Here are some photos of my greenhouse area 12ft off the ground because we took part of our deck adjoining our sunroom.
It has worked very well for the last 10 or so years but hubby will be 71 this year and his climbing on the roof to add extra shade cloth in the summer is no longer an option. Once Spring hits it needs an extra layer...maybe more.
Inside it is possible to add shade cloth because there is wood supporting the glass..attaching shade cloth to these might work ??? A bit of work but not like climbing on the roof !
There would be space between the glass and cloth. Hubby has mentioned adding LED lights as an option ,also , but would hate to give up my natural light.
Under the bench he is wanting to replace the shop light setup with LEDs to cut down on heat and also, replacing those bulbs are a pain with him needing to be a contortionist because of the limited work space. What LED lights would you recommend ?
Any and all suggestions are welcomed..help us old people continue to grow orchids !
