Dutch term or phrase: H.O.H.
I am currently translating (almost completed) the specifications of a new (industrial) greenhouse project, and am struggling with the acronym "h.o.h".

Sample sentence:

"Beregeningsstralen h.o.h. 1,60 pvc 32 mm. kleur wit, gemonteerd op speciale regenleiding steunen met een hoogte van 10 cm h.o.h. 80 cm"

Is this measurement-specific?

All suggestions welcome, KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.

Many thanks,

Anne
