Hello everyone, I’m dealing with my first greenhouse. I just added 50% shade cloth and a 2500 cfm exhaust fan. I have 6 automatic roof vents, a gable end vent and 3 solar exhaust fans. I live in West Central Georgia, it’s 85 outside today and 105 in the greenhouse...
Thank you so much Seymour Builders out of Mt. Airy for building my ClimaPod Virtue XL!! You guys did an amazing job in less than 3.5 days!! I give them 5 stars and 2 thumbs up for their knowledge of greenhouses, efficiency, expediency, and hardwork to get it up and me moving in the right direction! Here is the finished product, and pictures from start to finish.
Lots of work going on in the greenhouse. Almost makes sense to always have a week or sometime set aside to just get things done. Had a friend over that helped me mix some soil and load up pots. This year I am trying to turn over my grow bags and pots with potting soil/compost mix. Using raised bed mix previously worked fine but it was heavy with the weight of the sand.
We will see if there is any growth difference in these bags. I hope I'll also be better at keeping things well amended through out the season.
Very happy with the finished product - looks great. I took my time putting it together and suggest watching the YouTube videos. I found the printed instructions to be just ok.
We live in a zone 4 upper area in Kalispell Montana, a bit off grid. The greenhouse was set up this fall, and we waited to see if the heavy snow and negative 35 degrees would damage it!
Wow, I'm impressed with the teardrop design. It kept the snow load off and had no structural damage. I'm just waiting for March to start growing. Stat tune from zone 4. 👌
...The fit and finish of the parts is excellent. Quality of materials is first rate. With common sense and intuitive thinking this is not a difficult task. You will need three people, who have patience and are able to communicate effectively. Start by making sure the foundation has a flat and level surface. In the end, have a high quality greenhouse which will serve you for years. I am so impressed with this greenhouse, if I should ever need another, I will always choose a ClimaPod.
Sherman Elementary School is using a ClimaPod Greenhouse for our Garden Club! It is extremely roomy; the perfect size for our 10 Garden Club students to to learn, work together, and grow plants! We have 450 Zinnias started for our school as well as vegetables for our raised beds. It has already withstood many storms and wind this spring and we look forward to using it for many years to come!
We purchased our greenhouse at the beginning of this season. Assembled in a weekend. If you are not mechanically inclined, I highly suggest watching some videos and such to help you. This is a 2-3 person project to complete. We have gone through some very testing storms this year. Storms that totaled cars and the roof on our house with hail the size of squash balls. That being said, our greenhouse has stood strong with winds in excess of 80mph...
Our Virtue Climapod (9 x 21) is 3 years old and we still love it! We live in the northern area of the United States where we get lots of snow and wind. The greenhouse has not had a problem with the weather to include up to 60 mph wind gusts.
