A netting enclosure kit comprises a skeleton configured to operate in a plurality of configurations between a first, partially expanded configuration and a second, fully expanded configuration, a netting enclosure comprising a plurality of panels configured to be joined together to enclose or hang from the skeleton in each of the plurality of configurations, a first webbing configured to connect to a first portion of the netting enclosure, a second webbing configured to connect to a second portion of the netting enclosure, and a fastener configured to attached to the first webbing and to the second webbing to form an openable and closeable seam.

A greenhouse screen strips of film material that are interconnected by a yarn system of transverse threads and longitudinal threads by means of knitting, warp-knitting or weaving process to form a continuous product, wherein at least some of the strips comprise a film material in the form of a single- or multilayer polyester film is disclosed. The film material has a transparency of at least 93.5% and is provided with at least a first anti-reflective coating or layer on a first side of the film material.

A greenhouse with integrated irrigation and environmental control system includes a main structure, an irrigation system, an environmental control system, a control module, and a protective sheet of netting. The main structure is enclosed by the protective sheet of netting. Further, the irrigation system and the environmental control system are mounted within the main structure. The environmental control system regulates the humidity in the main structure, as well as provides surveillance of the main structure. As such, the environmental control system includes a camera, a motion sensor, a humidity sensor, and a plurality of fans. The irrigation system provides plants and vegetation with the necessary hydration and nutrients. As such, the irrigation system includes a tubular sprinkler, an irrigation line, a plurality of storage tanks, and a pump.

Described herein is a pillar knitted crop netting comprising widely spaced knitted pillars and crop netting materials comprising a region(s) having such construction. Also described herein are crop nettings comprising yarns defining apertures to form the netting wherein said apertures have a plurality of sides formed by yarn sections and at least one of those yarn sections may be relatively slack when the netting is held taut in lengthwise and widthwise directions. The above nettings may have advantageous hail passage performance.

A self-watering portable greenhouse is disclosed having a tubular frame constructed of light-weight, water-tight tubular members which serves as a combined structural skeleton for external walls, a platform for plant containers, and a reservoir for liquid nutrients provided to plants in plant containers by self-watering through a wick connecting the reservoir and the plant containers.

The present invention relates to a non-arch-shaped rainproof water-collection greenhouse, characterized by: a matrix of upright galvanized steel pipe columns, with adjacent columns fixed by cables connected to their upper ends, forming cable grids. A square greenhouse film with support rods along its edges is installed onto these cable grids. A water-collecting funnel and collection bucket are mounted at the center of the square film. The weight of the collection bucket and rainwater causes the square film to sag into a conical shape. To prevent excessive sagging or tearing, sag-limiting ropes are attached from the top ends of the four steel pipe columns corresponding to the film's corners, supporting the film from below and suspending the funnel and bucket in midair, creating a smooth, controlled sag. This invention features a rational design, simple structure, and minimal steel usage.

The invention is directed to a ridge beam for use in a roof of a building and having an upper side and a lower side, wherein the ridge beam is comprised of an elongated middle section and two elongated side sections. The elongated middle section is provided with openings along its length such to fluidly connect an interior of the building with an exterior of the building. An elongated air permeable screen is present facing the upper side of the ridge beam and having two elongated sides which are connected to the two elongated side sections.
