In contrast to the overhead shade system, the hanging shade system is located below the structure of the greenhouse. It consists of movable shade fabrics or slats that hang from above and can be raised or lowered as required. For more flexibility in adjusting the shade height in greenhouses with variable height or mobile structures. 

The hanging shade system usually offers more flexibility as you can adjust the shading elements depending on the current light and climate conditions in the greenhouse. The shade system can be more effective at regulating heat and humidity as it can be more easily adjusted to different conditions to create an optimal environment for the plants.

  • Energy saving
  • Perfect control of solar radiation
  • Climate control
  • Optimal day/night ratio for the best plant growth possible
  • Darkening and restriction of light emission
  • EWA electric drives have up to 2100 Nm of power: fewer drives for a large area: up to 10,000 m2 of shading with one drive – reduced costs and installation work as well as increased light incidence (reduced shadowing), thus increasing production
  • Synchronized operation of Lock EWA electric drives available
  • Lock coupling portfolio suitable for all applications
  • Design and calculation by Lock team of experts
