I have got the same sort of greenhouse over here in Australia & wind was a big problem during winter time because it blew over a few times because the wind was very strong,I have staked it up since then because the frame is broken & the supplied ropes & pegs weren't enough to keep the wind from blowing it over. I ended up using thicker rope & tying one side off onto a star picket. It does well during the day because during winter time when it was 66°F outside on a sunny winters day it got up to 90°F inside of the greenhouse. I want to buy a more permanent structure when I get my own property because I was growing 2 durian plants inside of the greenhouse which just died at overnight temperatures below 50°F & water leaks in through the roof so I thought that it was a bit unsafe to use a heater inside of the greenhouse & I don't want to rack up my fathers electricity bill. I was leaning towards using more solar power during the day to run the heater during the night by storing the solar power during the day in a battery to be used overnight. I would like to maintain a temperate which is above 10°C or 50°F overnight during winter time so that sensitive tropical plants such as the durian plants will live !

The Obsessive MacGyver! Well done! Hope it works out for you. Looking forward to an "after" update👍

Maybe vinyl pool repair tape or greenhouse tape for seams? I have the same greenhouse and it's doing that as well thought it was from my cats but I guess it's just weathered it's 2 years old so I'm pretty amazed it's lasted in our climate. I considered getting a big sheet of 6mil clear plastic maybe and draping it over. The struggle is real! I'm hoping to just build a permanent one soon

Ya...this is my 3rd season. They aren't made to handle the sun year after year. Those are some good ideas. I plan on really reinforcing it more after the storm goes by.

How do you run power to your heater? I've been trying to find a better solution to running heat out to.mine

Peppers look great

You can buy replacement cover.

Ya. You're absolutely right. I was really focused on insulating and holding the heat in...which worked well actually. I harvested peppers while it was -2°f

If you can find a black 55 gallon barrel....or paint it black....fill with water. It will heat up in greenhouse during day and emit heat as night settles in. Covered. Hey bub. Brad here from HH

Nice. If I only had room 😆. I thought about doing that with a trough heater in it.

Luckily where I live we rarely get strong winds. I have another one just like it and when I lived on the California Coast Gail Force winds blew it almost a quarter mile away 😆

Well done. Going to add 7 more layers for the snow though?

Should be good. Last year it stayed warm when it snowed. I only had the inside insulated at that point.

how do you keep the white plastic from falling

It's doing well. The outside Temps are dipping down pretty low so The Temps inside the greenhouse are good for finishing off ripening what peppers and tomatoes are still on the plant. Probably start planting lettuce and other cool weather plants soon.

Foam board?

Not sure if that is the correct term. You can buy it in big rolls at Walmart.

How did all those layers work out for you?

It worked very well. I was harvesting peppers while there was snow on the ground.
