Greenhouse/Winter storage

Last September we decided to build a Winter storage for my Fig trees, being that they were taking up too much room in my garage I sort of had a dead area on the side of my garage  and figured that would be a good place, so off to the Depot I went I used all pressured treated wood including pressure treated plywood which works out good when watering  because you don't have too worry so much about rot and I used corrugated fiberglass roof eventually I would like to find some plexiglass sheets to switch with the plywood on the upper half of the greenhouse well after it was done I put all my trees in there "last September" and was praying they would like there new environment as you can see in the photo it was a total success that extra heat early in the Spring  pushed everything to start growing much earlier than would have. There are Figs on almost every plant I have never had that before , I'll be removing the trees any day now I need to do it before the leaves start to get tangled  as far as when the greenhouse is empty I'll probably put a table and chairs in there for the summer it will be a nice place to sit eat figs and prosecute  and finish off with a nice Cappuccino

Dave, nice looking storage shed! Did you use any heat source this winter to keep the new addition warm? It looks really nice.

Hi Mark, no I didn't put any heaters of any kind in the greenhouse , when I kept them in my garage I didn't have any heat in there as well and they always survived the winter 

Dave
Really sweet and nicely constructed. Color me green with envy
