Typical multi-span greenhouse structure is composed of posts, arcs, crop support bars, perlins and rain gutters, span width may vary according to application, typical span widths are 8 m, 9 m, 10 m and 12 m, greenhouse height may vary starting typically with 3 meters under gutters and 4.2 meters at the apex.

If evaporative cooling system is used the greenhouse length should not exceed 40 meters for efficient cooling, however, If fog cooling is used the length restriction to maximum 40 meters becomes invalid.

Mulispans greenhouses can be covered with polyethylene, fiberglass and polycarbonate or combination of covers depending on application and climate conditions, multi-span greenhouses can be designed to get equipped with the following systems according to design requirements: side vents, upper vents, cooling corridors, shading screen, grow lights, fogging, misting, heating system, etc.

Multi-spans can be divided into multiple crops zones where climate control is done for each zone independently.
