Greenhouses were originally specialized equipment for vegetable production. With the development of production, the applications of greenhouses have become increasingly widespread. At present, greenhouses are already used for potted flower and cut flower cultivation, fruit tree cultivation, forest seedling raising, ornamental tree growing, sericulture, chicken farming, cattle farming, pig farming, fish and fry, etc.

Greenhouses were originally specialized equipment for vegetable production. With the development of production, the applications of greenhouses have become increasingly widespread. At present, greenhouses are already used for potted flower and cut flower cultivation, fruit tree cultivation, forest seedling raising, ornamental tree growing, sericulture, chicken farming, cattle farming, pig farming, fish and fry, etc. Now let us take a look together at how much it costs to build a greenhouse!

Steel pipe greenhouse arched shed

[Cost] The cost of a steel pipe greenhouse is about 20-45 yuan per square meter.

[Specifications] The span of a steel pipe greenhouse is generally 8-14 m. The frame is entirely made of hot-dip galvanized steel pipes or rectangular pipes assembled and welded. Both sides of the greenhouse are equipped with manual film rollers and insect-proof nets.

[Advantages] The steel pipe greenhouse has a relatively low cost, uses an integral frame structure with high strength, and has a relatively high land utilization rate.

[Disadvantages] Its heat preservation and heat storage capacity is relatively weak, so it cannot meet winter production needs. It is suitable for spring and autumn cultivation of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and edible fungi.

Simple multi-span arched shed

[Cost] The cost of a simple multi-span arched shed is about 100 yuan per square meter. It is suitable for spring and autumn cultivation of high-value vegetables, flowers, medicinal materials, edible fungi, etc.

[Specifications] The frame of a simple multi-span arched shed uses hot-dip galvanized rectangular pipes or round pipes. The top is equipped with gutters, and the end faces are provided with ventilation windows. Its basic structure is the same as that of an arched shed.

[Advantages] The simple multi-span arched shed has a relatively large internal space, is suitable for large-scale factory-style operations, and has a high land utilization rate.

[Disadvantages] The simple multi-span arched shed has a relatively high cost, relatively low cooling efficiency in summer, and high drainage requirements.

Earth wall solar greenhouse

[Cost] The cost of an earth wall solar greenhouse is about 750-850 yuan per square meter. The cost is lower if the frame is not an all-steel frame. It is very suitable for off-season cultivation of high-value crops such as vegetables.

[Specifications] The span of an earth wall solar greenhouse is generally 10-15 m. The wall structure is built by repeatedly rolling and compacting earth. It is generally covered with 10-silk to 15-silk double anti-drip film. At present, the shed surface frame mostly adopts an all-steel welded structure. For insulation material, a greenhouse insulation quilt of 4-6 jin per square meter is generally selected, and a roller shutter machine is used to pull and release the insulation quilt.

[Advantages] The advantages of an earth wall solar greenhouse are relatively low cost, relatively good heat preservation and heat storage effect in winter, and relatively low later-stage use and maintenance costs.

[Disadvantages] The wall of an earth wall solar greenhouse occupies a relatively large area, affecting the net planting area of the greenhouse, and it has certain requirements for soil quality. If the wall is not properly protected, it is easily eroded by rain and snow, affecting its service life.

Brick wall solar greenhouse

[Cost] The cost of a brick wall solar greenhouse is 1600-1700 yuan per meter. Among this, the cost of the greenhouse wall is about 1000 yuan per square meter, and the cost of shed surface materials such as the shed surface frame is about 600-700 yuan. It is suitable for cultivation of vegetables, edible fungi, flowers, fruit trees, etc.

[Specifications] The span of a brick wall solar greenhouse is 8-15 m. Its wall structure is built with red bricks or concrete foamed bricks. The wall thickness is generally 0.37-1 m. The other structures are basically the same as those of an earth wall solar greenhouse, all composed of an all-steel frame, covering film, insulation cotton quilt, and roller shutter mechanism. If several types of steel frames are used as shed surface support, the cost per meter of the greenhouse can also be reduced. Among this, the cost of the brick wall is about 1000 yuan per meter. Using concrete foamed bricks can reduce the greenhouse cost by 100-150 yuan per meter.

[Advantages] The structure of a brick wall solar greenhouse is sturdy and durable, and its service life can reach 20-25 years. A brick wall solar greenhouse has a relatively high land utilization rate and strong regional applicability, and is especially suitable for construction and use in areas with complex geology, low water levels, and where earth walls cannot be built.

[Disadvantages] Because a brick wall solar greenhouse adopts a brick wall structure, its cost is higher than that of an earth wall solar greenhouse, and the investment payback period is relatively long.

New solar greenhouse

[Cost] The cost of a new solar greenhouse is 1000-1200 yuan per meter. It is actually upgraded from an earth wall solar greenhouse and is suitable for high-value-added industries such as scientific research experiments, breeding and seedling raising, and exhibitions.

[Specifications] The overall structure of a new solar greenhouse is consistent with that of a traditional solar greenhouse, and the span can reach more than 15 m. The wall part is built with an earth wall and then reinforced with cement mortar. The greenhouse frame is made of hot-dip galvanized rectangular pipes plus spring clips and slots, and the rest is the same as an earth wall solar greenhouse.

[Advantages] The wall of the new solar greenhouse is reinforced with cement mortar, which reduces the risk of wall collapse of an earth wall solar greenhouse, and increases durability and service life by more than 5-10 years. The shed surface film is fixed with spring clips and slots, making it more convenient to replace the film later. With a large span and large space, advanced equipment such as mobile seedbeds and mobile sprinkler irrigation can be configured.

[Disadvantages] The wall of the new solar greenhouse occupies a relatively large area, and the greenhouse cost is relatively high, reducing the cost-effectiveness of the solar greenhouse and making promotion and popularization relatively difficult.
