Hi FourOaks,
Its' basically an inner plastic shell. I use a 3mil 20' x 24' piece of plastic I buy at Menard's for a little under 20 bucks. I only use it for a couple months. I think it takes 3 or 4 months for the stuff to start to deteriorate. The framework that supports it is common 1/2 pcv pipe. The pvc pipe framework I leave up and reuse every year. The greenhouse is in the back on a hill next to the garden. I'm going back up there to do some more transplanting in a couple of minutes. I just came down to the house to make my bladder gladder. I'll take some more picture when I go back up there and explain a little better in a post this evening. Dutch
