Foldable Protective Cover: Shielding Crops from Weather Effects

 The protective cover can be permanently installed in the field and can be opened whenever needed to protect crops. The environment plays a crucial role in the growth of crops. If they are constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions, it can result in the farmer's hard work going to waste. A company in the United Kingdom has designed a crop protection cover that can be installed in fields for a long period of time. It can be opened and closed as needed to shield the crops from adverse weather, making it both flexible and durable. This ensures that the plants are protected from any negative impacts caused by severe weather. The protective cover is constructed by connecting multiple wooden panels with stainless steel screws to form a unique geometric frame. The covering layer is made of transparent mesh film to allow for photosynthesis of crops while protecting them from insects and birds, minimizing natural threats during the growth period. When not in use, the cover can be folded...
