
Trellis-Type Greenhouse
The trellis-type greenhouse is a gable-roof structure that can be equipped with side gutters when water collection is required.
