| I bought a small (6x8) greenhouse and wife is questioning whether we can add an extension to our raised deck for placement. The greenhouse would be 3-4 feet above ground and if so would insulation be needed on the underside. All thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks. |

| I have had a Rion 8x12 on a wooden deck raised about 8' above ground for about four years. I floored it with gray colored boat carpeting, which is reasonably priced and looks like it is going to last forever. No under floor insulation. The water goes right through the boat carpet. In winter I heat it with two small electric heaters, keeping it at 55F. It did OK on a 20F night a year or two ago. Here are some pix: |

| Thanks billala I bought the Rion EcoGrow about 6x8. I think this is the way I'll go but also thinking instead of decking wood maybe exterior plywood? The only problem I see is water drainage issues. Your pics are great, many thanks. |
