Hello

Thank you for the information about this green house. I am going to try an build your green house design.

Do you think if I paint the plywood before cutting it will be a good ideal?

Add 2 50 gallon drums of water in the 8 by 8 greenhouse and extend the season another month or two without additional heat! You must have a double layer of plastic to keep the heat!

Very nice plans, creative and innovative.

I would think that painting all of it in some flat white latex paint would be a good idea. It would protect the wood and reflect the light. Sanding well and covering any rough edges with white duct tape both help make the poly last longer.

Thanks so much. But I wish I had your green house in your picture.

I am buying the parts and paint. I farm in the City so it have to look good.

Thanks. You are so smart. If this plan work for me " I will have to send you some tomatoes next year. I have to make so small adjustments with hurricane brackets because I live next to the water, because of our building code. I when down to Home Depot and they could not believe the green house outer walls will bent in shape to the trusses buy itself. But, I know it will. So I took the design out of sight, because you should sell your design to a companies or builders. .
I will save the adjustment for your note when I complete the JOB. It will take me some time.
