New Greenhouse

[ehanes7612]

Here in San Diego, it about .30-50 cents more per BF for redwood then treated. Pine does all kinds of things as it dries. CA has made it expensive because of the chemicals in the wood. They have also changed to chemical to treat the wood so only last about 5 years or so.

I'm not saying it a bad choose and won't last....

Just my 2 cents......

the stuff i had is graded for decking (HEM FIR) and posting so i think i will be okay and i have used several pieces past 8 months that have been directly exposed to weather and they are holding up well

If you are going to go with treated wood make sure it's kiln dried to moisture content of about 12-18 %. If you can take from the outside of a new stack and as with any wood, put them on dunnage to keep them off the ground and cover to keep the rain off it as you store it.

Actually, when I saw this photo, I was reminded of one of my "summer" greenhouses. It collapsed in a storm just as my glass house was being built. Luckily, there were no plants it it at the time. But it served me well for about 5 growing seasons.

when my neighbors saw this this morning they got worried because we had a nice windstorm last night

measures 9 x 12.5 on bottom..ten feet to six feet slant roof (the sheathing is temporary until get more treated wood (it only acts as insulation around the bottom, not for stability)..i still have to place the exterior roof (6ml plastic for now)...but the slant roof should help with the apples that will come in august..they will just fall down to the back of the yard..and needs a door..the outside plastic is one continuous piece of plastic ..i find its important to have as few breaks and punctures(staples nails etc) in the plastic as possible for when the wind comes

looks great, much improved. nice work putting that up.

How will you vent it to allow for the horizontal wind load?

 

[ehanes7612]

Working on that

the frame isnt going anywhere...and the plastic has enough give to allow for changes in differential pressure ...so we will see

OK. We're expecting 50 MPH winds here Sunday night!
