At Bridge Greenhouses, we are proud to be a trusted partner of Belgium-based greenhouse specialists, Vermako, offering their range of premium poly house structures here in the UK.

Vermako structures offer an innovative upgrade to traditional poly house designs, delivering improved ventilation, weather resistance, temperature control and light diffusion.

Vermako poly house greenhouses can be configured to meet the optimal growing conditions for a variety of crops, regardless of the climate and weather conditions.

So, who are Vermako and how can their structures benefit you?

Who are Vermako?

Vermako specialise in the design, production and installation of custom-made poly house greenhouses and industrial canopies.

Founded in 1989 in Belgium by a strawberry grower who began making his own greenhouse structures, Vermako has grown into a family business that continues to innovate to this day.

In addition, Vermako are dedicated to reducing the environmental footprint associated with their structures, utilising durable and sustainable materials that provide long-term reliability.

Working with greenhouse suppliers (such as Bridge Greenhouses) that share their goal of providing innovative horticultural structures, Vermako have been able to deliver their poly houses to leading commercial growers across the globe.

Their ‘design & build’ model means Vermako manages the entire project – from engineering and production to installation – offering growers a fully integrated solution.

So, what makes a Vermako so unique?

Innovative poly houses delivering better ventilation

Predominantly used to grow tomatoes, strawberries, leafy greens and more, traditional poly tunnels (also known as poly houses) are a simple and cost-effective structure that offers benefits of passive solar heating and protection from various weather conditions.

Due to their simplistic single section design, traditional poly tunnels can face challenges from poor ventilation and overheating during summer months.

However, Vermako has designed their poly house structures to meet this challenge with adjustable roof vents and open section builds that can be tailored for larger, more bespoke requirements.

The ability to fully open roof sections ensures optimal air circulation can be supplied along the full length of the greenhouse. These unique roof vent systems are attached to the gutter and can be opened with a tooth bar and drive tube.

This means you can better regulate humidity in your structure, flushing out any harmful pests and stagnant air that encourage plant decay or stunted growth.

Furthermore, the ventilation of Vermako structures can be automated!

Using a climate computer – available through Bridge Greenhouses’ leading partners – you can precisely control the opening of roof vents to maintain an optimal greenhouse environment, automatically adjusting to weather conditions and temperature fluctuations.

Crafted from top-grade materials

Vermako’s premium-quality plastic films go beyond standard polyethylene coverings, actively enhancing the internal climate of your poly greenhouse for improved growing conditions.

Depending on your insulation needs, Vermako structures can be built with either a single or double layer of polyethylene film. The double-layer system offers precise climate control and can reduce energy consumption by up to 28% in heated greenhouses.

Key benefits of Vermako single or double-layer film include:

• Anti-condensation – Prevents light loss by allowing condensation droplets to slide off the canopy
• Diffuse light – Delivers even light distribution so that plants are illuminated from all sides
• Double-layer insulation – Improves temperature regulation for more consistent growing conditions
• Weather resistance – Offers greater durability and crop protection compared to traditional glass in extreme weather
