Our 10 ft x 30 ft. has straight sides like the drawing on right, it uses two sections of pipe, 10ft. 6 inches in length. The 20x48 is round all the way and is 9 ft. 8 inches tall in the center..

Since we are all talking about putting on plastic, My greenhouse is 35x75 and about 20' at the peak. It is the type that has the vent in the peak. So the plastic only goes from the side to the vent and then connects, and the same on the other side.

Question: Has anyone replaced plastic on this type? My plastic has been on there for over 10yrs, STILL LOOKS GREAT, but i am sure one day it will need to be replaced.
