A greenhouse consists of a metal or plastic frame covered with translucent materials to maximize light penetration. Inside, artificial conditions (a microclimate) are created, resulting in increased plant productivity at minimal cost and in less time.
It protects the plants or crops inside from environmental damage such as frost, strong winds, hail, insect pests…
Therefore, we can grow crops in a greenhouse at any time of year and they will be much more productive.
What guidelines should I follow to place my greenhouse?
- Brightness: Sunlight is essential when growing plants indoors in a greenhouse. It must have a minimum of 6 hours of daylightKeep this in mind when placing the greenhouse and don't put it in a place with excessive shade, otherwise it will harm your crop.
- Temperature: The ideal temperature for a wide variety of crops ranges between 20º during the day and 7º at nightIf the temperature in the greenhouse is too high, we can open doors and windows to lower the temperature.
- Humidity: Most plants or crops need a relative humidity in the air of between 45% to 60%It is very important that the humidity is not too high because it would encourage the appearance of insect and fungal pests.
- Aeration: As we've already mentioned, we must consider the importance of windows and doors in lowering the indoor temperature and ensuring proper ventilation for the plants. We can install mosquito nets on doors and windows to prevent insects from entering. If opening doors or windows doesn't lower the temperature, we can install fans inside to help cool it down. During very cold periods, we can also install a heater or heat pump indoors.
What type of plants can I grow in a greenhouse?
Greenhouses are a very cost-effective and useful tool in our gardens or allotments. In a greenhouse, we can grow any type of crop , especially the more delicate ones.
It is used to protect seed germination and growth. In the garden, we will create seedbeds and cultivate crops out of their usual season. This will increase profitability and improve fruit quality.
In summary :
A greenhouse can be defined as an artificially enclosed, covered structure made of durable, mostly transparent materials, designed to protect plants from adverse weather conditions such as heavy snow, strong winds, storms, and humidity. The greenhouses manufactured by Grupo MSC possess qualities that allow them to be adapted to the most suitable climate for each type of crop. Our models are characterized by their quality, various ventilation options, and availability in different heights. The structures can be perfectly complemented by a variety of coverings, including plastic, mesh, panels, polycarbonate, and sheet metal. We can also adapt the greenhouse to the terrain and improve existing structures if necessary.
Examples of greenhouse models include:
Gothic Multi-ChapelSpecially designed for cold climates, its pointed Gothic arch provides 30% more zenith height compared to Romanesque arches.
K3 GreenhouseThis is a greenhouse design specifically intended for areas with warm climates and high relative humidity.
At Grupo MSC we have different greenhouse models and with staff who would provide advice on producing all types of crops:
from horticultural crops, seedbeds, ornamental plants, etc.
Our products are certified, guaranteeing the overall service and the quality of each type of greenhouse we offer, as they have been tested on all types of terrain and under extreme weather conditions. Thanks to our support department, we can provide comprehensive service, building robust structures capable of withstanding wind, rain, and heavy snow.
All the different types of greenhouses we manufacture are developed in a relatively short time . In addition, the main structure of all greenhouse models is hot-dip galvanized, which gives them maximum protection against possible oxidation from both the humid environment of the crop and the external environmental conditions.

Goodnight.
I need to build a greenhouse in the city of Ipiales – Nariño.
What are your thoughts on planting turf for a recreational and sports lawn?
We are working on a controlled environment project with automation using sensors for automatic humidity and temperature control.
To develop a productive farm with houses and a climate-controlled shed of 420 m2
In which country are they located? Would they work on international projects?
Hello, I have a greenhouse that is 1.45 x 1.45 meters and 1.95 meters high. I use it to protect my succulents from the cold nights and rain. My question is, at night, should I close the side windows (they have mesh) or leave them open? In the mornings, my succulents are sometimes wet. The greenhouse is green. Thank you.
