Dear Solexx people:
Last Summer we purchased Solexx paneling for our "stick built" greenhouse and the nice sales person asked if I would send to you some pictures of the finished greenhouse. So attached is a picture or two of the finished greenhouse.
We decided to garden at waist high levels so we built a concrete stem wall around the perimeter and are gardening in largen wooden, pull out doors. Sliding glass doors turned sideways provide the see-through glass at eye level. We used the Solexx on the roof and on the West facing gable end of the greenhouse. We was concerned about snow sticking and therefore made a 12:12 pitch on the roof. We live at 4,000 ft and so far (knock on wood) the snow we have already gotten has shed off rather easily. Both my wife and I like the look of clear glass and the Solexx material mixed together.
Much of the materials used in our greenhouse came from yardsales, the dump or elsewhere. We estimate the total cost of our 12' x 18' structure to be close to $8300. It has a thermostatically controlled heater, lights, fans and louvers. We did not want an automatic watering system. Even on the coldest day so far (2.8°F) the temperature in the greenhouse has been above freezing. And so far the vegetables we have planted seem to be doing well even with the short days of winter. We are advertizing a tomato fight inside the greenhouse on Valentine's Day to our friends. (joke!)
