@spiritartman This one is 11x16. I got the plans of the net so just do a search for pvc greenhouse plans and you will see several to choose from....Thanks
@MrWhynotme68 sorry it took so long.....it's called greenhouse plastic or greenhouse film. The thicker the plastic, the better insulation qualities. With my experience, on a 60 degree day, unvented, the greenhouse would reach 110 degrees before lunch with full sun.
whats the avg. temp inside, has it snowed at all. I'm wondering cause I'm greenhouse gardening this winter and need to know of your success / failure.
@jude1c9v once the seeds germinated, I only supplied heat when the outside temps were projected to get below 40 degrees. On a 60 degree day with full sun, the inside temp will easily hit 120 if you don't vent it!!
@jude1c9v Cover your seedlings at night with a secondary cover of "Bubble wrap" or some other insulating material and remove it when the temperature rises in the day and your heating costs are minimal.
@MsWaxqueen It depends on the crop(s) you are trying to grow. Most things can survive temps down to 40 degrees at night and some even down to freezing. I use supplemental heat when the overnight temps go below 40. Thanks.
@MsWaxqueen I purchased it through my local farmer's co-op. You can even get it from Lowe's or Home Depot. This GH had 4 mil but it only lasted about 5 months. The 6 mil will last a lot longer. Regular GH 6 mil plastic is rated for a minimum of 4 years.
What are the dimensions on yours? Do you have "Plans" it's PERFECT!

@spiritartman I built one similar to this a bit bigger in 2003. It is still standing but without the plastic. Check out my video

If you buy UV green house plastic instead of the stuff at lowes or the co-op it will last about 6 or 7 years
