This article compares polyethylene film and polycarbonate panels, two of the most widely used greenhouse coverings in modern agriculture. Polyethylene film offers high light transmission, lower upfront cost, and flexibility, making it a popular choice for large-scale and budget greenhouse projects. Polycarbonate panels, on the other hand, provide excellent durability, thermal insulation, and long lifespan, performing well in harsher climates with snow or wind. The guide breaks down differences in light diffusion, insulation, installation, maintenance, and overall value to help growers choose the right material based on climate, crop type, and long-term goals.

This guide explains the essential types, materials, and cost considerations involved in building a commercial greenhouse. It compares structures such as single-span, multispan, Venlo glass, and polycarbonate greenhouses, outlining their advantages, applications, and performance. You will also learn about common covering materials—including PE film, PC panels, and glass—and how durability, insulation, and maintenance impact long-term value. The article breaks down major cost components such as frames, climate systems, and installation, while offering practical tips for selecting the most suitable greenhouse based on climate, crops, and budget. This is an essential reference for planning and investing in commercial greenhouse projects.

Multispan greenhouses are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for commercial agriculture due to their large unified structure, strong wind/snow resistance, and stable internal climate control. They deliver higher yields, lower cost per square meter, and efficient workflow compared to single-span designs. Ideal for vegetables, fruits, and specialty crops, these scalable systems support advanced irrigation, ventilation, and automation technologies. With greater land utilization and adaptability across climates, multispan greenhouses help growers achieve year-round production, better crop quality, and long-term profitability.

This article compares three common greenhouse shading screens: blackout, white, and aluminum, highlighting differences in light control, heat reflection, energy efficiency, microclimate management, and crop suitability. Blackout screens block nearly 100% of light, ideal for photoperiod-sensitive crops and flowers. White screens diffuse sunlight, promoting even growth for vegetables and fruiting crops. Aluminum screens reflect heat and light, reducing energy costs and maintaining optimal greenhouse temperatures. By understanding the properties and applications of each screen type, growers can make informed decisions to optimize crop performance, energy use, and greenhouse climate management.

Photoperiod-sensitive crops rely on precise light and dark cycles to trigger flowering and development. Blackout shading screens — dense, opaque curtains used inside greenhouses — offer growers the ability to simulate long nights or controlled day lengths by blocking nearly all natural and artificial light. This level of control enables year-round production of ornamental and other photoperiod-sensitive crops, improved uniformity in flowering, better scheduling for market demand, and enhanced energy efficiency and microclimate regulation. Proper installation, sealing, and timing are critical to prevent light leaks that could disrupt plant cycles.

Aluminum shading screens play a vital role in modern greenhouse cultivation by improving climate control and crop protection. These screens reflect excessive sunlight and reduce heat buildup, keeping greenhouse temperatures stable even in strong sunlight. As a result, plants avoid stress and maintain healthy growth. In addition, their high durability, low maintenance and energy-saving properties make them an efficient long-term investment, reducing greenhouse energy costs and boosting overall yield. For growers seeking reliable, high-performance shading, aluminum screens offer a smart solution to balance light, temperature and crop health.

IntroductionCentral Asia is entering a decisive phase in modernizing its agricultural production. As governments prioritize food security, and private investors expand their controlled-environment operations, demand for professional, engineered, climate-resilient greenhouses is rising sharply across

This artiel offers a detailed comparison of the three main types of external greenhouse shading screens — white, black-white, and aluminum. It explains how each material affects light diffusion, heat reflection, shading strength, and energy efficiency. The guide outlines the ideal screen type based on climate, crop type, and budget. White screens offer gentle shading and reflect heat, ideal for vegetables and seedlings in warm climates. Black-white screens balance shading and cooling for leafy crops or nurseries. Aluminum screens excel in intense sun and high-value crops, delivering maximum cooling, long-term energy savings, and durability.
