Hello all Im planning on constructing or buying a all season green house and need some friendly advice. Im in need of a GH I live in MN which is zone 3b in hardiness. Price does not matter ATM was looking to spend around 10k if need be. Dimensions are about 6x10m and have about 2 stories (about 15feet) of height that can be utilized if not more. Mainly just need help determining what type of materials I need. I was thinking galvanized steel for the frame with fiber glass/poly carb double layer sheets for frame covers. I was planning on using an rigid frame that would be a lean-to on the house. Have gas line and water hose that is in the same area so all that can be incorporated will be able to hook up a R/O system to the hose. It is in a west direction which is kinda not ideal but I can supplement lighting with artificial light if need be have plenty of lighting that I use in my own inside setup and if not Ill buy a 1k watt MH or less depending. Also have several strong pumps that will be used to misting/watering all will be automated. Just need intake/exhaust fans and a heating unit which I was checking out gas heaters and boy are they expensive! Propane seems like a cheap relaible alternative if not eletric heaters but that would run the risk of not working if there was a power outage or some unexpeceted event. But also to couter act that possibliy get a generator or seperate batteries that the GH would solely use. Was considering using BTU's but that would take up a whole heck of space with barrels. Even just a quote or general idea of how much or what else I could be missing would be helpful. I would prefer the cheapest way really convience isnt much of an issue I have plenty of time and people that would be able to help build/construct it compared to buying a premade GH that a lot of websites advertise. Maybe cutting sheets would be the only problem but any suggestions again would help.
Any ideas would be helpful I'm still extremely new to the subject and must do more research. Prefer not spending thousands of dollars talking to an "expert" which I was quoted at $500 an hour. Thank you in advance.
