You’ll need to keep some of your heating up if you want to prevent the greenhouse from experiencing frost damage in winter.
Equipment maintenance
Put feeding units in clean water. Turn on pumps on a regular basis. Cover sorting lines with plastic and make sure suppliers conserve CHP units. Proper maintenance on all equipment keeps it ready to go.
Keep climate control hooked on
Keep climate regulating systems hooked on and adjust them to an empty greenhouse. The climate will be monitored and you’ll receive an alarm before frost damage occurs.
Prevent damage by vandalism
Always keep the impression that the greenhouse is still operational. Vacant structures are a magnet for burglars, vandals and drifters.

Remove dry wood and old crops. A spark may ignite the lot.
