My 8x8 Greenhouse
My 8x8 Greenhouse
I had some clones that I was just trying to keep alive with some overdriven Fls. Decided to try a clear roof on my old shed and was going to replace the sides with clear twinwall poly sheeting.
Went to Lowes to look for some and they were replacing their's
So I got 6 sheets 6x22 feet . FREE Double what I needed to finish. It is faded but that just makes it less transparent so a big plus for security.
Just pulled out the old sides slid in the new looks like they came that way.
I still need to set it all up one the roofline.
Pictures are on my profile
Updates to come

Good Find; And the price was right too.

Thx, I've got a small tin shed that will get converted....if I ever get it empty.

Finally Done

Okay I took out the clear panel and replaced it with the free polycarbonate added a fan I got from a central air unit combined with a plug in thermostat controller. Cycles on and off at 85*
I also added a drip/mist watering system.
The girls love it, grew a foot in a week.

If it came out like you planned. Pleas do some more detailed pics. ,,, it looks like the one I'm about to play with.
Is there going to be enough light inside? with the corrugated panels?

There is plenty of light in fact too much I had to put sun screening over part of it and add more vents. The only problem I have is early flowering, I turned off the supplimental lighting too early. I turned them back on but who knows I esttimate that they are over 7' tall being supercropped twice and are showing no signs of slowing down.
By the way, how is the shed orientated?
I was wondering if those panels would let in enough light? But I've heard that the 'pigments' can be deceptive, when it comes to light transmission.
I ended up with polycarb panels, but they are the cheaper ones... single layer formed, instead of corrugated. Ended up getting them at Lowe's, as Homey Depot turned their lumber section into 'nursery' storage area. Couldn't even get to the rack. Say nothing about getting materials out. Just weird.

Looks good. Did you use 2" PVC for the frame?

High everybody
we have a few girls in the greenhouses, and plan on a little bit of light depravation, toward the end of the year, to ensure a timely finish
Oregon has LONG days in the summer, and when the rain comes, its too late. so we want to have everything done before the rain and mold comes.
They do absorb the heat, that's for sure.
I've had to install a small evaporative cooler in mine to keep the temps down and the humidity up.
It's to be expected I suppose.... the sun is one big assed light. lol
Not complaining mind you. My electric bill for this quarter was just under $85.00. I'm good with free lumens, just have to figure out how to use them efficiently.... and get rid of the heat. lol
20kw? Yup, that'd sure take care of either one of mine that's for sure.
Have you got it all figured out and sourced yet? Sounds like a project.
