The greenhouse

[david_anderson]

I've given up on any hope of a real summer, and put the last side on the greenhouse. I left one side off, to help vent it through the heat of summer that never really arrived. I still have to trim some of the plastic, and attach some more cinch strap, but it is basically done.

The windstorms were my question as well. We did something similar with our inherited canopy, except we turned ours into a woodshed/bikes & lawnmower shed. Unfortunately, it still got fairly wet last winter, because the first windstorm ripped the entrance tarp off. The sides didn't come all the way off, but they ripped out of their ties everywhere but the top. After a few windstorms, we gave up and just left them

Out where you are, it's usually good for an extra 20-30 knots more than what we have here, but it still blows well enough to do a number on plastic that is allowed to flap around. We'll see how it works out.

Oh, we definitely get more wind than you do. 60/70 mph is normal here in the winter. We get a storm that strong about every week for months.

I would love to have a greenhouse that actually used glass. It might not be as efficient as all the new stuff, but it looks a lot nicer. That still counts in my boat, but hey, I'm a girl. :)

That's not saying yours doesn't look nice, by the way. I've just been dreaming about greenhouses again lately, since we might be checking for water on our property soon.
