@@KreatureKeeper I see. I mean I knew that but have seen plastic opaque roofs also. Anyway you can't go with glass? Everything you've done so far is green.
@vivalaleta Thank you for your comment and question. The roof will have a Lexan double-wall polycarbonate roof, but there will be metal roofing off the pitch slanting back down to the north (or the roof over the ground level as opposed to the grow floor). We did a lot of research on roof material, then selected Lexan brand and polycarbonate. The poly roof has a higher insulation factor, is less heavy than glass, and is more resilient to hail. It has a 20 to 25 year life expectancy. We have seen smaller greenhouses - much smaller - that have been made out of glass, or recycled windows. We are all for that as we love to recycle and repurpose. However, that option was impractical for this build. Cheers J&K.
@@montanalivinginthebigskyco8541 What a beautiful reply. Your greenhouse is going to be outstanding. Please forgive my dumb comments. I've recently started medication that screws with my thinking. Metal roof, sheesh!
🙋♀️ Hello from Spokane Valley Washington!! 🦋⚘️
Wow! It's really coming along!! Have a Wonderful Weekend!! 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
I love how he always says "we" about the work. My dude says the same.
@vivalaleta That is what partners do :-)
Why not a metal roof? We should all attempt to use as little plastic as possible.
Otherwise a terrific job. Can't wait to see the results.
It's a greenhouse
