Greenhouse Drainage

Plant Nursery Drainage

Trench or channel drains can be beneficial both inside and outside of greenhouses. Although they have a more humid environment, too much water in a greenhouse can cause pooling water and increase the potential for botanical diseases. Within the structure, sloped trench drains help to keep the floors safer while allowing excess water to properly drain.

Outside of the greenhouse, rain and surface water must be effectively controlled to reduce the potential for flooding and erosion.

Considerations

  • Going With The Flow
    Be aware of the natural flow of stormwater runoff. Try to work with the landscape while ensuring that it is effectively diverted to avoid structural damage.
  • The Bigger They Are
    With large surface areas such as greenhouse roofs, driveways and parking lots, keep in mind how much rain will need to be diverted. Rainfall that would have soaked into the soil will need to be routed away from your structure.
  • Inside Drainage
    Installing trench drains is an effective way to control water runoff and keep the floors safer for your staff, customers and yourself. There are several alternative solutions based upon the size of your greenhouse.
