Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Rain and wind today, lots of rain and lots of wind. Greenhouse destroyed... irreparable.... insert a number of expletives here in bold, underlined and italics.

Bugger that is not good man

Got home a little early tonight. Took a photo...

Some of it looks salvageable. But it sure did make a mess

I bet you felt like the greenhouse looked Quachy, shattered.

Mantis, yeah a little bit here and there, but not much. As soon as that stuff gets a kink in it, structural integrity suffers. I am sure I can use bit and pieces for other projects, after I finish therapy :-)

Faye, yes shattered indeed!

Damn:-o that's a shame. Hope you can salvage something from it. Good luck!

Dunno if you are any good with wood, but I would make a timber frame and use the panels to make a stronger GH. Maybe a laserlite roof, then you could make it even bigger

Ah Quachy, that's tough to deal with. I was meant to get my GH up over the W/E but life got in the way so it is still in the boxes on the back veranda... We've had a lot of wiond over the past 24 hours or so; trees down, some property damage etc.

I said to the missus earlier today when the winds hit that it was a good thing I hadn't got it done as it wouldn't have been completed and so would have been all over North Bendigo instead of in our yard.

Mine is similar, 4.3 x 2.5 x 2.5 high but I'm not leaving a gap under it. I am reconsidering the post issue though - I'm laying 35x90 treated pine along the ground bolted to posts along the length and then screwing the base to that. Now I'm thinking of running posts up along the uprights of the GH and screwing the uprights to them as well.

I'm also going to mark each panel on the UV-treated sifdifference you can see under a magnifying glass? If one side is treated there should be some indication - if they are different in closeup let me know and I will go check mine and let you know which is the treated side.

Commiserations mate, it must have been horrible to go out in the middle of it all and see what was happening.

was going to board the bottom up so that it wouldn't be open, just didn;t get a chance on the weekend. you live and learn....

thanks all :-)

I've seen this before and it always looks bad. Sorry about your greenhouse quachy.

Give a call to the greenhouse company and tell them what happened, maybe they'd be willing to help out with some cheap parts to make the greenhouse useable again. For that matter maybe it's covered under your insurance and they will pay for a replacement.
