The greenhouses polycarbonate has a pigment that diffuses light, supplying outstanding light quality for plant development. Roofing system vents in each bay enable for natural ventilation. The gable style has an internal truss that can accommodate a motorized nighttime thermal curtain, which Baumans strategies to set up in the future.
