New greenhouse

We are moving, so I've been putting up a new prefab greenhouse...

It's been slow going, as I have a lot of other tasks. When there's progress, I'll post more photos.
Thanks for looking and good growing,
KPG

I agree with everyone else. Great greenhouse and i'm anxious to see it finished.
 
Looks great already!
 
Thank you for the kind comments! Have added the ridge beam assembly (tricky job - for me, at least) and one set of window frames. I hope to make significant progress this weekend.

Today's view:

Finished the rafters today -- next up is roof vents and maybe coat of wood preservative before the glazing.

Well, here's an update. I confess progress has been pretty slow -- family care issues, plus lots of work getting the new house ready for our move.

Next is water and power. Hopefully, next update will be when I start moving plants to their new home.

Where did you get your Polycarbonite panels from?
I haven't found any place that will sell them for under $35.00 - $50.00 for a 2X4 sheet!

Thanks for the kind comments. I splurged and bought a greenhouse kit. It is western red cedar and the
polycarbonate twin-wall was glazing was included. (The current "home" for my plants is a homemade redwood
fiberglass greenhouse I built almost 30 years ago. Functional, but not as nearly as nice as this one.)

Cheers,
Paul
