As we transition into the fall season, it’s time to start thinking about fortifying your greenhouses to withstand the unpredictable weather challenges that lie ahead. The changing season brings with it the potential for torn poly film, increased heating costs, and the need for greater energy efficiency. At Adapt8, we’re here to help you address these concerns and ensure the continued success of your greenhouse operations.

Protection for Your Plants
If you have experienced torn poly film due to strong winds and heavy snowfall, it’s time to make the switch to Solexx greenhouse covering. Solexx offers unparalleled durability and protection, making it the ideal choice for safeguarding your crops against the elements and strengthening your greenhouse.

Energy Efficiency Savings
Now more than ever, energy costs are a significant expense in greenhouse operations… especially during the winter months. With Solexx, you can expect an impressive 33% increase in efficiency compared to traditional options like polycarbonate and blown poly. These efficiency gains translate into substantial savings over the lifespan of the material.

Small Changes, Big Impact

We understand that time and budget constraints might not permit a full-scale greenhouse overhaul this fall. However, even implementing minor “band-aid solutions” with Solexx can significantly enhance your operations.

Consider these small but effective greenhouse improvements:

Designate a primary heated greenhouse
Retrofit one bay or unit and make that your main heated greenhouse. This targeted approach ensures efficient heating where it matters most, allowing you to allocate resources effectively.

Enhance light distribution with improved endwalls
Upgrade your endwalls to improve light distribution and enhance photosynthesis for plants in the corners of your greenhouse. This small change can lead to healthier, more productive crops.

Shore up leaky top vents
Address any issues with leaky top vents to prevent heat loss and maintain a controlled environment. A simple fix can go a long way in optimizing temperature and humidity conditions.
