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.

Looks like a great start. That will be a nice sized shade/green house!

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.
