I AM NEW TO GREENHOUSES, AND ABOUT AS BROKE AS EVERYONE ELSE, BUT I WANT TO FEED MY FAMILY FRUIT AND VEG THAT IS NOT SATURATED IN CHEMICALS. WE LIVE AROUND COCOA BEACH FLORIDA ON THE MAINLAND WITH A HORRIBLE FERAL CAT PROBLEM, HENSE THE NEED FOR AN ENCLOSED STRUCTURE. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST THAT WOULD BE STURDY ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE NOT HURRICANE RELATED WIND AND STORMS? THANKS ANGEL HI, AWESOME GREENHOUSES.

I live right in the center of Alberta's "hail alley" and we've had bad hail every year I've lived here. So, this is one one I can try to keep them a little safer. If it works, phase two is to add ends and be able to get things going earlier in spring and keep them later in the fall. I won't try to heat it though - just passive heating. I've got tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, a couple Dill's Giant Pumpkins, and some peppers ready to go out there. I'll likely experiment with a whole lot of other misc things too.
