Great greenhouses!

This is a home made green house made out of opaque fiberglass. The mid section has windows installed 360 degrees. Windows have screens and can open and close. Located in the back right of the garden, with the fence running on the right and aft of the structure. There are two green house doors that are glass screen doors, one in the front of the green house and one in the back. An old style free standing 1950's gas heater keeps it warm in the winter. To humidify the green house I put a large cattle drinking trough in the back of the green house which has a pond pump for circulation and minnows called mosquito fish (for that reason).
The green house is anchored with cement, rocks on the floor inside with adjustable wood shelving. The green house is very sturdy and weathers the Hurricanes better than other structures.
Since the green house is opaque fiber glass, I use it as a lighting feature, and have colored florescent light bulbs that illuminates it at night with a pleasant glow. The colors are changed through out the year.
From time to time, I put decorations on the front.
