Cravo retractable roof houses have survived all 16 hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons

The 10 Steps to create a "Retractable Roof Production System"™ based on your Climate and Crop Requirements

Step 1: Decide if stationary or retractable insect net is required under the retractable roof

Step 2: Choose the house model

A-Frame, Rafter, X-Frame or Flat Roof

Step 3: Decide whether one retractable roof layer is sufficient or if two retractable layers are justified to provide optimum control during summer and winter.

Step 4: Decide how to ventilate a peaked roof house during rain conditions

Step 5: Guidelines for creating the layout for the retractable roof house or automatic retractable field /orchard cover

Step 6: Decide if additional climate control is required:

a. High pressure fog or low pressure mist
b. Retractable interior curtain systems for cooling, heat retention, insect control or blackout
c. Bird net
d. Supplemental heat or light

Step 7: Choose the wall design for each of the 4 walls

a. Choose wall covering: Stationary insect net, white cooling covering or clear greenhouse covering
b. Is white or clear wall covering going to be stationary or installed on a motorized roll up curtain?
c. Will insect net be installed over the roll up curtain opening?
d. Will roll up curtain extend down to the ground or to a kneewall?

Step 8: Decide if crops will be grown in soil or in containers

Step 9: Determine the optimal plant density

Step 10: Decide if the climate control computer that will automate control of the roof,

walls and misting sytem will also control internal growing systems like

irrigation, fertigation and heat
