Greenhouse knockdown in Merauke

Abstract

The farming method in Merauke Papua is conventional, therefore production is not maximized throughout the year. The purpose of this study was to build a household scale greenhouse that could be assembled. This research was an experimental and Action Research; the research phase including Knockdown greenhouse design, made greenhouses, greenhouse tested (transporting, assembling and installing and clearing). The results of the knockdown greenhouse structure research used a combination of iron pipe and hollow iron; the application was on the column pole/column using a 3-inch diameter iron pipe while for the roof and wall frame using 4 cm hollow iron 3 mm thickness. for foundations used pedestal/local foundations with a total of 18 foundations with dimensions of 27,000 m3 (30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm). The knockdown greenhouse roof consists of 2, namely; 1). The rooftop used the used bottle roof cover material, 2). The lower roof used the Paranet/insect screen roof cover material. The installation and dismantling of the knockdown Greenhouse take + 2 hours 30 minutes, with time division: 1). + 45.40 minutes installer for greenhouse structure; 2). Thirty-five minutes installation of roof cover (used bottles) and; 3). Fifty minutes installation of the insect screen.
