Raising a greenhouse is not a stopgap measure, but rather a strategic choice:

The greenhouse horticulture industry never stands still. Cultivation methods are becoming more intensive, installations more advanced, and climate control requirements increasingly stringent. Many greenhouses still function excellently technically, but run into one clear limitation: height. In that case, raising a greenhouse is not a stopgap measure, but rather a strategic choice. Anyone wondering why one would raise a greenhouse will soon discover that extra height contributes directly to yield, flexibility, and continuity.

When a greenhouse is raised, not only the volume changes, but also the behavior of light and air within the space. Due to the extra height, light can penetrate deeper into the crop, creating a more natural air circulation. Warm air has more room to rise, reducing temperature fluctuations and making the climate more stable. This has a direct positive effect on the growth and quality of the crop. At the same time, a higher greenhouse offers the opportunity to optimally apply modern systems such as suspended cultivation gutters and LED lighting, without compromising cultivation or technology.

An important advantage of greenhouse expansion is that you invest in improvements without your business having to shut down for a long time. This makes greenhouse expansion not only efficient but also financially attractive. Moreover, a more controllable climate often leads to lower energy consumption, as heating, ventilation, and shading can be used more effectively.

Therefore, more and more growers are consciously choosing to increase the height rather than expand. By making smart use of the existing structure, materials are saved, construction time is shortened, and CO₂ emissions are limited. Greenhouse elevation is thus not only an economic but also a sustainable choice that fits within future-oriented business practices.

At TC vd Dool BV, greenhouse raising is carried out using a proven method applied by us worldwide. With a pneumatic jacking system, the greenhouse is raised in a controlled and fully synchronous manner. Because all jacks are connected to each other via air hoses, the entire structure moves simultaneously and with extreme precision. Throughout the entire process, stability is monitored by means of temporary bracing, ensuring the safety of the greenhouse remains guaranteed.

The result is a raised greenhouse that exactly meets the desired dimensions, without damaging the existing structure. Moreover, every greenhouse extension is fully calculated and complies with applicable insurance standards. This means that your greenhouse not only becomes more spacious, but also demonstrably reliable and ready for the future.

With over ninety years of experience domestically and internationally, TC vd Dool BV possesses in-depth knowledge of all greenhouse types, from Venlo greenhouses to complex glasshouse horticulture projects. Engineering, production, and assembly are handled entirely in-house, ensuring seamless alignment between design and execution and enabling projects to be realized efficiently.

Raising a greenhouse is particularly interesting when you want to adapt your cultivation to modern systems, grow taller crops, or better regulate the climate. Greenhouse raising also offers a smart and future-proof solution if you want to expand without building something completely new.
