I got a bit fancy-schmancy as this GH cost me aprox 800 bucks total. It has double layers of 6 mL greenhouse plastic, it's 10'x12'= 120 sf, and built to withstand the sometimes brutal Rocky Mountain winds (notice the extra side braces and roof ties)
I have possible plans to build a second one this Spring....but I haven't ruled out a simple hoop house. BTW, I am a new guy here, a diehard organic grower in Colorado.

very respectable green house my good sir. My question is about those little plants in the tubes. They look like a cloning method ive seen but the plants look like seedlings to me......... WHAAAADDUP WIDDDAT??
That's one sweet little spot you got there Madjag! I'd be out there on a reclining lawn chair just chilling... it looks so peaceful.
looking great guys . i miss my greenhouses.madjag i am working on something similar. but mine is solid concrete pad and i have green roof panels . gonna get clear next month when money allows. also i left a 4x like 15 area with soil. gonna make a raised bed maybe. hoping to put in dwarf citrus plants
Sounds strong, too.
If you want the best growth potential for your citrus, as well as any other plantos, consider using clear panels. I used the smoked Lexan panels and though it does cut some of the heat absorbtion, it also cuts the light.
I bought a nice digital light meter and from what I can tell I am getting only 2/3 of the light I would have in the open. The clear panels let in about 90%+ from what I hear.
My bamboo sticks out of the open edges (that also let the rainfall run down the Lexan panels and into my soil beds that line the flagstone) another 15 feet and have no problem. The palm and others seem fine, too. Certain plants, though, want the most sunlight that they can get.
Peace,
MJ

How sturdy is that one GetMo? It seems that is the major complaint about ones that big in that price range.
