Advise:

  1. Thicker polyfilm , thermal factor higher is better . if polycarbonate panel will be better

  2. check all the covering if have holes or has gap between it and structure

  3. adding shade curtain inside, keep warm in winter, keep cool in summer

  4. put efficient fans to save electricity

others? if you have other advice ?

Hi everyone We've just been gifted an old westdock slant greenhouse, and would like to find the clips ( they are not w clips).

The brackets are a top hat style and have a channel either side for a round gasket strip and they screw through a hole in the top hat into a channel on the greenhouse fixing bar.

I very much doubt I'll be able to find any, and I'm currently siliconing the panes in place and using the fixing brackets sparingly as we don't seem to have enough. Anyone got any kicking around or can think of a common alternative?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Folks,

I’ve been in search of a permanent greenhouse for my yard. Did an el cheapo ($250) and it was a great winter. But as I was unloading it, large gust of wind and the proverbial pigs were left outside.

I’ve found two that I like, one is a cheaper version of the other.

Option one, a Savannah or T-shaped design with safety glass (clear see through) windows. Just under $10k.

The second option of similar design uses a four walled polycarbonate (I think) windows. Just over $6k.

Then i see others for $30 or $40k and wonder if my earlier selections were hacks.

Anyone with any advice?

Construction of greenhouse cost

how to lower the greenhouse construction cost ?

  1. Reasonable design, less parts but strong, material cost is just one part of total project cost.

  2. Assembled completely, no welding to avoid the rust.

  3. Reasonable installation in order. arrange labor In efficiency. all workers has to be busy .no repeat of any stage.

  4. using equipments and tools to fasten the procedure. balance labor cost, rental equ6cost, and the earlier construction if may catch up good growing season.

anything else ?pls list your advice .
