Purlin Brackets (Cross-Connectors)
Purlin Brackets, also known as Cross Connectors, are particularly useful in overhead greenhouse or hoop house rail applications that simplify the installation process saving both time and money. Instead of drilling and bolting to make connections, Purlin Brackets create a non-invasive rail and pipe connection. They firmly latch the pipe together which allows the rails to hold tightly together resulting in a safe and secure overhead frame. Comprised of high-quality galvanized steel, the Purlin Brackets boast a long life expectancy due to the material’s resistance to mechanical damage, corrosion, and rust making it a suitable hardware component for any outdoor structure requiring secure connections.
Building any greenhouse or hoop house begins with setting up the layout and frame. Measurements can be taken for the exact dimensions for the height of the greenhouse once the ground pipe layout is designed. After the ground pipes are driven into their appropriate points, hoop pipes are raised to create the ideal arch based on the width of the greenhouse. At this stage, the only support the hoop pipes have stem from the bottom of the hoop ends. It is critical at this point to add strength to the frame, which the expertly designed Purlin Brackets provide. The amount of Purlin Brackets necessary for the structure will depend on factors including the overall size of the greenhouse, as well as environmental factors like wind and snow, in which case the more that are installed the stronger the structure will be as it battles the elements for all year crop yields.
