PolyGrow is developed for growers, farmers, investors and project developers who want to enter modern greenhouse farming with a practical, scalable and cost-effective structure.
A PolyGrow greenhouse is a poly-covered greenhouse system suitable for a wide variety of crops, climates and growing methods. It can be used as a simple and affordable starting point for protected cultivation, but it can also be equipped with advanced climate control, heating, cooling, irrigation, screens, automated crop systems and professional growing technology.
The strength of PolyGrow is its flexibility.
For farmers who want to start with full-soil production, PolyGrow offers a controlled environment for herbs, lettuces, leafy greens and other fresh crops. For more advanced organic production, the same greenhouse concept can be adapted for tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers and other high-value crops. For professional operations, PolyGrow can be equipped with automated lettuce systems, strawberry rack systems, irrigation dosing units, crop support systems and climate installations.
This makes PolyGrow suitable for many different market situations:
The PolyGrow concept typically starts at approximately 2,000 m². From there, the system can be scaled to 4,000 m², 8,000 m² and larger commercial sizes. For larger or more complex projects, we develop the greenhouse layout, crop strategy, climate concept and technical installation package project by project.
A PolyGrow greenhouse can be simple, but it does not need to be basic. Depending on the crop, climate and business model, the greenhouse can include heating, cooling, ventilation, insect protection, shading, screens, irrigation, fertigation, automation and crop-specific growing systems.
This is where our added value starts.
We do not only supply a greenhouse structure. We translate the crop, the climate, the local market and the available investment into a practical greenhouse solution. The result is a growing facility that is easier to manage, better protected against weather influences and more suitable for reliable year-round or seasonal production.
PolyGrow is designed for serious growers who want to start smart, expand step by step and build a profitable production system around the crop.
For projects larger than 8,000 m², or for crop-specific designs, we recommend contacting us directly so we can prepare the right technical and commercial concept.
| PolyGrow Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Entry Production | Full soil production for herbs, lettuces and basic protected cultivation. |
| Professional Growing | Climate-controlled production for organic vegetables and higher-value crops. |
| Advanced Systems | Automated lettuce systems, strawberry racks, irrigation, cooling and climate automation. |
A poly-covered greenhouse is often the most practical first step into professional protected cultivation. Compared with more capital-intensive greenhouse structures, a PolyGrow greenhouse offers a strong balance between investment level, crop protection, growing flexibility and future expansion.
For many farmers and investors, the main objective is not to build the most expensive greenhouse. The real objective is to create a reliable production environment where crops can grow with less weather risk, better water management, improved pest protection and more predictable harvest planning.
PolyGrow is designed around that principle.
The greenhouse structure creates a protected growing space, but the real performance comes from the complete system around it. Ventilation, shading, screens, irrigation, heating, cooling, crop layout and labour routing all influence the final production result. A successful greenhouse is therefore not only a structure. It is a controlled farming environment.
This makes PolyGrow especially suitable for regions where growers want to improve crop reliability, reduce open-field risk and produce closer to the market. The system can be used for seasonal production, extended-season production or more advanced year-round production, depending on the selected technical package.
PolyGrow can be configured from a simple protected cultivation structure into a complete professional growing facility. The final system package depends on the crop, local climate, production target and available investment.
PolyGrow can support a wide range of crops and growing methods. The system can start with simple full-soil cultivation and develop into a more advanced production model with crop-specific growing systems.
For starting growers, PolyGrow can be used for herbs, lettuces, leafy greens and basic vegetable crops. These crops often require a practical greenhouse setup with good ventilation, irrigation, shading and crop protection. This is a strong entry point for farmers who want to move from open-field production into protected cultivation.
For more advanced projects, PolyGrow can be configured for organic tomatoes, organic bell peppers, cucumbers and other higher-value vegetable crops. These crops require more attention to climate, irrigation, crop support, labour efficiency and disease prevention. In these cases, the greenhouse design must be developed around the crop strategy, not only around the building size.
PolyGrow can also be adapted for automated production systems. Lettuce systems, hydroponic production lines, strawberry racks and other crop systems can be integrated into the greenhouse concept. This creates opportunities for higher productivity per square meter, better labour planning and more consistent crop quality.
The correct crop choice depends on the local market, climate, labour availability, energy cost, water quality and sales channel. For that reason, every PolyGrow project should start with a practical review of crop requirements and market potential.

Every PolyGrow project is designed around the crop first. The structure, climate systems, irrigation, growing method and equipment are selected to create a practical and reliable production environment. This is where our engineering, crop knowledge and project experience create the real added value.
Every climate location requires a different greenhouse strategy. A PolyGrow greenhouse in a warm and dry region needs a different technical package than a PolyGrow greenhouse in a colder or more humid climate.
In warm climates, the focus is often on ventilation, shading, insect protection, evaporative cooling, fogging or other cooling methods. The objective is to reduce heat stress, protect the crop and maintain a stable growing environment during the most difficult hours of the day.
In colder climates, the focus may shift toward heating, energy screens, thermal control and winter production. In these situations, the greenhouse must be designed to maintain the required crop temperature while keeping energy consumption under control.
In humid climates, air movement, ventilation strategy and humidity control become more important. Too much humidity can increase disease pressure and reduce crop performance. A good greenhouse concept must therefore create the right balance between temperature, humidity, airflow and crop transpiration.
PolyGrow can be equipped with different levels of climate control. A simple project may only require manual or semi-automatic systems. A professional project may require automated climate control, irrigation control, fertigation, sensors and crop-specific climate strategies.
This technical flexibility is important. It allows the grower to start with the correct investment level while keeping the option open for future upgrades.
Tell us your crop, location and preferred greenhouse size. We can prepare a first project direction based on climate, crop requirements, investment level and the technical systems required for your production target.
PolyGrow projects typically start from 2,000 m² and can be scaled to 4,000 m², 8,000 m² and larger commercial greenhouse developments.
The images below show different examples of Dutch-designed poly-covered greenhouse systems. Each project can be adapted to the local climate, crop strategy, available budget and required level of technology.
PolyGrow is not limited to the greenhouse structure. The complete concept can include screens, heating, cooling, irrigation, fertigation, crop systems, automation, equipment, service buildings and post-harvest facilities.
This makes PolyGrow suitable for both starting protected cultivation projects and larger professional greenhouse operations.
