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

Sizing

How the footprint is set

01 · Length

15 bay sections of 4.00 m13 ft 1 in set the length: 60.00 m196 ft 10 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

4 truss spans of 8.00 m26 ft 3 in set the width: 32.00 m105 ft. That completes the growing footprint: 1,920 m²20,667 sq ft under glass.

03 · Service building

A 32.0 × 8.0 m105 ft × 26 ft 3 in service building sits alongside the greenhouse — 256 m²2,756 sq ft for packing, technical installations and storage.

04 · The footprint

Overall footprint: 40.00 × 60.00 m131 ft 3 in × 196 ft 10 in — 2,176 m²23,422 sq ft covered. Every model in the series is composed the same way: scaling up adds sections and spans, not a redesign.

Cross-section

What the structure is

4 truss spans of 8.00 m across a length of 15 bays. Every figure on this page derives from those two counts.

Venlo geometry: 21.6° pitch, gutters at 4.00 m, ridge at 5.09 m. Length is 15 bays of 4.00 m.Venlo geometry: 21.6° pitch, gutters at 13 ft 1 in, ridge at 16 ft 8 in. Length is 15 bays of 13 ft 1 in.
