Open roof greenhouses give a natural environment for plant growth when the outdoor weather conditions is suitable and an artificial environment when it’s too hot or chilly. Opening the roof over the plant life increases light intensity that may help control the growth habit, flowering and crop timing. It also reduces electricity costs as expensive fan cooling is not needed.
Several methods are used to open up the roof. Some manufacturers make a roof that opens by rolling up the solitary or double layer of flexible plastic-type material glazing that runs the length of the greenhouse bay. A small gear motor rotates 
a shaft that winds the plastic-type on to it like a window color. A light, second framework over the structure secures the plastic material from bellowing out during windy weather. Starting and closing the roof can be either manual or automatic. Each side of the roof can be managed independently for flexibility in cooling.
Gear Motor For Greenhouse Folding roof greenhouses work well in snowy climates as they can be tightly shut during cold weather. Most designs use regular vent hardware. Some have panels that hinge at the gutter and open upward. Opening is nearly 100%. Others have panels that are hinged at the ridge and one gutter and slide sideways on teflon bearings. Opening is about 85%. Most designs use rubber gasketing to seal the joints. Glazing could be glass, polycarbonate or film plastic material. Some manufacturers provide a movable gutter to gather rainwater when the roof is definitely partially open up. Wind sensors should be set up to close the roof in stormy climate. Movable shade is generally installed with the open roof design. It reduces the heat load by reflecting the suns rays back again out. The color curtain should be of a porous design to allow heat to escape. In northern climates a power blanket may also be installed to reduce heat loss through the winter.
These structures consist of a steel frame, flexible glazing and cable support. Woven UV stabilized polyethylene film produces a watertight glazing. Based on the cropping program, bracing of the framework could be external cables mounted on deadmen, internal compression braces or trusses with cable X bracing. Flat roof designs are used where there is small rain or snow. A-roof designs shed the rainfall and snow to an interior gutter system. Styles that may carry up to 35 lb/sq ft snow load and 100 mph wind loads can be found. The roof opens in sections by moving the leading edge of the curtain. One equipment motor will manage up to 50,000 sq ft of roof Heating is more challenging than in a conventional greenhouse because of the single layer plastic-type material and better infiltration through gaps and cracks in the seals.
