Tianjin galvanized steel pipes are widely used in plastic greenhouse applications today

In general, the frame of a greenhouse is regarded as an important part of its structure as it provides the strength to the whole construction and serves as a source for insulation. Choosing the appropriate material for a frame partially depends on the glazing choice, the shape of the greenhouse and the area you live in. In most cases, there are many factors to be considered before you would start your greenhouse construction project as follows：
1）Durability
2）Insulation
3）Affordability
4）Ease of setting up
5）Strength
6）Appearance (the last but not least)!

For many years, plastic greenhouse is considered to be a cost-effective greenhouse in applications. First of all, the material of your greenhouse will be subjected to quite a lot of extreme conditions. It may need to endure torrential rains, strong winds, or heavy snowfall. Besides what we have mentioned above, steel frames would be another important factor to be considered in your greenhouse construction project. In recent years, Tianjin galvanized steel pipe by virtue of its very good reputation and high quality, stand out from other competitors in greenhouse applications for a long time. For the one thing, galvanized steel pipe compared with other typical steel pipe coatings, such as specialized painting and powder coating, galvanization is much more labor-intensive, resulting in a higher initial cost for contractors. For the other thing, due to its durability and anti-corrosive properties, Tianjin galvanized steel pipe can be recycled and reused if you protect them well in use, which to some degree save a lot of money during the post maintenance work.

In addition, just like a solar greenhouse, a plastic greenhouse also needs sunlight to reach the plants so they can go through photosynthesis. This means that you would want as much sunlight as possible to go through your greenhouse walls. Transparency typically is not considered much of an issue when using clear fiberglass or glass panels but finding the right balance between transparency and thickness can be tricky if you’re using plastic sheets. However, even direct sunlight isn’t exactly favorable to all plastics since a lot of them can turn brittle with constant UV exposure. A tear on your greenhouse plastic can drastically reduce its effectivity in applications, so investing in a high-quality plastic sheet made with the appropriate material will save you from a lot of future headaches.
