The new greenhouse model G-12’80 was developed by the ININSA I+D+I Department, and has been created in response to our customers upon request for a model with crop greater volume (better thermal inertia) and a larger working space by the crop area to facilitate their crop labors.

This new G-12’80 model differs from the traditional G-9’60 model in the following aspects:
- Increased work space (lines of pillars placed each 12’80m instead of 9’60m).
- Increased brightness (less structural shadows on the crop, less pillars and gutters lines/sqm).
- Increased indoor air volume (ridge at 3’40 m vs 2’60m in G-9’60).
- Better climate control.
- Better thermal inertia (greater energy savings).

The G-12’80 greenhouse is available in 2 different models, depending on weather conditions at the building site (wind and snow load) and the crop load required:
- For moderate climates (without snow load) with inclined side walls (G-12’80×3).
- For more strong climates (with snow load): with reinforced crop trusses for crop load “M” type or “W” type (G-12’80×2’50-RW / RM).
In the standard model with inclined side walls, the arches and pillars are placed every 3 m in all gutter lines (sidelines and in the central lines). This model is designed equipped with a diagonal posts placed by the outside part of both side walls in front of each side pillar, which are reinforcing the strength of the structure against the wind loads. Despite having inclined side walls, no space is lost for the cultivation because crop lines can be placed in the clearance between the diagonal-post and the vertical pillar.

The reinforced model (G-12’80×2’5-RW / RM) is designed for more demanding climates, and differs from the standard G-12’80×3 model in 3 points: the arches are placed every 2’50m instead of 3m, the pillars are placed every 2’50m instead of 3m (all lines, laterals and centrals), and reinforced crop trusses (“W” type or “M” type, depending of both snow and crop loads), being able to be placed every 5m or every 2’50m according to the project requirements.

As for the zenithal windows, it can be equipped with single super-zenith ventilation (1 side) or double butterfly ventilation (at 2 sides).
As for the perimeter ventilations, coverings and other equipment, the G-12’80 Gothic model can be supplied with the same equipment as described for the multi-span curved/gothic roof models.
