Hey Jerry
Well I really only built the bubble dome for 3 bananas to overwinter that flowered in October
and Novenmber,it's only 10x10x10.
I put a solar pool cover over hog panels then a 6 mil greenhouse poly over the solar bubble pool cover,to make a little airspace between the bubble and greenhouse poly.
All I have heating it is a oil filled radiator,the one from Walmart for 35 bucks,keeps it around 55* no matter how cold it gets so far,heats up to over 80* about everyday if the sun shines,if cloudy between 65 to 70*,had no idea it would work this good.
It lets enough light in for plumerias,Bouginvillas,and hibiscuses to bloom,plus letting th bananas flower and the fruit to keep ripening!
Yep had enough snow and ice for the winter.
Happy New Year to yours also!
