@DoobieBrother - I almost said something about the design. You should have seen my first try with plastic. The wind ripped it off! Home Depot has credit cards :) They carry clear corrugated panels that may be perfect in an A-frame pitch or a lean-to pitch.





Here is a cool design:






Found it while searching Craigslist for corrugated plastic.


Cheers,
Mo

Next spring I'm thinking of building a permanent greenhouse.
For this season I just need the plastic to last 3 weeks, tops.

I inspected the damage to the wooden crossmembers and they broke because of a knot in the 2x4 that I ignored when I ripped it in two.
Both halves of the 2x4 broke at the knot in the wood due to wind pressure.

Re-doing the same support, but with whole 2x4's and a 3rd 2x4 to act as a jack stud where the roof supports will be crossing.
And anywhere there will be direct contact with anything, I'll be adding strips of Gorilla tape to re-enforce to prevent rips & stretching.

But I'm definitely going to be designing a real structure to build for a greenhouse this coming Spring.
Will con-fab with the boss to see what size I'll be allowed, but she's already said I need a greenhouse next year, so it's just a matter of making plans & picking a spot to build it.

It's sprinkling today @hippy132 :) looks like the winter has come! I'm going to put a garbage can out to try to get some of it 8-)
Does anyone know where to get a good deal on 2 gallon black buckets with lids? I found some at us plastic. Com but it's 40$ for 5 (with shipping) which is a little too much, if it was free shipping it wouldn't be bad, I've checked Lowes and I found 2 gallon blue buckets but I can't find the lids for them

Doobie... the real trip of the whole thing is that I am a future you living in the past, so really I was messing with my past self in his future, still in my past, yet simultaneously in my present. Or your present, however you want to think about it. :)

And please, for the love of pete, don't ask any questions or the universe may cease to exist.
