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 metre bay widths, 4.0 metre section lengths, with 3.0 metre post heights to maximise structural efficiency and space utilisation.

One gable end had to be attached to the gable end of a lower existing glasshouse of 2.70 metre 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 optimise 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.
