Planning on purchasing an outdoor Greenhouse for LL Neps next year. We live in Zone 7, right on the Zone 6-7 line. The Winter (when extreme) can reach lows of 0 degrees F and every few years can dip below that. But usually the average lows are in the upper 20s and the average highs in the upper 40s throughout the coldest two months of Winter (Jan - Feb).
I'd like some suggestions for heating & insulating a small greenhouse. We use natural gas heaters in our home so running an extra gas line to the GH is possible, if necessary. Sunlight is abundant through 2/3 of the Winter but usually for only 8 ish hours per day due to surrounding trees.
As far as the size, I'm looking at going with an 8' x 12' (or something similar), probably polycarbonate w/ Wooden frame but I am open to suggestions here as well if someone has a greenhouse in a similar climate they can recommend? It has to be sturdy...the weather here is legendary bad throughout the Spring (Northeast Oklahoma).
Thanks
