Just a hobby house for a back yard grower, but finally up and operational!

Ha ha ha!  Yeah, old man winter did a number on the old Harbor Freight 6x8.  These Palrams are a lot better quality.

Ok they are available in Canada! How is it in 60mph winds?

I just finished putting it up today.  It's pretty solid.

Looks good, Ben. Wish I had a shadehouse as nice as that.

That looks nice.

I like how you have in on the Trex board deck as well. No rot and water drainage.

That's been on my "do it next year" list for at least 5 years....

Looks very nice. I bought one from Harbor freight and it is much cheaper quality. However, with a little reinforcement it has helped me propagate for about 2 years now! Did you get to put automatic vent openers/closer? Here in Miami it has helped so much in preventing mold and fungus growth due to high humidity. You might not need it.. Happy growing! B)

I've put in one automatic opener, and it seems to be working well, so have another on order.  As you can see, also have a lot of air circulation in there - so hoping for fewer fungal problems than I had in my old Harbor Freight.

Yes I notice the fans. Will be great to keep circling the air. Any intensions on putting in overhead misting/irrigation systems? I ended up installing mine with a timer. Although when I had to hand water every day it was easier to catch any problems quickly.. The Pros and Cons!

Nah, I am going to irrigate by hand as you say, to keep an eye on things.  Greenhouse culture has been a real struggle for me, so going to try and do it properly.  I'm hopeful that the larger size of this one will actually reduce problems/work.  We'll see!
