Nicely done..i got loads of questions..
Is this used as a greenhouse or a large cold frame? Looks like it might heat up in there during the day. What are your high temps..?..lows..? Fans for circulation? exhaust and intake vents? Did you do a cold barier in the ground with stirofoam or ?..? I have one attached to the house.. I heat it in the winter, keeping many tropicals happy. it's double blown plastic over pvc ribs area inside approx 25 X 25' 10' h at ridge There is a potting studio attached which doubles as a cold frame in the winter..glass on all three walls..recycled from various jobs I've done.. the house gets lots of fresh air and some heat in the winter. The sun dips south and greenhouse is shaded by a line of tall pines. This keeps the highs in the winter in the 60-70's and the wood heat keeps the min at 50...alot of work but i love these trees and they reward me with such a peaceful environment...

You're is really convenient if it's attached to the house.
I kept mine very simple. I keep it at 45 degrees minimum. In the summer time it gets hot, I'm planning on hooking fans up. I also left the sides of the poly up... I have double poly but no insulation blower yet.. I use electric heat.. which cost me about 20-40 dollars a month to heat up. I will be doin some modification as I go.... Bass |
