very good link
i was thinking of doing something of doing something similar for this season but no time and money at the moment but maybe next year

i wouldnt use the thin cheap plastic though
i wont last for much wind and sun
get the thicker reinforced plastic thats used for covering things in construction work etc
wont cost much more but will last a lot longer

hey how's it going! i don't think i would have the opportunity to ever be a greenhouse grower where i happen to live, however i plan to plant my own garden for some food supplies that may end up under a diy like this. so if i may pose a few postulates and questions, i would love it!


is not the point of the thin plastic to lose as little of the sun's light energy as possible? could you then instead take and run strips of the thicker over the thin plastic where the struts are for reinforcement? or do thinner strips have much less structural integrity and would be worthless here? how much light more do you lose by just making the whole thing out of the thicker plastic? what about outgassing from pvc or the plastic?

thanx in advance for letting me pester yall!
