-Rolled out weed cloth

Looks Like a good start. How big is your plot, and are you buying a GH or building from scratch. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi zxyqu! The spot is 16x26 and my gh is 10x16x10. I'm using a metal carport frame to build my shade house that I can winterize. Being in FL, having a gh in the summer will burn up everything so I am making a shade house that I can wrap with plastic for the winter. I'll keep this forum updated with progress and pictures.

Ouch. HOA's can be mean about this, but hopefully it'll go well. It doesn't appear to be a nuisance, but what do your neighbors think? Also may have to chose your drape cloth colors carefully.
