Now it looks like the picture below. I only throw an electric heater in it in the spring, and I have an automatically controlled exhaust fan in it. I have thought of adding the bubble wrap to the inside of the twinwall as I get it free at work too, however, I wondered how to keep all the small pieces together, I picture a mess of small sheets hanging loose all over the place, or I considered buying it in a large sheet. One thing I'm not sure how to handle, is the peak is sort of open, I need to find a way to close it up, but right now it works as an escape for some of the hot air. I do use a shade cloth later in the summer, it's small enough to just toss it over and hang weights on the 4 corners to secure it.

I thought I may look into a small misting system to control humidity and cool it also. I mostly use it for growing on seedlings in the spring. Don't heat at all in the winter.

Is that your rain barrel on the corner? I have a neat set up at the back of my garage, a rain barrel with a soaker hose attached to water my hostas under a couple of large trees. Legit
