Some greenhouse projects require more from the structure than simply supporting the roof.

🍃High wind loads. ❄️Snow. Heavy crop loads. Large spans. A need for more natural light. Greater internal volume. Fewer structural elements interfering with the growing area.

These requirements change the .

For certain projects, one of the structural solutions we evaluate is the oval tube.

Its geometry provides a different relationship between rigidity, material and structural behaviour. When incorporated into a properly engineered greenhouse, it can reduce the need for some of the conventional reinforcement elements that normally occupy space above the crop.

And that has consequences beyond structural strength.

Less steel intercepting incoming radiation means fewer shadows over the cultivation area. A more open structural configuration can also contribute to greater internal volume, improved air circulation and easier movement of machinery and personnel.

But an oval tube alone does not define the performance of a greenhouse.

The pillars, capitals, gutters, spans, connections and reinforcements have to be engineered as part of the same structural system. Wind, snow, crop loads, greenhouse dimensions and local regulations determine what the final configuration should look like.

That is why we do not incorporate this solution simply because it is available.

We use it when the crop, climate, dimensions and structural requirements of the project justify its capabilities. And this is where the interesting part begins.

Depending on the project, changing the geometry of the structure can influence much more than resistance: light availability, internal space, ventilation, installation and ultimately the conditions in which the crop will operate for years.

The exact configuration? That depends on your project! ⬅️

If you are planning a professional greenhouse and structural resistance, natural light or internal volume are critical variables, send us your location, crop and approximate surface.

Our engineering team can determine whether an oval-tube structure makes sense for your facility.

An empty plot has no production capacity.

What turns it into a high-performance agricultural asset is everything that happens between these two images.

The first stage is engineering.

Before steel reaches the site, the project has to define greenhouse geometry, structural loads, internal layout, ventilation, climate strategy, water, electricity, automation, access, technical areas and the interfaces required by the growing system.

In this case, the final objective was particularly demanding: intensive lettuce production using a latest-generation MGS mobile gutter system.

That changes the greenhouse itself.

A mobile growing system requires precise structural alignment, carefully planned internal logistics, integration with irrigation and automation, and climate conditions capable of supporting a high-density crop consistently across the complete production area.

Then comes manufacturing.

Columns, gutters, trusses, arches, connections and the rest of the structural components must leave the factory according to the engineering developed for that specific project. At this scale, standardisation helps ex*****on, but precision determines whether everything fits together correctly on site.

Construction is the next phase: foundations, structure, covering, ventilation, screens, irrigation, electrical systems, climate equipment and the MGS installation must converge into one coordinated facility.

And then comes the part that ultimately justifies every previous decision:

✅ Production.

The empty land becomes an operational greenhouse capable of moving lettuce through an intensive cultivation system designed to maximise use of space and support a repeatable production process.

👉🏼 This is where the value of a greenhouse supplier should be measured.

Not only by the structure delivered, but by its ability to take responsibility for the complete journey from engineering concept to functioning production infrastructure.

💥 Design.
💥 Engineering.
💥 Manufacturing.
💥 Construction.
💥 Technology integration.
💥 Operation.

The two images may look like a simple “before and after”.

Between them sits the entire project.

If your company is planning a large-scale greenhouse or intensive hydroponic facility, send us your location, crop, approximate surface and production objective.

That is where the engineering conversation should begin.

Take a look at this video.
This is how a greenhouse moves from engineering drawings to real installation on site. And sometimes, one of the most valuable decisions is also one of the least obvious. White-lacquered arches. Why use them?

The greenhouse structure does more than carry loads. It also interacts with the light entering the crop and with the plastic covering that protects it.

A white surface reflects more incident light than a dark metallic surface, helping reduce the amount of radiation absorbed by the structure itself and contributing to a brighter internal environment around the crop.

In projects where natural light is a key production factor, that detail matters.

The lacquered finish also creates an additional protective layer over the steel, especially in areas where the plastic is in permanent contact with the arch.

That contact point is critical.

Movement caused by wind, thermal expansion and repeated friction can progressively damage the covering if the support surface is rough, oxidized or poorly protected.

A smoother, coated arch helps reduce abrasion and limits direct exposure of the steel, contributing to longer plastic life and better durability of the greenhouse envelope.

These are small decisions on paper.

But once repeated across hundreds of arches and several hectares, they become part of the performance of the whole project. More light available for the crop. Better protection of the covering. Greater durability. Better use of the structure itself.

A greenhouse should not only stand.
It should help the crop perform and help the investment last.
If you are planning a professional greenhouse project, tell us your crop, location and approximate surface.

