What is a Shade House with Speical Cover?

A shade hosue with cover is a structure in which plants are grown. It can also be called a glasshouse or hot house. It is comprised of a frame structure with different types of covering materials, such as glass, woven fabric or plastic on the roof and walls.

There are many different sized shade housess, ranging from mini, small to huge commercial sizes.

In the large commercial shadehouses, high tech production facilities are usually installed for maximising growing efficiency e.g. fans, humidifiers, misting, automated watering and fertilising, climate control devices, lighting systems, automated venting, ebb and flow benching, heated benching, rolling benches etc.

Why Use a Special Shade House with Woven Fabric Cover?

A shade house is not only useful to plants, but also beneficial to growers. See the reasons for using a Shade house with special cover below.

For plants

• Propagating seeds or cuttings ready for potting. Grow plants, fruit and vegetables to maximise production rates
• Provide protection from wind, rain, snow and any other extreme weather conditions
• Prevent damage from pests and animals.
• Provide ideal growing conditions

For growers

• Keep growers warm and dry
• Improve space by using multi-tier/layer shelves in a shade house
• Staff can spend longer hours in greenhouse where power, heat and light are provided.
• Maximise growing conditions and product output
• Optimum environment and layout for showing off rare and precious plants

How do C-Mac's Special Shade Houses work?

A greenhouse works by collecting light and converting that light to heat within its structure.

The structure and covering material reduces the rate at which thermal energy flows out of the structure after the sunshine is absorbed into the greenhouse. Glass or plastic is the typical material for lining a greenhouse as it allows sunlight to pass through.

The air inside the special shade house is warmed by the heat from the interior surfaces and is retained in the building by the roof and walls. In other words, this special product:

• Collect solar and absorb heat
• Stores thermal energy and releases energy in a controlled manner.
• Moderating and controlling temperatures and breezes create an ideal, controllable environment for plants to grow and thrive.

Which plants are suitable to grow in these shade houses?

• Fruits such as strawberries, raspberry, peaches, grapes, melons, oranges, lemon…….
• Cool season crops like lettuce, broccoli, peas and carrots…..
• Warm season vegetables such as spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant……
• Cutting flowers such as oriental lilies, some specific sunflowers and dianthus…….
• Seeds that need a warm and constant temperature
• Starting off hardy plants earlier than outdoors to produce more crops per year
