I'm envious of your green thumb and obvious hard work.

The silent majority will be silent no more.

This is a Climapod greenhouse we have some solar fans but hubby has not installed them yet.

It has vents (not automatic) no other cooling and no heating.

This is the second growing season with this during the winter (not growing anything) we do install what they call their storm package.

I don't have a good picture of it but if you search on Climapod you will see it ours is 9x21 we did a custom build meaning I did not want the shelves and stuff that come with the standard package.

It is rated for 60mph winds and I forget what the storm package extends it to.

Typically the snow slides off as the internal temp is higher during the winter but I do not press my luck if it looks like there is more than 6 inches building on it and it is during the day I have a broom I can sweep it off with.

When we bought this our package with shipping ran just under $3000.00 if you go to the site you will see that COVID is driving the prices up.

Here is our setup minus some raised beds that you can't see.

The smaller greenhouse in front of the Climapod is a Harbor Freight greenhouse 6x8 and this will be my 8th growing season with it.

The other picture is the hoop house we just modified it from an inexpensive kit we bought I wanted it to be taller to handle the trellises for the beans and cucumber not to mention we really stretched it last year as the plastic was falling apart (only used it for 2 years).

The plastic on the new hoop is rated at 5 years it is made with wood and cattle panels.
