Building a greenhouse takes several month , but grow the acme of a nursery can be accomplish within a few weeks . This is what French tomato grower Eric Cescatti of Gie . Batanères , a fellow member of the Rougeline group , experient . Last winter , the column acme of his 4 - hectare nursery was increase from 3.5 meters to 5 meters . Jacco de Graaf explain how Dool France did the conjuring trick using a pneumatic jacking system to rear the facility in small increments - and how the nursery stave assisted in this process .

Looking at the photograph , one can immediately notice the divergence – or might actually opine they are looking at an entirely newfangled nursery . The nursery , antecedently 3.5 hectares with substrate mat on the ground , has undergo an almost unrecognisable shift . Thanks to the additional m and a half in stature , Gie . Batanères is ready for the future .
" Back around 2000 , nursery were n’t built as high as they are today . New varieties need more height , and growers choose growing on gutters so they can recirculate water system and make oeuvre in the greenhouses easier , " explains Jacco . But it goes beyond that . high glasshouse also add to air circulation under the gutters and to a more uniform climate . " Evaporating plants introduce wet into the air . With a high nursery volume , this wet can be distributed over more breeze . With the same bit of plants , the proportional humidness uprise much more lento . In short , a high nursery furnish a more consistent clime . An additional reward is that you need less ventilation , and also that forge like mildew have less fortune to thrive . "
It ’s not surprising that growers opt for increasingly higher greenhouses , and that the new greenhouses bet whole different from those of two decades ago . However , work up a unexampled greenhouse requires a mickle of money , fourth dimension , labor , and resource . Especially in this Clarence Shepard Day Jr. and age , all these divisor are crucial . Partly for this reason , T.C. van den Dool , the parent party of Dool France , has been active in put up greenhouses for many years . Jacco has been doing this in France in recent old age . " Here , there is also a peck of emphasis on sustainability and reuse , and recycle an subsist nursery is of course much more bionomical than building a new one . "
Another of import gunpoint is that it is much faster , resulting in less production time turn a loss . This also happen at Gie . Batanères . The facade have been renovated and extended with sandwich panel , making the nursery look new again . This job was fill in in 8 weeks . " This include raising the peak and supervene upon the doors with tall models , make access easier for certain machine . Furthermore , the onetime columns have been replaced with white - coated pillar . "
One striking aspect of the project is that the company ’s faculty participated in the job . This also chip in to the speed . " And it ’s good for both the faculty and the agriculturist that study can proceed continuous . " All in all , a singular labor , says Jacco . " We are very thankful to the owner of this greenhouse , Mr. Eric Cescatti , for his reliance in us . "
