W.S Bentley Growers - Used Turnkey Glasshouse

Ebtech Glasshouse Systems Ltd successfully completed a turnkey project involving a used glasshouse covering 4,928 m² in North Yorkshire.

The structure was designed with 6.40 -meter bay widths, 4.0-meter section lengths, with 3.0-meter post heights to maximize structural efficiency and space utilization.

One gable end had to be attached to the gable end of a lower existing glasshouse of 2.70m post height, therefore glazing down was required to join the two houses.

An internal rainwater collection pipework system was installed underneath where the two glasshouses joined

The growing area is fully fitted with container benching and EBB & Flood trays, ensuring consistent and uniform water distribution.

To optimize growing conditions year-round, a Ludvig Svensson,  Harmony 7247FR thermal screen, driven by a Ridder drive-unit was installed, offering effective shading and temperature regulation.

Our sister company Ebtech Energy installed a piped hot water heating system throughout the glasshouse, feeding from an existing biomass boiler.
