RE: [MittleiderMethodGardening] Greenhouse construction
We built a greenhouse this year that is 20 x 16. It's on a south facing
hill. We built it with treated lumber and have a double layer of 6 mil poly
with a fan blowing air in between. We're actually moving into it this week
and are doing some hydroponics and the tomatoes, etc. in bags with a drip
irrigation system. We're in South Carolina which is zone 8. We built a
block wall on the north side of the greenhouse and have a storage shed on
the other side.

Subject: [MittleiderMethodGardening] Greenhouse construction
I have been searching through back posts of this group, perusing the
Internet but still haven't had that eureka moment for a suitable greenhouse
design.
Where I want to build the greenhouse(s) is south facing and sloping. I'm
thinking of a concrete or block curb wall, tempered glass panels (34"x76")
for the sides and perhaps UV poly over a hand-built truss roof system. Or
should I use glass panels on the roof as well? I'm thinking something like
15' x 30' in size. Or should I be looking at a metal hoop style greenhouse
and use poly? I want the option of using this through the mild winters we
get here (Salt Spring Island, BC, USDA zone 9).
Any suggestions, websites, etc. would be appreciated.
Derek
