Using the bubble wrap was a smart idea. I need to put some at the bottom of my greenhouse where the draft is.

[@natbackyardgarden]

Yes, or place some mulch/straws on the outside near the bottom and that would help also!

Thanks Nat, for such an informative video. I live in Colorado, 7000 feet elevation, and will be building a CP greenhouse this summer. Your tip on bubble wrap will be most beneficial. I plan on the north wall being being 4’ high, framed with 2x4s and insulated. Also plan on a water wall of some sort to collect the heat. Keep up the good work and look forward to your next video.

Yes the bubble wrap have been working wonderfully for us this winter. With a 1500W space heater I am able to maintain a temp of 40-45f inside with a low of 10-12F outside! Only have to pull out the big propane when it get in the single digits near zero. Another wonderful benefit of the wrap is that it prevent the daylight greenhouse temperature being too high...even with the door closed.

Great! Novice question: How many cattle panels did you use to begin with?

[@natbackyardgarden]

3 cattle panels of the 4ftx16ft. If I were to do it over, I would raise the bottom a couple of foot just so I can make it a little more wider.
