Greenhouses and net houses both protect growing areas, but they do so in different ways. The right choice depends on the crop, the level of environmental control required, the season and the operating plan.
What a greenhouse provides
A greenhouse uses a covered structure that can support ventilation, fans, cooling pads and controlled irrigation. It is useful where the project requires greater separation from external conditions and more control over the internal environment.
What a net house provides
A net house uses agricultural or shade netting on a supporting frame. It can reduce direct exposure, provide shade and help protect crops while allowing more natural air movement.
Questions to answer before choosing
The decision should follow the needs of the project rather than the appearance of the structure.
- Which crops will be grown?
- How much climate control is required?
- What irrigation system will be used?
- What maintenance can the operating team support?
Consider the complete operating cost
Compare installation, cooling, irrigation, replacement materials and maintenance requirements. A structure that fits the operating plan is usually a better decision than selecting by initial cost alone.
