Greenhouse for Sue Richard

Yardiac 6 x 8 foot aluminum and clear twin-wall polycarbonate glazing

The greenhouse as it appears today. The greenhouse was built from a kit
and the kit included everything needed to construct the greenhouse. The floor
was added and it is sand and stepping stones. The greenhouse is tied down
with wire that hooks into anchors at each corner.

The greenhouse from the rear showing the lower louvered vents located near the floor line.

The interior showing the stepping stone/sand floor as well as the many tomatoe
plants growing in pots. Also there are some spices growing and Sue is beginning
new growings of tomatoes and other plants.

The fan is in there to help circulate air and a little cooler air with the use of the soaked
cardbard material. I hope to add more material to help bring down the daytime
temperature which rises well above 100.

On the rear is a shelf for plants. A two level free standing shelving system that fits
along one wall is on back order and should arrive any day now.

I have ordered a misting system that will assist in adding cooling to the greenhouse
as well as a special covering that will be draped over the roof during in the summer
months to help lower the interior temperature by 15 to 20 degress.

The roof vent suppliied with the kit. The roof vent as well as the louvered vent
on the lower rear wall are covered in detachable screening material that hopefully
will keep out most bugs that usually damage and destroy the tomatoes in the area..
