01Area

What kind of work comes up in Yalova?

Yalova is a small province, but for us it combines three different types of work. Along Çınarcık, Armutlu and Termal there are holiday communities and villas; around Çiftlikköy, ornamental plant greenhouses are concentrated; and the center and industrial corridor have small-scale production facilities.

In the holiday areas, the slope of the land is the deciding factor. On plots built on slopes facing the Sea of Marmara, the garden boundary, entrance gate and wall-top railing often have to be resolved together with the level difference. On a sloping boundary, a fence or railing cannot continue horizontally; it either steps down or follows the slope. The two look different and require different fabrication — which is right depends on the angle of the slope and the condition of the wall.

The second issue is community rules. In holiday communities, additions to the facade and garden boundary are generally subject to management approval; color and height may be specified. After the site survey, we prepare the drawing in a form that can be submitted for approval. In addition, many communities restrict installation hours during the season; we build the schedule accordingly.

The third is greenhouse growing. Yalova is one of the country’s centers for ornamental plants, and the greenhouse demand from here differs from vegetable greenhouses. In potted production, floor load and internal air circulation gain importance, while hanging load is not as decisive as in vegetable growing. Knowing what will be grown from the start directly affects the choice of frame.

Demand profile

Yalova has three separate streams of demand. From holiday homes and villas along Çınarcık, Armutlu and Termal: entrance gates, wall-top railings, mesh panel fences and pergolas; from around Çiftlikköy: ornamental plant greenhouses; from the center and industrial corridor: small-scale steel structure and roof work.

The province is small, but its proximity to Istanbul makes planning easier; shipments via the gulf crossing can be made in a single trip. This makes Yalova a place where small-scale jobs are also viable — work that would need scale in distant provinces can fit into a single shipment here.

03Local conditions

What drives our decisions in Yalova?

Climate, ground, wind and access conditions directly change our decisions on sections, surface treatment and installation. This section explains what we do differently in this area, and why.

  1. 01

    Level differences on hillside plots

    On plots built on slopes facing the Sea of Marmara, the garden boundary, entrance gate and wall-top railing have to be resolved together with the level difference. On a sloping boundary, a fence or railing cannot continue horizontally: it either steps down or follows the slope. The two look different and require different fabrication; which is right depends on the angle of the slope and the condition of the top of the wall.

  2. 02

    Load distribution in ornamental plant greenhouses

    Yalova is one of the country’s centers for ornamental plants, and the greenhouse demand from here differs from vegetable greenhouses. In potted production, what matters is the load on the floor and air circulation; hanging load is secondary. Bench layout and walkways directly affect frame spacing; knowing what will be grown from the start is the shortest route to choosing the right frame.

  3. 03

    Approval and hour restrictions in holiday communities

    In holiday communities, additions to the facade and garden boundary are generally subject to management approval; color and height may be specified. During the season, installation hours are also restricted. After the site survey, we prepare the drawing in a form that can be submitted for approval and build the schedule around the community’s rules.

Situations we often encounter in this area

We don’t give client names, project names or dates; what we describe is the situation itself and how it was solved.

  • Step height on a sloping wall

    There is a detail often overlooked in stepped solutions: the step height. Too small, and the line looks like a saw blade; too large, and the triangular gaps under the panels become prominent. The right value is calculated from the angle of the slope and the panel length. We decide by showing it on a drawing, because when it is discussed as a number, it is hard to picture how it will look.

  • No place for the crane on the slope

    The most common sticking point on installation day on sloping plots. When there is no level area where the crane can be set up stably, the work waits. We anticipate this at the site survey and plan in advance the crane position and, if needed, the final stretch over which parts will be carried by hand. A photo of the plot’s access road and slope lets us do this planning before the site survey.

06Delivery and installation

How do we get from Arnavutköy to Yalova?

Shipments from Arnavutköy to Yalova are planned via the gulf crossing. On sloping plots, the position of the installation vehicle and crane is determined during the site survey; in holiday communities, entry permits and installation-hour restrictions go into the plan.

On sloping plots, measuring is often done in two stages: first the boundary and level difference, then verification once the post positions are set. Shipping via the gulf crossing can be done in a single trip. Installation time depends on the slope, crane access and community rules; we state the exact number of days in the quote after the site survey.

We have no branches or dealers; all fabrication is done in our own workshop in Arnavutköy. Price and lead time depend on the size of the job, the opening and the installation conditions — so we don’t quote a figure or a number of days up front here. Send your measurements and location, and we’ll work it out for your project.

07FAQ

Frequently asked questions for Yalova

  • How is a fence handled in my sloping garden?

    There are two ways: stepping down, where the panels stay horizontal and drop step by step; or fabrication that follows the slope. The stepped solution looks neater but leaves triangular gaps under the panels; following the slope leaves no gaps but requires custom fabrication. Share the angle of the slope and the condition of the wall, and we will decide together which is right.

  • Is an ornamental plant greenhouse the same as a vegetable greenhouse?

    No. In vegetable growing, plants hang from the frame, so hanging load is the main input to the calculation; in ornamental and potted production, floor load, internal air circulation and bench layout come to the fore. Telling us at the outset what you will grow is the shortest route to choosing the right frame.

  • Can you install during the season?

    We can, but many holiday communities restrict installation hours during the season, and this can lengthen the schedule. If you find out your community’s rules in advance and pass them on to us, we will plan around them; if an off-season window is possible, the work generally moves faster.

  • How do you decide the step height?

    We calculate it from the angle of the slope and the panel length. Steps that are too small make the line look like a saw blade, while steps that are too large make the triangular gaps under the panels prominent. Since it is hard to picture how it will look when discussed as a number, we decide by showing it on a drawing.

  • Does my bench layout affect the greenhouse frame?

    It does. Bench layout and walkways determine frame spacing; a layout changed later leaves columns in the wrong places. Share your production layout and bench dimensions from the start, and we will set the bay spacing accordingly.

  • Can a crane get up to my hillside plot?

    We determine that during the site survey. A level area is needed where the crane can be set up stably; when there isn’t one, we unload the parts at a point close to the site and carry them the final stretch by hand. Sending photos of the access road and the slope lets us make this decision before the site survey.
