New Green house/Hoop house Installment!



Through the last month or so, our class has been constructing a ShelterLogic greenhouse.  This has been a pretty big undertaking, and there have been many changes in the course of actions we have decided to take.  We have had many volunteers helping us with the putting up of the hoop house outside of class, however the putting together of the structure has been an in class effort as well, with our building group providing help to those who volunteered.  The house will offer a good, safe place for the plants to grow in the winter.


ShelterLogic greenhouses are  very sturdy with steel stabilizers designed to give solid  anchoring for the frame.  With dimensions of 10 x 19 x 8, the ShelterLogic is known for being relatively easy to erect, as it comes with step-by-step instructions.  Coming with a cover that, has zipper flaps for adjustable temperatures, and protects the plants from harmful UV/UVB rays. Although the cover has not yet been added, this will surely be a helpful asset on the farm.
