My husband and a friend agreed to build a greenhouse for me. I've followed many links in the "sticky," read many of the threads on this forum, ordered catalogs, visited web sites, and I must say I am saturated with information to the point I'm confused. The main question is whether to build from scratch or order a kit. I think a kit for the size I want would be too expensive. We have an old, uneven concrete slab in a perfect location that is about 16 x 20. I would really like a GH about 12 to 14' wide. We have considered using treated lumber and PVC panels (similar to fiberglass panels but stronger), but by the time I add all the accessories for ventilation, etc., I'm afraid I would have just as much invested as buying a kit. I don't want one just to store plants in. I want room to "hang out," re-pot plants, start seedlings, etc. By the way, in NW Fla. it gets extremely hot during the summer. I just retired, so I have plenty of time for my new hobby. I've taken over the dining room with potting soil, seedlings, etc. DG has been SO helpful to me with all of my other questions, I'm hoping that one of you experienced GH owners can steer me in the right direction. Have I set my goals too high?
