Protect your greenhouse from water damage

Practical tips to reduce the risk

Stormy weather and heavy rainfall are happening more often, sometimes producing more water than your drainage systems can handle. This can lead to water damage in your greenhouse. How can you reduce the risk and ensure your greenhouse stays protected?

When gutters or drainage systems overflow, water finds other ways to enter your greenhouse. It might flow through steel gutters due to lack of capacity, leak from aluminum gutters, or enter through broken glass panes. Water can also seep in from the ground if ditches, canals, or watercourses are overwhelmed. Besides direct damage to your crops, cold water can cause plant diseases.
