SPECIFICATIONS - NOTES

This prefabricated greenhouse can be added to the south side of an existing house for under $225.

Sides and top roof sections are prefabricated sandwich sections 6" thick, well insulated using an exterior plywood or "Homosote" paperboard facing.

The 4' X 8' clear panels are covered on both sides with #6S greenhouse polyethylene on a 1" X 2" frame. A light, drop blind of framed styrofoam panels can be added to cover the clear panels when the sun is not shining for additional insulation.

All joints between panels should be caulked or sealed with tape to provide as waterproof a joint as possible.

Reflective side of the fiberglass insulation should be to the interior to provide additional light to the plants. Storage cans of water or rock/bricks painted dull black will provide additional heat storage for sunless periods.

Revised August 1981

VITA TECHNICAL BULLETINS

This Technical Bulletin is one of a series of publications that offer do-it-yourself technology information on a wide variety of subjects.

Technical Bulletins are idea generators, intended not so much to provide a definitive answer as to guide the user's thinking and planning. Premises are sound and testing results are provided, if available.

Users of the information are asked to send us their evaluations and comments based on their experiences. Results are incorporated into subsequent editions, thus providing additional guidelines for adaptation and use in a greater variety of conditions.