We can help you define the structural details that make a difference long after construction is finished.

Some projects prove their value when the weather stops being friendly.

This Berryfesta project was built in northern Spain for professional strawberry plant production, in an area where strong and persistent winds are part of the real operating conditions.

That requirement influenced the structure from the beginning.

Berryfesta uses a reinforced Gothic design inspired by professional greenhouse structures, providing greater rigidity and durability than a conventional agricultural tunnel while keeping the investment at a level suited to commercial berry production.

Its geometry also brings important agronomic advantages.

With up to 5 metres of height at the zenith and open or mesh-covered fronts and sides, the structure promotes natural air movement and creates a larger air volume around the crop. The Gothic roof also directs condensation towards the sides instead of allowing it to accumulate above the plants.

For this 4.5-hectare project, three production areas were developed. Two of them incorporated protective mesh specifically to respond to the strong winds present in the location.

And this structural approach has already been tested in demanding conditions: Berryfesta projects exposed to very strong, constant winds have remained operational and structurally stable.

The system can also integrate elevated or suspended hydroponic growing lines, drainage collection and rainwater management, depending on the production strategy.

For berry growers, the equation is attractive: stronger crop protection, better ventilation, professional hydroponic options and a reinforced structure without moving directly to the investment level of a fully high-tech greenhouse.

If you are planning a berry or vegetable project in an area exposed to wind, send us your location, crop and approximate surface.

We can study whether Berryfesta is the right structural and economic solution for your farm.

Winter is often where the commercial value of a greenhouse project is truly tested.

This drone footage shows a three-hectare greenhouse facility recently developed in southeastern Spain for professional vegetable production. From the air, the structure defines the scale of the project. Inside the technical area, the systems that protect its production calendar become visible.

The installation includes a boiler-based heating system, a buffer tank and the associated climate equipment required to maintain more stable growing conditions during periods of low external temperature.

The buffer tank stores thermal energy and helps balance heat production with the real demand of the greenhouse. It supports a more continuous supply, reduces unnecessary boiler cycling and provides additional capacity when the crop requires a rapid climatic response.

This stability matters across three hectares.

Temperature differences between sectors can affect plant development, transpiration, nutrient uptake, flowering, fruit set and harvest uniformity. The heating network must therefore be designed in relation to the greenhouse volume, crop requirements, external climate, sectorisation and control strategy.

A well-integrated system gives the grower greater control during cold nights and winter periods. It also makes it possible to protect production programmes that depend on supplying consistent volumes and quality when market availability is lower.

For large agricultural companies, this has a direct strategic value.

The capacity to cultivate throughout the year extends the productive window, improves planning, supports commercial commitments and helps maintain a strong market position month after month.

The greenhouse structure, boiler, buffer tank, heat distribution, sensors and climate-control system must operate as one coordinated infrastructure. Their value lies in giving the growing team the conditions required to manage the crop with precision throughout the complete cycle.

This project was conceived with that objective: three hectares prepared to produce high-quality vegetables during summer, autumn, winter and spring.

Companies planning a large-scale greenhouse project should define their production calendar before specifying the equipment.

Send us your crop, location, approximate surface and intended harvest period. We can start a technical conversation about the climate strategy required to produce throughout the year.

Extreme heat, strong winds and rising production costs are making the choice of a protected-cropping structure more important than ever.

Growers need reliable crop protection, but the investment must remain proportional to the production model and expected return.

The project shown in this drone video uses the Berryfesta Gothic Macro Tunnel, a reinforced structure developed for berries and vegetables.

Its gothic shape, 5-metre zenith height and open or mesh-covered sides improve natural ventilation and increase the volume of air inside the structure.

This design helps avoid the central heat build-up that can occur in conventional Canarian-style tunnels, creating more uniform conditions across the cultivation area.

Its reinforced structure has also demonstrated reliable performance in projects exposed to persistent and very strong winds.

The gothic roof directs condensation towards the sides, while optional rainwater collection and elevated or suspended hydroponic systems make it possible to adapt the project to different production strategies.

Berryfesta offers growers a practical balance between crop protection, structural reliability, climate performance and controlled investment.

It is designed to help professional producers pursue strong yields and quality without paying for technology that their production model does not require.

🏗️ Before this greenhouse had a roof, it had thousands of decisions.

What you see in this video is the completed interior of a greenhouse project developed for **Enza Zaden in Spain**. The structure now looks clean, ordered and almost inevitable, as though every element could only have been placed where it is.

📐 Engineering is what creates that result.

The process begins with an idea, a technical requirement and an empty plot. From there, the greenhouse must be translated into geometry, loads, dimensions, connections and construction sequences.

