CFGET Greenhouse Structure
Greenhouse structures evolved from arch and peaked roofs to meet crop and climate needs, improving efficiency and control.
🌱 Venlo Greenhouse
The Venlo Greenhouse is one of the most widely used modern glass greenhouses worldwide. Originating from the Netherlands, it has become the preferred choice for high-efficiency agriculture and commercial crop production due to its modular multi-span structure and advanced climate control capabilities.
This greenhouse features a lightweight galvanized steel frame with a high-transparency glass or polycarbonate covering, maximizing natural light utilization to enhance crop yields. Its multi-span design provides large-scale continuous growing space, and it can be integrated with automated ventilation, shading, irrigation, and climate control systems, making it a core solution for smart greenhouse technology.
Venlo greenhouses are widely used for vegetable cultivation, flower production, high-value crop farming, and research facilities, especially in regions with limited sunlight, variable climates, or high-tech agricultural demands.
Structural Advantages
✅ High Light Transmission for Optimized Crop Growth
✅ Modular Design for Large-scale Cultivation
✅ Compatible with Smart Systems for Precision Agriculture
✅ Strong and Durable Structure with High Wind & Snow Resistance
💡CFGET
The Venlo Greenhouse originates from Dutch greenhouse engineering and is one of the most widely used modern glass greenhouse structures. Its pointed roof design typically comes in 3.2-meter or 4-meter standard sizes, with each span generally consisting of 3 to 4 small peaks, ensuring high structural stability and uniform light distribution.
This structure is not only the industry standard for glass greenhouses, but it can also be adapted with plastic film (PE/PO), polycarbonate panels (PC), or glass, making it suitable for various climate conditions and crop production needs. Its modular, multi-span design makes it one of the most popular greenhouse types in modern agriculture.
The Venlo greenhouse can be equipped with automated ventilation, climate control, irrigation, and shading systems, enabling fully automated and intelligent farming operations. When complete smart greenhouse management is required, glass greenhouses remain the preferred investment choice. Their exceptional light transmission, strong structural stability, and long-term economic benefits make them ideal for high-tech agricultural production.

✅ 10 Simple FAQ for Venlo Greenhouses
A Venlo greenhouse is a high-roof glass or poly structure originally from the Netherlands. It has multiple roof vents and allows great light and ventilation.
Because the Venlo design gives strong structure, full light, and good air flow. It is built for large scale crop production and works in many climates.
The main frame is galvanized steel or aluminum. The cover is tempered glass or high quality polycarbonate. Ventilation and truss systems are built in.
Because of the high roof height and long bays, the Venlo structure lets more daylight enter and provides space for warm air to rise. Roof vents help remove heat and manage climate.
Yes. The strong structure of a Venlo greenhouse is designed to handle wind, snow and rain. It is reliable in many geographical zones when built correctly.
Vegetables, flowers, fruits, specialty crops and seedlings all work well. The high-roof and glass allow strong plant growth and quality.
Time depends on size, material, systems and site conditions. In general, from design to installation may take several weeks to a few months.
• Know your land size & shape.
• Check local weather: wind speed, snow load, sun hours.
• Define crop type and production goals.
• Set budget and required systems: irrigation, climate control, glazing.
Cost varies with size, glazing (glass vs polycarbonate), automation level and location. A Venlo greenhouse offers high yield potential and good ROI when crops and systems match correctly.
The steel or aluminum structure can last many years. Glass glazing lasts long when maintained; polycarbonate options may need replacement earlier. Regular checks of vents, gutters, glazing and systems keep it performing well.
