    I'm looking to build a separate greenhouse for my cool-growers. Thinking about something 20 ft long and 8-16 ft wide. Currently, I'm growing them in a basement. After talking to folks who used to run Hoosier Orchids, I have an idea how to cool it down pretty well but I don't know which kit would be the best. Looking to save as much money as possible, though. :)
    Thanks!

    I am a fan or Turner Greenhouses, out of Goldsboro, NC, and Gothic Arch out of Mobile AL is also highly rated.

    A word to the wise: the closer you can come to structure that is more square than long and narrow, and as tall as you can make it, the more thermally stable it will be.

    I have a polycarbonate greenhouse from Arcadia Glasshouse (OH) and have been very pleased.

    Thank you both.
    Looks like Turner Greenhouses is permanently closed.

    Interesting. The website is still fully functional.

    I do know that Goldsboro was heavily flooded from Hurricane Florence. May that’s what did them in.
