My GH is 10' x 10'. Pretty small but I really like it. It's pretty air tight. The covering is all one piece with a big zippered window and large zippered door and has foot wide flaps all around that lay on the ground with concrete blocks on the flaps. The covering slips over a pipe frame. I chose this one for the quick assembly and take down time, plus I thought it would hold up to our winds well, which it does.

I also took a couple of big sheets plastic and draped it over the pipes under the covering and then pulled it out a little to create an air pocket between it and the covering. There's two 70 gal(?) open containers of water in there too. They don't appear to warm up any, but they are white and I don't want to paint them. I'll check the water temps soon, but so far they haven't had any ice, whereas the same containers I have outside had quite a bit of ice this morning.
