My new GH again

Post by majcka »

I have my 3rd GH almost finished after my previous GH collapsed in late December:

I have a few details to finish (like automatic vents and closings) and then I can move my cacti in.

Wow it looks wonderful.
Better luck with this one. Don't think the snow will collapse this structure. Looks substantial.

That looks alot stronger and bigger, interesting 2 floor levels and are you going to have 2 temperature zones or is the screen at mid point just for support.
best of luck with moving the plants, and filling up you new greenhouse over the coming seasons.

Looks magnificent. Is it a custom job? Can you tell us which way it faces the sun?

That is really good, Maja. Well done in getting it built so quickly after the collapse of your previous one. I bet you can't wait to get the plants in now.

Very nice strong looking new green house, I would hope that is going to stand up to the worst your winter can throw at it.

On the last Picture you can see a worker. That side is the north one. So the sun rises up from the fence side and in the high summer it is on the sun till about 4 p.m. Then the sun gets behind house corner.

I would expect it to last at least 15 years. :cool: It cost me too much for anything less. :mrgreen:

And thank you all for asking.
