Invernadero hidropónico de 1 acre

Sizing

How the footprint is set

01 · Length

21 bay sections of 4.00 m13 ft 1 in set the length: 84.00 m275 ft 7 in. The bay section — the column spacing along the gutter — is the repeat unit of the structure: one more section adds 4.00 m13 ft 1 in of length.

02 · Width

6 truss spans of 8.00 m26 ft 3 in set the width: 48.00 m157 ft 6 in. That completes the growing footprint: 4,032 m²43,400 sq ft under glass.

03 · Service building

A 40.0 × 16.0 m131 ft 3 in × 52 ft 6 in service building sits alongside the greenhouse — 640 m²6,889 sq ft for packing, technical installations and storage.

04 · The footprint

Overall footprint: 64.00 × 84.00 m210 ft × 275 ft 7 in — 4,672 m²50,289 sq ft covered. Every model in the series is composed the same way: scaling up adds sections and spans, not a redesign.

Discuss this model

A greenhouse is not bought by the square metre. It is bought by the kilo it returns, in the climate it stands in.

Cross-section

What the structure is

6 truss spans of 8.00 m across a length of 21 bays. Every figure on this page derives from those two counts.

Venlo geometry: 21.6° pitch, gutters at 4.80 m, ridge at 5.89 m. Length is 21 bays of 4.00 m.Venlo geometry: 21.6° pitch, gutters at 15 ft 9 in, ridge at 19 ft 4 in. Length is 21 bays of 13 ft 1 in.

Preguntas frecuentes

What crops can I grow?

Suited for hydroponic production of fruiting vegetables, leafy greens and specialized crops like strawberries and herbs.

Is the greenhouse customizable?

Absolutely — systems for heating, screening, cooling and humidification can be adapted.

What is included?

The greenhouse structure (≈ 4,100 m²), hydroponic setup, climate computer, irrigation and a service building.

How long from order to installation?

Around 12–14 weeks to ready-for-shipment; on-site construction typically 2–3 months.

How much does this 1 acre glass greenhouse cost?

The model has a fixed hardware price in one price book — the same book our quote documents are generated from. Basis: FOB Rotterdam hardware (Venlo steel/glass structure, heating, dual energy screens, irrigation/fertigation, suspended gutters, electricals, climate computer), engineering included; local assembly and concrete are always estimated separately.
