ShadyGreenThumb said:I like cheap. Spent about $100? IDK I didn't add it up but it wasn't much to reinforce the walls using the Harbor Freight Greenhouse Blog, the Experts at then ATP who have build one before, and the instructions. Well, I was just joking about the instructions part. They sucked. But I got it done. And it is sturdy as all getout. I like that it sits on the deck, something stable in case we get those hurricane force winds. I also insulated the base and secured it doubly using cedar fencing. It's not totally insulated but I can keep it at 65º using one radiating dish heater if I want.

If you read the blog you will get all kinds of good ideas in there for the HFGH and others, I think. If you read the Post you will get even more better ideas from the good folks here. It's a long thread full of fun stuff. We didn't go off track too much. But you will see in my first post, I was considereing the Palram and ended up with HFGH. All I know is that you should get the biggest you can afford that you can fit into your space. There just never is enough room in them for all we want to do!

Hey again Cheryl,

Thank you for the link. I have read a lot about the HF GH and about as many other brands as I could find. I know that making it as big as possible is good advice from everybody that owns a GH. Where I have decided to place the GH restricts the size in my case, it will be next to my house and an A/C unit on one end and a driveway on the other . My other location where I had planned to build would require me to tear down and move one of my sheds and cut down a couple of large trees, which I have decided not to do this year. I just purchased a new tractor and implements so now I am concentrating on preparing the ground for a bigger garden for next year I might get even crazier and till up a huge area around the garden and plat all of that in mixed flowers and milo

Again thanks
