Talking about greenhouses, this is not something unfamiliar in the world of gardening, especially if you have a spacious garden and are growing plants that require special attention. In Indonesia, the term "greenhouse" is often referred to as "rumah kaca."
The use of a greenhouse has several fascinating and advantageous functions for farmers and gardeners, such as protecting plants from various external factors that can damage the condition of the plants. For example, extreme weather conditions, air pollution, strong winds, and pest attacks.
To get to know greenhouses better, here are some types you should be aware of!
1. Piggy Back Greenhouse
This type of greenhouse has a house-like shape and is equipped with air ventilation on the roof. The Piggy Back greenhouse is also known as the tropical greenhouse because it is more commonly used in tropical regions. Typically, this type of greenhouse is chosen to protect ornamental plants and flowers.
2. Tunnel Greenhouse
One of the types of plants that are usually protected by tunnel greenhouses is hydroponic vegetables. This type of greenhouse has a curved or semi-circular dome-like shape. Usually, tunnel greenhouses are readily available in the market and can be assembled by the user. They are commonly found in sub-tropical regions.
3. Multispan Greenhouse

This type of greenhouse combines the features of both Piggy Back and Tunnel types. The structure of a multispan greenhouse is generally strong and cost-effective. It is often used by farmers with large-sized gardens.
Greenhouses, especially tunnel types, are widely available in the market, making them a convenient solution for farmers or gardeners who don't have the time or budget to build one themselves. However, if you want to get creative and have your dream greenhouse, you can build it yourself by preparing various necessary materials and items. These materials include ultraviolet plastic, shade nets, hammer and nails, ropes, and most importantly, the greenhouse support structure made of bamboo, wood, or PVC pipes.
In the construction process, there are four steps to follow: determining the greenhouse design tailored to the garden's size, designing the greenhouse frame from the walls to the roof, covering the frame with ultraviolet plastic and shade nets, and finally, finishing steps such as creating air ventilation, partitions, and moving the irrigation equipment.
