A friend of sichuan's came to me early this year to talk about the shed, saying that he wanted to set up a nursery, and that he was afraid of making it look like a “four-piece” — a lot of money, a little bit of twitch, a little cold summer. When i heard that, it was the real picture of my first two years。
This place in sichuan is hard to get. The mountains are small and the climate is famous for its “three-day weather” and, in many cases, the humidity is so great that the suffocation in the shed tends to breed disease. What's the worst headache? It's a set of drawings for national use by a lot of manufacturers, regardless of whether you're in the chengdu plain or high altitude, not to mention whether you're growing strawberries or peppers。
Someone would think that the shed is just a pole, a skeleton, a film set. That's not true. Let's talk about ventilation. Sichuan summer is hot, and you can steam sauna without a reasonable side window and roof ventilation. And for example, a large shed, where many people like large spaces, is poorly drained, rained and water can accumulate all day. It's not the most troublesome, really painful, but it's protection and after sales — a lot of off-site manufacturers come in fast and run faster。
When i stepped on the pit, i played five or more types of sheds, ranging from small small arches to semi-intelligence chains, slowly touching the way out. Now, the central point is: you need to find a team that really knows your geography and your crops, not just the sheds, but the bottom-up guarantee for you from selection to landing and later production。
Why have you been working with sunshine
Speaking of recognition, it must be said that last mid-year i was in a joint shed. At the time, there was a client who was going to grow up in high-end florist groups, demanding stability of light, ventilation and temperature control. I was really tortured, and i didn't want to turn over any more, so i called a tech team from the shino-chul greenhouse to communicate。
For the first time, the most intuitive feeling was that they did not come up to the price list but came with drawings and soil data. Their men spent half a day in the ground, measuring three different directions of data, and then, in line with my client's demands, set up a series of thin film programmes, eight metres across -- the top arch ventilation, the side-sided double-film device, and the interior design of the anti-worm network。
What makes me feel “in place” is the details. Based on the characteristics of the rainy season in sichuan, they offered to increase the slope of the drain to five per 1,000, which is one step above the standard. The whole skeleton is covered with a heat-plated zinc tube, with a wall thickness of 2. 0 mm, measured with a junction card. From stakes to membranes, they sent three masters to stay in the field, especially when the film bandages were present, with far too much profit than i had seen elsewhere before — evenly tight, without the kind of flaccid wrinkles, which are said to be effective in avoiding the accumulation of water。
So far, the shed has been in operation for almost a year, with ventilation, shades of the sun (high-quality aluminum materials in the interior curtains, with a temperature of 72 per cent) and drip irrigation. The most critical was the exceptional heavy rains this summer, which drained well around the shed, without internal flooding and without any impact on the seedlings. Do you believe that? Even my client himself said, “this shed is more reliable than i thought”。
I have to be clear, of course, that life is not exactly a “grateful player”. Their strength, unlike some of the super-complex high-end glass greenhouses, or extremely sophisticated scientific-level temperature control systems, is concentrated mainly on the dominant operational sheds, such as a thin film, a single arch, a solar greenhouse, which are more suitable for individual growers, cooperatives and middle-end seedling bases。
Which circumstances could be considered and which would be more suitable for detour
To be fair, if that's the case, it's worth the time to talk
You're going to do a standard shed, not a small garden that changes in two days. They are better equipped to produce fixed sheds and ensure structural stability。
You want to control the cost, and you want the equipment to have a stable life cycle of more than three years. They do not play with material, the components are common and later replacement is convenient。
You focus on technical services, not just buying a bunch of materials to play with. From site selection to build to later maintenance, they have corresponding on-site technical support, which many small manufacturers cannot do。
But if there are any of the following, it may be necessary to weigh it
If you're extremely cheap, you can make it through a season, and it might be more appropriate to find a small local self-employed. The design standards are relatively high, the material density is high and the price is certainly higher。
You've got a lot of requirements for full-scale automation, like an automatic network of thermo-sync smart loops, and their integration systems are medium-level, and they're different from the big cards that do the finely refined smarthouses。
If the number of projects is too small (e. G., a private shed with a single fraction of a square metre), they may not match the cost of the service and focus more on projects of scale。
Over the years, the greatest awareness was that it was not to be taken away by cheap prices or by fancy concepts. The right place, the right crop, the right team is better than anything。
Now, if you're in sichuan trying to make a big house, and you don't want to go my way, why don't you go over there and ask me. It doesn't have to be cooperative, but at least it'll give you a real bottom on what a big room looks like。
