Nice setup. Hope you will be able to keep it warm enough in the winter.

Bryan - very nice for free. Where in New York are you, I ask because your greenhouse doesn't look to have much of a pitch to the roof, aren't you concerned about snow build-up?

Yes and no it dose have a compound pitch both to the sides and to the front. I hope I can keep it warm enough to keep the snow from building up. And if have to cleen the roof so be it small price for my hobby

I'm sooooooo jealous!!! I wish I could have a greenhouse - maybe one day (sigh)....

Yeah, I had to look at your location to see where you lived that you could have such thin walls. I sure hope it works for you, but I know in St. Louis, MO, we have to have thicker walls than yours to make our plants survive. I have never seen a greenhouse here with walls like that. It may be an issue of conserving money by means of energy spent to keep it warm, but that was my one concern when I saw where you lived.

Keep us posted on what happens! LOVE the set-up you have. And BTW, you still have rooms for TONS more orchids!!! So jealous... (oops, did I say that already? lol...)

Their is a 3inch air gap between 2 layers of plastic so it isn't as thin as it looks. Also I did move I live in jersey now on the border of a zone5-6

Bryan, awesome setup! I am impressed with your creativity in finding materials and setting it up. Quite inspiring. Thank you! I'm trying to figure out how to make a mini shaded area, not even a real shadehouse, in the back corner of my little yard without upsetting the landlord. Ideas are coming...
