Open roof greenhouses give a environment for plant Gearbox For Greenhouse growth when the outdoor weather is suitable and an artificial environment when it’s too hot or chilly. Starting the roof over the vegetation increases light intensity which can help control the development habit, flowering and crop timing. It also reduces electrical power costs as expensive enthusiast cooling is not needed.
Several methods are used to open up the roof. Some manufacturers make a roof that opens by rolling up the solitary or double coating of flexible plastic glazing that runs the space of the greenhouse bay. A small gear engine rotates a shaft that winds the plastic on to it just like a window color. A light, second framework over the structure secures the plastic-type material from bellowing out during windy weather. Starting and closing the roof can be either manual or automatic. Each side of the roof can be controlled independently for flexibility in cooling.
Folding roof greenhouses work well in snowy climates as they can be tightly shut during winter. Most designs use standard vent hardware. Some have panels that hinge at the gutter and open upward. Opening is nearly 100%. Others have panels that are hinged at the ridge and one gutter and slide sideways on teflon bearings. Opening is approximately 85%. Most designs use rubber gasketing to seal the joints. Glazing could be glass, polycarbonate or film plastic material. Some manufacturers give a movable gutter to gather rainwater when the roof is definitely partially open. Wind sensors should be installed to close the roof in stormy weather. Movable shade is frequently installed with the open up roof design. It reduces the heat load by reflecting the suns rays back out. The color curtain ought to be of a porous design 
to allow heat to escape. In northern climates an energy blanket can also be installed to reduce heat loss during the winter.
These structures contain a steel frame, versatile glazing and cable support. Woven UV stabilized polyethylene film creates a watertight glazing. Depending on the cropping system, bracing of the structure can be external cables attached to deadmen, inner compression braces or trusses with cable X bracing. Flat roof designs are used where there is small rainfall or snow. A-roof designs shed the rainfall and snow to an interior gutter system. Designs which will carry up to 35 lb/sq ft snow load and 100 mph wind loads are available. The roof opens in sections by shifting the leading edge of the curtain. One gear motor will handle up to 50,000 sq ft of roof Heating is more difficult than in a conventional greenhouse due to the single layer plastic-type material and higher infiltration through gaps and cracks in the seals.
