  • mrgiant2305, one side was pinned down and walked upwards to form an arch.

    Plastic was heavy duty and lasted about 2 years, though the wind killed it eventually. ( it was over 100Km/h)

    Looks like a replastic job every 2 or so years.

    mrjimbobwae, yep, a little rust..and Im 100m from the ocean. still going strong.

    the greenhouse needs vents to reduce humidity ( as in vid)

    after 2 years still a goer, though I didnt bother refitting plastic.

    cheers

  • how did you curve/bend the re-bar?

    did the plastic not tear with contact of the steel?

  • Pin down one side of the sheet and, in a even movement, arch the sheet...two people makes it easier :)

    Fix down the other side.

    The plastic has handled some fierce winds here since the installation with some small tears...nothing much considering, and the structure still works well....one thing ...

    I put a support beam across the arch of the structure to support the arc from strong wind. Located internally about 450mm down from the apex of the arch...I hit my head constantly..but it works :)

  • Interesting vid.

  • Great work! what size mesh do I need to order?

  • This is one of the more innovative way to make a green house I've seen, the mesh probably keeps dogs out too.

  • that shit must rust like crazy...bad to be breathing that in humid greenhouse
