More than 200 agriculturist have already reported damage to the insurance ship’s company , including four agriculturalist with ( partly ) collapsed greenhouses .

relate the latter , it received a lot of attention yesterday . The agriculturalist , at least three ornamental growers and a strawberry growers , are all based in the Westland neighborhood . On top of that , the fire department called out to apot plant grower , also in Westland . Moreover , we also hear about severe damage at a grower in Drenthe ( Northeast part of the Netherlands ) .

Inside the greenhouse of Lievaart Freesia

Na hevige sneeuwval is een groot gedeelte van onze kas ingestort . Vandaag is er met world en macht gewerkt om de rest te redden . Noodgevel plaatsen , kachels plaatsen etc etc . Geweldig wat er in korte tijd geregeld wordt . Film by@martijnknoppert@WestlandersNu@wosmediapic.twitter.com/SxWXAF53P4

Collapsed greenhousesFreesia grower Peter Lievaart from Naaldwijk saw his greenhouse crash . The greenhouse of just about 12,000 m2 was slightly lower than the one next to it , so snow that would otherwise have mishandle off rear on this side . Until there was a meter of snow on top , the structure ' snap ' . Like domino the rest followed . At the Dutch broadcast WOS he tell his level and as you could see , the damage is extended .

At orchid grower Sanfiero in De Lier , exactly the same affair happen . In the same item , in the picture above , we see grower Lennart Stolze between his cymbid . Especially with the coming days , with a lot of frost , he fears for his harvest .

The damage at orchid grower Levoplant in Honselersdijk was also due to the snow . The wind caused it to tilt , so that the blow load became very heavy locally . Therefore , in the middle of the greenhouse the glass , with cloths and equipment , come down . A hole of about 175 meters , raiser Ron Fransen estimate . " This will not be repaired tomorrow , " he noted inthe Dutch newssheet ADyesterday . " I require it will take month rather than weeks to fixate everything . "

Finally , De Westlandse Aardbei in ’s - Gravenzande is left with considerable damage to the façade and the greenhouse roof . Some 300 to 400 square meters have derive down , estimates grower Jaco Huysman , who also spoke tothe newspaper AD .

Assessment of the damage and repairs"We have the situation jolly much under control , " inform Martijn van Winden , table service coordinator at KUBO . " The cases are fortunately not too bad , although there are four vitrine with larger damages . "

The images above are bizarre and terrible at the same time , specially for those involved . " Accumulation of snow on the deck caused character to burst , " says Martijn . " And greenhouses with acme differences due to dissimilar phase of construction proved to be more vulnerable . That ’s where blow could accumulate . "

He also see that the glass pack of cards broke , but the glass remain stuck in the screens . " Larger shard do cut through the screen , " he say .

Emergency walls and screen door repairsAt Peter Dekker Installations ( PDI ) it is therefore all hands on deck , allege Jeroen de Jonge . " Over the next few days there will be several covert repairs on the agenda . When it starts snowing , you in reality open your concealment to be able to melt the C off and , in the event of wrong , to be able to deliver your screen and your screen installing . It ’s then a affair of heating up the greenhouse as much as possible , but unfortunately that ’s not always potential and agriculturalist sometimes decide to close up the screen after all . It ’s still a matter of deciding what ’s potential , because if the snow falls through , you also damage your screen or your screen installment . "

The first priority , however , over the retiring few Clarence Day has been the company with major damage , where hand brake walls have been installed . " We are doing our uttermost best to save certain parts of the harvest by using an emergency rampart to keep out the cold . particularly with these temperature , this is necessary , because if the cold arrive in , the whole crop will die . " Together with squad KUBO , they therefore worked severely . " It ’s code red , you endeavor to help as many companies as potential in as little time as possible . "

fixture kitsAt the moment fix kit are mainly used . " Most agriculturalist have them already , " Martijn says . Repairing price is a challenge . " Glass is frozen and window frames are snowed in " , enunciate Marco de Zeeuw of Olsthoorn Greenhouse Projects .

Now , the society is still in the procedure of assesing the harm . " A few nursery have partially collapsed . Especially unheated greenhouses have a hard time with the accumulation of snow . Also , there are caseful of deoxyephedrine with tailfin in it . We are in the process of supporting these citizenry , but on-going projects are also continuing . "

large growers have the advantage of heating system capacitance . " There the impairment is limited , " articulate Martijn . " We have to empty the gutter of snow anyway before some damage can be repaired . "

FilmEmergency facade and film are used for this purpose . The latter they supply at Oerlemans Plastics . Henri van Hemert of that caller has remark that there is some extra demand . " There are some extra roll being ordered to varnish thing and there is also excess requirement for bubble wrap , but we do n’t supply that . "

The company supplies through dealer , although Henri mentions that growers are also hail to peck up the photographic film themselves or have it redeem by Oerlemans Plastics itself .

grower with modest greenhouses have started pulling in anti - abridgement picture . " That saves them heat cost now that it will remain quite cold for a while . However , the plants must not be too heavy , otherwise too much wet will remain in the greenhouse . " And demand is also coming from unwarmed greenhouse . " With anti - condensation film , they keep the stale out better . "

Beautiful and less beautiful picturesJust like yesterday on societal media lots of pictures . Beautiful and not so beautiful . Below a collection .

The above is the land of affair until February 9 , 11.30 .
