MARKET 11 · NORTH AMERICA
Mexico: two different countries for greenhouse design.
The Bajío is mild and high; the Gulf coast is hot, humid and hurricane-exposed. A quotation that treats “Mexico” as one market will be wrong for one of them.
Bajío projects run berries and vegetables at altitude with mild temperatures and strong sun; the house is often a tunnel or an 8–9.6 m multi-span with shade. Gulf projects run a hurricane case and a corrosion case at the same time, which pushes coating and anchors up the list.
| Region | Load case | Structure habit |
|---|---|---|
| Bajío (Guanajuato, Jalisco) | mild, high UV, hail | tunnel / 8–9.6 m, shade |
| Gulf (Veracruz, Tamaulipas) | hurricane wind, humidity | heavier case, hot-dip |
| Pacific coast | wind, salt | hot-dip, anchors |
| North | heat, dust, wind | vent, wide gutter |
Manzanillo handles Pacific containers, Veracruz and Altamira the Gulf. The port choice often follows the customer's existing logistics rather than the site, so confirm it before the packing plan is fixed.
A question that decides the order
“Which coast?” It changes the wind case, the coating and sometimes the whole structure. Ask it before the span is discussed.
