This is how I prepare my small greenhouse for winter
In this episode, I talk you through how I prepare my small, 4ft by 6ft greenhouse for winter. Although I use my greenhouse of cacti and overwintering tropical plants, the rules apply whatever you use yours for. See below for links to buy what I use.

I think I'd do similar with a larger greenhouse, but with such a small space, and lowering the thermostat to 5⁰C, i can keep costs down.
Nice job thank you for this video. Can you kindly provide some advice on where to get bubble wrap and some specifications. There are tons of videos on youtube on how to install bubble wrap in your greenhouse, but no one talks about its characteristics. I live in Canada. When I went looking to purchase bubble wrap I find that most is used in moving and it has perforations every foot. I figured that cant be good. Then there is coloured, that can be good. There are different thicknesses too. I checked the local homedepot, and moving companies but found nothing that looks like what you are doing. Some rolls are only 1 foot wide. Amazon seems like my best bet. Anyway, any advice greatly appreciated

Never seen the perforated rolls here, but the majority of bubblewrap here is used for wrapping parcels etc. Try searching for things like 'horticultural bubblewrap' or 'greenhouse bubblewrap' which should be resistant to degrading in the sun. Bubbles are usually larger on it too, closer to an inch diameter.
