What is the difference between a Z275 galvanised structure and a treated wood structure for a greenhouse?

Z275 galvanised steel lasts 15 to 20 years without specific maintenance and withstands the saline humidity of the Souss-Massa coast. Treated wood (autoclave class IV) costs 30 to 40% less and offers 8 to 12 years with maintenance. Z275 is recommended for coastal areas (Agadir, Chtouka), wood suits inland areas (Taroudant, Houara).

Does Elman Ajdir build greenhouse structures in Houara, Chtouka Ait Baha and Ait Amira?

Yes. Based in Ait Amira, Elman Ajdir operates throughout the Souss-Massa region, including Houara, Chtouka Ait Baha, Agadir, Taroudant, Tiznit, Biougra and Inezgane. We regularly build galvanised and wood structures for all greenhouse types.

Do you provide technical studies and plans before construction?

Yes. Elman Ajdir provides a complete technical study before any construction: site plan, structural load calculations for Souss-Massa wind conditions (80 to 100 km/h coastal), foundation sizing and material recommendations. This study is included in the global quote.

OUR EXPERTISE

Structures engineered for the Souss-Massa climate

The structure is the backbone of any greenhouse: if poorly dimensioned or of poor quality, it dooms the entire project. At Elman Ajdir, every structure is calculated according to the dominant wind (Chergui), the area to be covered and the intended crop type.

For the coastal zones of Agadir and Chtouka, we systematically recommend Z275 galvanised steel, four times more resistant to salt corrosion than the minimum standard. For inland areas such as Taroudant and Houara, Z200 galvanised steel or treated wood offers excellent value for money.

Why Z275 in Agadir and Chtouka?

The proximity of the Atlantic Ocean and salt-laden sea mist accelerate corrosion in metal structures. The Z275 coating (275 g/m² of zinc) offers 3 to 4 times greater corrosion protection than standard Z80 and guarantees a 15 to 20-year service life in coastal areas.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions Greenhouse Structure Construction

Elman Ajdir, specialist in galvanised steel and treated wood greenhouse construction based in Ait Amira (Souss-Massa), answers the most common questions from growers in the region.

What is the difference between Z275 galvanised and treated wood structure for a greenhouse?+

The Z275 galvanised structure (275 g/m² zinc) lasts 15 to 20 years without specific maintenance and withstands the salt humidity of the Souss-Massa coast. Class IV autoclave treated wood costs 30–40% less and has a lifespan of 8 to 12 years with maintenance. Z275 is recommended for coastal zones (Agadir, Chtouka); wood suits inland areas (Taroudant, Houara).

What does a Z275 galvanised structure cost for a 1,000 m² greenhouse?+

The cost of a Z275 galvanised structure for 1,000 m² ranges from 35,000 to 80,000 MAD depending on the type (tunnel, Canarian, multi-span) and profile thickness. This includes supply of profiles fabricated in our Ait Amira workshop, on-site transport and full installation by our technical team.

How long does a Z275 structure last in the coastal Souss-Massa zone?+

With minimal maintenance (annual inspection, treatment of cut points), a Z275 structure lasts 15 to 20 years in the Souss-Massa coastal zone and can exceed 25 years inland. Elman Ajdir provides a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects and premature corrosion on all its constructions.

Can you build a greenhouse on sloped or irregular land?+

Yes. Elman Ajdir manufactures custom structures suited to sloped land (up to 5%) and irregular-shaped plots. A precise topographic survey is carried out during the free technical visit from Ait Amira or anywhere in the Souss-Massa region.
