REDPATH CROP
MASTER GREENHOUSE
(Straight
Rafter):
A GENERAL REVIEW
The Crop Master greenhouse is the traditional straight
rafter, twin skin building, resulting in lower manufacturing costs compared
to the curved rafter designs. It's specifications are equal to or
exceed those of other straight rafter and truss buildings on the market.
Although, it does not take advantage of the Redpath advances in curved
rafter and raised ridge technology for high performance grow safe structures,
it does provide a capable growing environment for many horticultural enterprises.
It is suited to buildings of 1 to 3 bays wide that do not require the high
ventilation and condensation control demanded by the larger, highly automated,
high performance environments that are fine tuned to maximize yield per
square metre.
The Crop Master has the following features:
-
Backed by the Redpath reputation for superior structural
design and backup service.
-
Pole heights from 2.5m(8’4”) to 3.5m(11’6”).
-
Span widths of 7.7m(25’4”) and 9.2m(30’2”).
-
Particularly suited to side ventilation to enhance
airflow over the crop.
-
Individual vent or multi-vent control options available.
-
Large accessible gutters- standard economical flat
walk through gutters.
-
20 kg/m2 crop loading.
-
Twin skin as standard.
-
Lower gable height of the straight rafter building
is suited to areas with height restrictions.
-
Economical to construct.
-
Shade or thermal screen options available.
-
Bumble Bee compatible Duratough.
