Importance of Shade in Greenhouses

Greenhouse shade structures help meet food needs by creating ideal environmental conditions for crop production. Getting the right shade structures for your greenhouses has many benefits that impact your plants, workers and business’s bottom line. Here are the top benefits of shaded greenhouses.

Protecting Farm Workers and Visitors

Fabric shade structures provide farm workers in gardens and greenhouses with shade to improve their working conditions. They create a cool, comfortable and pleasant spot for farm visitors or stakeholders to tour and learn about the different types of crops you are growing.

Leverage shade structures to expand shaded areas on your farm beyond what’s offered by trees and other buildings on the property. Increased shade protection minimizes the risk of heat exhaustion, boosting farm workers’ productivity and efficiency. The fabric shade structures for gardens and greenhouses from USA SHADE block up to 70% of precipitation to protect visitors and workers from rain and snow.

Maximizing Crop Production

Shade structures deflect the sun’s extreme heat, preventing extensive crop loss. Greenhouse structures increase crop production by allowing you to grow more per square foot than growing plants in an open field. The environmental control offered by greenhouses allows off-season and all-year-round crop production.

Hail shade structures prevent crop destruction from weather-related events such as hail and strong winds, which could lead to a loss in your farm’s profits.

Optimizing Weather Conditions

Greenhouse structures enable crop production in places with adverse climatic conditions, like harsh summers and intense winters. They optimize and regulate the indoor atmosphere to accelerate crop growth and reduce plant damage.

Investing in shade structures made of high-quality fabrics offers long-term protection against extreme weather conditions, such as prolonged sun exposure, storms and strong winds. USA SHADE’s greenhouse shade structures are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) mesh that allows quality air circulation, improving temperature control and ventilation.

Providing Marketing Space

Greenhouse shade systems offer space to brand your greenhouse or garden center with your company logo and contact information. We have a wide selection of fabric shade structures to ensure you can pick an option that matches your business’s branding and aesthetic preferences.

Branding your shade structures helps to create a cohesive outdoor environment and reinforces your business’s image in customer’s minds.

Achieving Sustainability

Achieve Sustainability

Shade systems can also help your farm or greenhouse achieve greater sustainability through temperature regulation. Blocking the sun can reduce cooling needs and associated energy consumption. Shade also reduces evaporation, which can contribute to greater water conservation.

Installing solar shade structures on your farm can help protect crops and plants from the sun’s scorching rays while harnessing sunlight to generate electricity. Solar energy reduces utility costs and maximizes your farm’s profitability.

Shade structures can help reduce negative impacts on the planet and drive savings over time.