🔩 Every steel tube has a position.

📏 Every truss has a span to support.

🌱 Every arch must respond to the geometry of the greenhouse and the forces acting on the structure.

🛠️ Every reinforcement is introduced where calculations identify a structural demand.

🧱 Every profile used to secure the plastic must follow the covering system, withstand tension and maintain continuity throughout the envelope.

⚙️ Every window needs its own frame, opening angle, transmission mechanism and connection to the automation strategy.

None of these elements can be drawn independently.

Changing the distance between pillars affects the trusses. Changing the height modifies the volume, wind exposure and ventilation behaviour. Adding a screen, a heating system or a suspended installation introduces new loads. Moving a door, corridor or technical area can alter the structural layout and the daily workflow inside the greenhouse.

🧠 This is the real work behind a professional greenhouse project: converting agronomic, operational and climatic requirements into a structure that can be manufactured, transported, assembled and operated reliably.

🎥 The video shows the result.

📄 The drawings contain the reasoning that made it possible.

For companies involved in seed research, plant breeding or professional horticulture, the quality of the structure begins long before the first steel component reaches the site. It begins when the engineering team understands how every element must interact with the complete project.

A greenhouse is built twice.

Why can a greenhouse show normal climate readings while some areas remain too hot, too cold or permanently wet?

This is a common problem in protected cultivation.

Warm air accumulates in the upper part of the greenhouse, cooler air stays near the crop and humidity becomes trapped in areas with poor circulation. The climate computer may display an acceptable average, although the plants are growing under very different conditions depending on their location.

These differences affect transpiration, nutrient uptake, calcium movement, disease risk and crop uniformity. They also increase energy costs because heating and cooling systems keep working without correcting the original problem.

A well-designed active climate system combines vertical fans, upper air jets, diffusers, extraction units and sensors located at different heights and zones.

The fans break thermal stratification. The jets distribute air through the greenhouse. The extraction units remove saturated air. The climate computer activates each system according to the temperature and humidity detected around the crop.

This creates a more homogeneous microclimate, reduces condensation and allows the greenhouse to operate efficiently even when the thermal screens remain closed.

What is behind many of the wet, hot and underperforming areas inside a greenhouse?

Poor air distribution.

Before increasing heating or cooling capacity, it is worth studying how air is actually moving through the structure.

Every structural element inside a greenhouse casts a shadow.

In projects where natural light is a limiting production factor, the choice of the structural profile can influence how much solar radiation reaches the crop and how uniformly it is distributed throughout the growing area.

This is where the oval tube offers a significant technical advantage.

Its geometry provides greater rigidity and more efficient load distribution than conventional round profiles. It can withstand demanding wind, snow and crop loads with lower deflection, giving the engineering team greater flexibility when defining the structure.

Depending on the project calculations and local regulations, this additional strength can allow wider spacing between pillars and fewer secondary reinforcements.

The result is a cleaner internal structure, with fewer elements interrupting the passage of natural light and casting shadows over the crop.

This can be especially valuable in crops and locations where radiation is a limiting factor. Greater access to natural light supports photosynthetic activity, crop uniformity and production potential without increasing energy consumption.

The oval geometry also minimizes the projected shadow of the arches. Combined with a Gothic roof design, it can provide wider spans, greater gutter height and more internal volume, improving air movement and climatic stability around the plants.

Its steeper roof angle also facilitates condensation drainage towards the collection points, reducing water accumulation above the growing area.

Choosing an oval tube is therefore a complete engineering decision. It affects structural resistance, load distribution, natural light transmission, internal volume, ventilation, condensation management and assembly efficiency.

Are you planning a greenhouse project and want to understand how an oval-tube structure could improve its performance?

Contact our team to request technical information about its rigidity, load-bearing capacity and resistance under demanding conditions.

We can also study how the configuration could reduce structural shading and increase the amount of natural light reaching your crop.

Join us for a walk through one of the greenhouse projects built by J. Huete Greenhouses in Southeastern Europe.

This large-volume greenhouse was designed for the professional production of high-quality cherry tomatoes using hydroponic gutters and substrate bags.

The crop is supported on an inverted U-shaped gutter with a resistant grid. This keeps the substrate bags separated from surfaces that may accumulate moisture or change temperature, helping create more stable conditions around the roots.

The greenhouse structure, internal volume, climate systems and hydroponic layout were developed as one complete production solution. Every technical decision supports the same objective: giving the crop the conditions required for uniform growth, premium quality and very high production potential.

Today, this is one of the most important facilities operated by our client, a major agricultural company.
