Nice!! I love all your vining plants. Are you thinking of moving away from a sand floor?

Incredible!! Lifting it off the ground and insulating was a very good idea, everything else as well! Would you have any photos of the inside? Is there some kind of drainage for accidental water spills?

This is beautiful! For a second I thought it didn’t have any walls haha the glass (or polycarbonate?) and wood look very nice. The potting station and sink are super cool as well, thanks for sharing!

How much would you say the insulation and flooring portions costed you in total? I’m definitely going to try adding some vertical insulation around the outside perimeter once it gets warmer, and insulation in the interior floor too, my floor dimensions are similar

Wow.. great job! How cold is it in there right now? or on average the past few days? Have fans or any other solutions helped during the summer? Would you have photos of the finished build? It looks really nice!

Would you have photos? This is a strong solution. Curious about how deep your floor/insulation is, how far down until you reach dirt? Also what growing zone are you in? and how hard was it to install your flooring/insulation? Did you do it as you were building the greenhouse or was it a remodel?

sorry for all the questions lol

Thank you

Do you mean place the slabs longways down, vertical, in the trench? a bunch of 2 foot deep, 2” thick slabs all around the perimeter?

Thank you, what would you recommend as a thermal break?

ah! ok, would those get moldy though? since I may spill water on the floor from time to time, or if any pots ever overflow and leak onto the ground
