What is greenhouse galvanized pipe?

In general, greenhouse galvanized pipe is used in the construction of greenhouse structures. These structures are made up of walls and roofs that utilize transparent materials in their construction. These transparent materials include glass or plastic. The use of this space is because many plants require a specific environment for growth. In this space, a controlled atmosphere of temperature, humidity, and water must be provided so that the plants can grow well.

Types of greenhouse pipes

Greenhouse pipes can be examined in terms of material and method of construction (greenhouse galvanized pipe), which we will discuss below.

Types of greenhouse pipes by material

As mentioned, pipes are primarily used in the structure of greenhouses. The covering of these pipes is made of plastic or glass. Various types of greenhouse pipes are used in the structure of this structure, which mainly include the following, and we will examine each of them below:

Aluminum

Galvanized steel

Wood

Plastic

Wooden pipe

Wooden pipe is one of the types of greenhouse pipe structures. Woods are less commonly used for constructing a greenhouse. Along with its ease of use, it should be noted that greenhouses are generally humid due to their enclosed environment and the presence of water. This causes the wood to deteriorate over time, losing its strength and effectiveness.

Aluminum pipe

Aluminum pipe does not rust or degrade due to its aluminum composition. However, the reason it is not chosen for greenhouse structures is that this material does not have high resistance. To use it, one must use additional tools that help increase its strength.

Galvanized pipe

Galvanized pipe can be a very suitable choice for constructing a greenhouse. Because it is made of steel, it has high resistance. Additionally, due to its galvanized nature, it is resistant to rust and corrosion, making it usable in the long term.

Types of greenhouse galvanized pipe by application

Light

Agricultural

Industrial

Heavy

Plastic pipe

PVC plastic pipe is inexpensive and lightweight. It also has a simple installation process and can be easily stacked. It does not have high resistance compared to other types, but using special bases can increase its strength.

As mentioned, one of the materials used in the construction of greenhouse pipes is plastic. One of the commonly used structures is the use of pipes made of PVC, which is covered with plastic. This structure does not have high resistance, as it is exposed to sunlight and deteriorates over time, losing its effectiveness.

Along with all these factors, each greenhouse structure is designed in a specific way to achieve maximum efficiency. For example, steel is very suitable and efficient for PVC layers.

Types of greenhouse galvanized pipe by construction method

Hot method: For the construction of this category of greenhouse galvanized pipes, which are made of steel, the steel will be coated and covered. The term "hot" comes from this method: because molten zinc is applied to iron or steel, the metal is galvanized in a hot state. The zinc coating does not rust or corrode, thus providing better protection for the greenhouse galvanized pipe. Consequently, this coating increases the thickness of the coated pipe and enhances its strength, benefiting consumers.

Cold method: This category of greenhouse galvanized pipes is produced using another method that creates less thickness for the steel pipe. The zinc is electrolyzed and coats the steel at a temperature of seventy degrees. It can be said that the lesser thickness in this method results in lower strength for cold galvanized greenhouse pipes. Of course, this also affects its price, which is generally lower than that of hot method pipes.

Advantages of greenhouse galvanized pipe

Galvanized coating

The presence of a galvanized coating increases the lifespan of the pipes and protects them against rust and corrosion. For example, PGCO pipes, due to their zinc coating, will rust more slowly. This aspect can also affect the reduction of costs for greenhouse galvanized pipes.

High quality

The production of pipes using the hot method ensures that this product has high quality.

No need for multiple accessories

The presence of multiple accessories allows consumers to easily install their pipes. This ease means that consumers do not incur specific costs for installing accessories, making the use of greenhouse galvanized pipes economical.

Features of greenhouse galvanized pipe:

Greenhouse galvanized pipe is a type of steel pipe that is coated with zinc. This zinc coating protects the pipe from corrosion and rust. Greenhouse galvanized pipes are very suitable for constructing greenhouses due to the following features:

High lifespan: Greenhouse galvanized pipes are highly resistant to corrosion and rust and can last for years without the need for repair or maintenance.

Lightweight: Greenhouse galvanized pipes are lighter than other materials such as wood or steel, making them easier to install and transport.

High resistance: Greenhouse galvanized pipes are very strong and can withstand the weight of snow, rain, and wind.

Reasonable price: Greenhouse galvanized pipes are more affordable compared to other materials such as aluminum or stainless steel.

Greenhouse galvanized pipes are produced in various diameters and thicknesses. The choice of the appropriate diameter and thickness of greenhouse galvanized pipes depends on various factors, including the size of the greenhouse, the type of greenhouse covering, and the climatic conditions of the area.

Using galvanized pipes in greenhouse environments

Galvanized pipes are one of the best options for constructing the skeleton and irrigation system of greenhouses due to their high resistance to corrosion and rust.

Advantages of using galvanized pipes in greenhouses:

High strength: Galvanized pipes have high strength and can be used to construct greenhouse structures with large spans.

Easy installation: Galvanized pipes are easily installed and do not require special expertise.

Cost-effectiveness: Despite a higher initial price, galvanized pipes are cost-effective in the long term due to their high lifespan and low maintenance needs.

Applications of galvanized pipes in greenhouses:

Constructing greenhouse skeletons: Galvanized pipes can be used to build the main skeleton of the greenhouse.

Irrigation system: Galvanized pipes are used to transport water and nutrients to plants in greenhouse irrigation systems.

Shelving: Galvanized pipes are used to create shelves for holding pots and plants.

Heating and ventilation systems: Galvanized pipes can be used to transport warm and cold air in greenhouse heating and ventilation systems.

Tips for using galvanized pipes in greenhouses:

Selecting the appropriate thickness: The thickness of galvanized pipes should be chosen based on the type of application and the climatic conditions of the area.

Protecting the pipes: If using galvanized pipes in acidic or alkaline environments, they should be protected with suitable coatings.

Using appropriate fittings: Suitable fittings should be used to connect galvanized pipes to each other.

The use of galvanized pipes in greenhouses has multiple advantages, including high resistance to corrosion and rust, long lifespan, high strength, easy installation, and cost-effectiveness.

Difference between light and heavy greenhouse galvanized pipes

Greenhouse galvanized pipes are produced in two types: light and heavy, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice of the appropriate type of pipe depends on various factors such as the type of greenhouse, climatic conditions, and your budget.

Main differences between light and heavy greenhouse galvanized pipes:

Thickness: Heavy galvanized pipes have greater thickness compared to light pipes. This increased thickness enhances the strength and resistance of the pipe to pressure and impact.

Weight: Heavy galvanized pipes have a greater weight due to their increased thickness. This makes their transport and installation more difficult.

Price: Heavy galvanized pipes are also more expensive due to their increased thickness.

Application: Light galvanized pipes are suitable for constructing small and temporary greenhouses. Heavy galvanized pipes are more suitable for building large and permanent greenhouses, especially in areas with high winds and heavy snowfall and rainfall.

Tips for selecting greenhouse galvanized pipes:

Before choosing the type of pipe, consider the type of greenhouse, climatic conditions, and your budget.

If you plan to build a small and temporary greenhouse, light galvanized pipes are suitable for you.

If you plan to build a large and permanent greenhouse, or live in an area with high winds and heavy snowfall and rainfall, choose heavy galvanized pipes.

Use appropriate fittings to connect galvanized pipes to each other.

Before using the pipes, ensure they are in good condition and free from any defects and corrosion.

Greenhouse pipes are produced in three sizes: light, medium, and heavy.

Typically, these pipes are produced in various sizes ranging from half an inch (size 2) to four inches (size 10) and in light and heavy weights.

They are produced in sizes 2-2.5-3-4-5-6.
