Hi everyone,
I am planning to build a 8' x 12' greenhouse this spring, next to my garden. I plan on building it out of wood, with 1/2 the roof, and a couple walls having double-wall polycarbonate panels. I am keeping it small so I might be able to heat it, or keep it up above 40*F or 50*F with a small electric heater. My questions is, do you think I can insulate the part of the ceiling and North wall with Fiberglass insulation (kraft-face or un-faced?) between studs and rafters, and cover it with knotty-pine interior boards? I don't suspect there will be a lot of humidity in the summer, as I will have some power roof vents on a thermostat, and a couple lower venting windows. Not sure about the winter, but I suspect it to be on the dry side. So can I use the fiberglass insulation? And should I use kraft-face, or unfaced? Thoughts?
