My Greenhouse - Finishing the Structure

in #gardening7 years ago (edited)

Here is the #greenhouse frame. Painted and the roof put on. The roof is vinyl drop cloth used in painting. It lets plenty of light in but isnt the most durable stuff. Good thing its cheap.

Here is a pic of the interior. The citrus tree in the middle was moved to the front yard. It did fine for the rest of the season but we got a bad frost and the tree froze.

I put a screen on it for the sides. I figured that with the #Florida sun it was going to be plenty warm enough in there. Turns out I was right. The roof retains enough of the suns rays and the screen restricts the flow of air enough to keep it a degree or two warmer than outside.

Finishing touch is the screen door. Gotta keep the bad bugs and the birds out! Keeps the good bugs out too! Gonna have to figure that one out.
