| That is DYI... Cape Cod from BC Greenhouses. I contacted BC Greenhouses after reviewing what was available from other companies. This is my 3rd greenhouse. Started YEARS ago with a quonset hut I built. Then onto an "english" aluminum/glass 8X10, again that I built. I chose the Cape Cod model due to the steep roof pitch to aid the snow in sliding off which is just what it does. The center ridge is almost 14' high which allows for very tall plants. Bought this time from BC due to there service and the structure itself which is VERY strong. Did not want to be dealing with snow load issues etc etc etc. Been there done that and it's no fun. I opted for a knee wall at the base which is 30" high, ( 2X6 construction, insulated, anchored to cement posts). I had that built by a friend. I assembled the frame with the exception of the roof rafters and ridge which was again done by a friend.
I installed the furnace (Garage Guy Vented and burns outside air also one size higher than recommended). I believe the flue has what is called a concentric vent pipe. Not fun to install and the furnace hangs from the roof rafters, also not fun to install but if I can do it anyone can. The gas line and electrical was done by a pro due to code requirements. Last night we dropped to 2 degrees and the Greenhouse temp never fluctuated at all.
