8.3 Pipe rail system maintenance
The pipe rail system on which the

runs should be checked on a regular basis. The
system should always satisfy the Horticulture Sector Guidelines for Pipe Rail Systems in
greenhouses. It is prohibited to use the
EasyKit
on a pipe rail system that does not satisfy
these guidelines.
Always ensure that the pipe rails are sufficiently supported at a maximum distance of 1.25 m
for 51 pipes and at 1 metre for 45 pipes, and that the supports are not distorted and the pipes
are properly secured (clamped). Moreover, the pipes on the concrete path should be secured
