pool cover for greenhouse
Yes this was very helpful. I had been wondering if the grommets would hold or pull out. I don't have any wood to secure to. Mine has a galvinized iron frame. Where do you get the spikes for mobile homes? I'll look on line. I've used cork screw like anchor for dogs to secure tie lines to the ground for the shade cloth, but the air goes through the shade cloth so they don't blow off. It seems like it is more of a problem with plastic. I have gutters that I could clamp the cover onto, but then the gutters wouldn't be in use. Another problem that makes everything that much harder is that the roof has three sides, two of which are triangles. The rectangular shadecloths lay on top, but not totally flat. The pool cover will probably be less flat even. I am tempted to try anyway because the bubble insulation is very hard to put up inside and needs to be replaced this year. I've used spring tension curtain rods between the ribs to secure it, but it falls down eventually. Also it is not totally air tight. The corners that are triangular, I adhered with 3M spray adhesive from Charlies Greenhouse. These sections fall down fastest.
Thanks for your info.
