has anyone here have /had any experience with this type of greenhouse? http://www.ebay.com/itm/320902320725?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 i realize that it probably will not hold up to a new england winter. but i was thinking more along the lines of putting it up late winter or real early spring and then taking it back down when the hot weather arrives. __________________ Massachusetts Zone:6b Wish to be Growing: Battaglia

Way cool. And free shipping. I may get one of these myself. My only concern is we get some pretty high gusty winds here at times. __________________ Dave Verde Valley, AZ Zone 8

i agree, high winds & snow load would most likely cause some damage. the only thing to prevent snow damage would be to not use the greenhouse during the snow season. as for wind, i would imagine that there should be a way to anchor the frame to a base. maybe making a base out of 6x6 timbers anchored to the ground and then securing the greenhouse frame to the timbers....? i dunno, i'm just shooting from the hip here..... __________________ Massachusetts Zone:6b Wish to be Growing: Battaglia

I have seen them used successfully. IT depends on wind, snow and rain loads, but they do work. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere
