Greenhouse

The present work is an overview of greenhouse construction and some of the important factors on greenhouses such as the essentials for greenhouse structure construction, the functional requirements for greenhouse structures, the material requirements and quality of such materials, the different loads that greenhouses may be exposed to and how they can be taken care of during the planning and design stages. These factors affect the construction of greenhouses country wide and thus some articles have been written concerning construction of farm structures including the green houses. An example of such documents is the FAO Rural structures in the tropics. This review is expected to give adequate information on greenhouses regarding their construction and other factors influencing construction.
