PalmatierMeg Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Definitely. I read elsewhere you consider yourself a hobby grower? Looks like a full blown nursery to me. Best of luck to you. 1 Quote Meg Palms of Victory I shall wear Cape Coral (It's Just Paradise) Florida Zone 10A on the Isabelle Canal Elevation: 15 feetI'd like to be under the sea in an octopus' garden in the shade.

LoamWolf Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Very nice greenhouse. I'm envious! How do you plan on finishing off the ends, or are you leaving it open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbrae Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Shade for now , ends maybe the end of summer using galvanised pipe and brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoamWolf Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Nice, are the arches galvanized or plastic? Also did you buy the arches pre-bent, or are you bending them yourself? I want to build a greenhouse this summer and have been looking at the tube benders that allow you to use top rail fence poles for the arches. I also visited a nursery recently where they were using 3" PVC as the arches. But i cant image it lasting too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbrae Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 These are galvanized pipe, we use spring latch to attach shade and plastic, these houses i bought off a local produce shed, they had been used for growing tomato transplants but sat idle when that program was discontinued. I bought the whole stack of bows for one lump sum and managed to build 3 shade houses 28x100 and this 28x60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
