Renovation and new construction go hand in hand at Hoogweg Peppers

Kilometers of Cultivation gutter turned and thousands of Tube rail supports walked out, spread over 5 greenhouses in 2 years

This fall and this winter we ran a total of 385 km of LG Cultivation gutter there, spread over 5 greenhouses. Two new construction greenhouses in September and October. Then two renovation greenhouses in December. And the last renovation greenhouse we completed in January 2026.

Of course, the Gutters were hung on the specially developed half Gutter brackets, designed at the time at the request of Hoogweg Paprika Nurseries and other bell pepper growers. Thanks to the open side of the bracket, man and machine can work unhindered all season, without hooks or brackets.

 

About this project

The past two years at Hoogweg Paprika Nurseries have been marked by expansion and development, with growth in Luttelgeest and Marknesse and the preparation of new locations on Baarloseweg. These were joined by two new greenhouses of 11 hectares each and the acquisition of an adjacent tomato greenhouse, together accounting for an additional 32 hectares.

After taking out the Tube rail supports in September, we turned the last Cultivation gutter in January. In the process we immediately got a glimpse of the greenhouse we did in December, nice to see how the bell pepper plants are looking now.
