My New Greenhouse... step by step...

Thansk

John, the desert pltans are: Adenium arabicum; Euphorbia ambovombensis; 2 x Ipomoea sp. from East Africa; Ipomoea sp. from Tanzania, Morogoro Prov.; Pyrenacantha malvifolia and Sinningia leucotricha

Dounoharm, actually it was my partner and some frinds who did a wonderful job I just watched them working from the balcony... and yes, there is enough space to fill.... but no more plants to be bought untill next year I will receive several plants from Orchids Limited next week, and want to wait at least few months to see how they all do together in the greenhouse, befor adding new plants...

That looks really great Ramón

Hope everything with your back gets sorted this week, keep us updated with how you are doing.

Very nice looking GH mister
built to last at least 50 years.
That style is no cheap one like I was looking at.
I see lots and lots of money, in it, around it, and into it. Money money Money..you got a money tree in there thats blooming too?

Can I have a division of it ?

[kavanaru]

ok, I admit it is not the cheapest one you can get, but also not the most expensive one you can get either... I went for quality and very good insulation: this reduces heating costs and is cheaper on a long term...

my money tree... yes, I have one, a very strong one which I have been caring of very carefully since at least 20 years.. here the recipe: work hard for your education (don't need to go to the best University for it.. it's you and not the university that must be good!), work hard and be honest when getting the right job, work hard and with open cards in your job, take care of your career and career plan... and very important, do not neglect your life, friends and family (these are the ones helping you with the hard work, if,like me, you get sick in the middle ofthe work) on the way... as simple as that!

excellent advice for all

Awesome greenhouse Ramon! How thick are the plexiglass panels ? I didn't see in the earlier posts.

Congratulations, and good luck with your surgery.

Cheers.
Jim

The panels are 16 mm thick, with chambers of 64 mm wide... let 91% of light through, does not block UV and have a K value of 2,5 W/m2K (R value = 1/K = 0.4)... all aluminum frames are also internally insulated, so that the outer "layers" are not in direct contact with the inner "layewrs"..

Wow, nice job !!! It looks very welcoming !!! I am wondering where you have been keeping all these plants before

Ramon, I can't tell you how impressed I am of you and this project. Very well planned and executed, from the footers to the aluminum tables.

Couple of question, for my own curiosity..

What are your plans for the flooring? Loose pebbles?

What are your plans for air movement?

What are your plans for irrigation/misting?

What are your plans for hanging plants, like vandas?

OK, so not a couple, more like a few..
