Project Overview

This Nipomo, CA substrate strawberry project uses 25'6" wide hoop houses across a 700+ acre project site. The layout includes 6- and 7-row tabletop strawberry rows designed for organized production, irrigation access, and crop management inside the structures.

The project uses 32 ft wide, 5-layer co-extruded hoop-house plastic film. The 6 mil film includes infrared, anti-condensation, 65% diffusion, and 85% light transmission properties to support light management and crop protection inside the hoop houses.

The 33 ft arches were mechanically bent by Ferrari Metals, Inc., helping match the greenhouse structure to the plastic coverage requirements.

Why This Setup Works

Tabletop Row Layout

The 6- and 7-row tabletop layouts organize the strawberry crop for production access, irrigation, and crop management inside the hoop houses.

Film Performance

The 5-layer co-extruded film includes infrared, anti-condensation, 65% diffusion, and 85% light transmission properties.

Irrigation Support

The tabletop substrate system uses drip irrigation and water infrastructure to support consistent crop production across the site.

Custom-Bent Arches

The 33 ft arches were mechanically bent by Ferrari Metals, Inc. to match the hoop-house structure and film requirements.
