A friend of mine is selling me her double walled greenhouse and heater 10 x 12, I am so excited. the trick now is to get it home, anyone have any ideas...... It's riveted, rather professional looking think, would you put it on a trailer or drill the things out.... ideas??? jo
I do have to wait until some of the snow goes away..... shucks

don't know how you'd move it, but congratulations! I bet you'll have fun growing all kinds of things. My hubby just showed me a small greenhouse e'd like to get me soon. yay!

JO, that's great! Do you have the option of moving it intact? That would probably be best for structural integrity unless there is clearly a way to take it apart without damaging the connections. Have fun planning all the great things you want to grow once you get it in place! What will be using under it?
with a happy heart |

I think I'll try to move it intact, I can't wait to bring it home but it keeps snowing and snowing, I mean you would not believe it. I'm sure we won't see our yard until the end of May, spring comes in May here. I think I'd like to grow some tomatoes because we can't normally grow them outside here. All my potted stuff can go in there in early September to extend my growing season. I'm planning on doing some lettuce in raised beds under cover. The biggest problem is the darn MOOSE. They mow down EVERYTHING. The nice thing about the greenhouse is I won't be fussing about them. They are going to really suffer this winter, they'll look starving by the first of April and it's such a hard winter. Not to mention crabby moose! jo

Robin, I measured and checked it out today, it's a sunglo, double walled greenhouse. It is two layers of double walled acrylic, this is the website, tell me what you think..... because I need to take it apart and put it back together I'm trying to decide if it would be "worth my effort" as opposed to buying another little new one and start from scratch. It has a heater, fan. It has a few broken pieces I would have to replace. jo
