Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Now i found a good 5mx1.2m plastic green house "tunnel" on ebay for $39.

Have a look at the pic and tell me which one would be best.

I think the first setup where there is individual green houses might be best but they have 2 open walls on each green house(i could have 1 with no open walls), where as the second one has 2 open walls as well but i may be able to cover them.

What do you guys think?

Thats not a good greenhouse... Might as well buy a roll of wire and some glad wrap, far cheaper.. How about poly pipe bent over your growbeds, you can just cable tie it to the IBC frames, that will make a nice arch, then use some OK plastic and a length of poly making the plastic like one of those outdoor awnings... So you can roll the whole plastic up the arches when you want to access the beds..

Dunno if that makes sense, it does to me..

agree with EB, by the time you pay postage could buy a roll of UV resistant heavy duty clear plastic for that price.

Hey EB thats the problem i cant seem to locate green house plastic in syd.... Any ideas?

Also on the listing it had it as UV resistant polyethylene.

Yellow pages? Dunno, shouldn't be to hard to find..

I've just seen those sorts of greenhouse things before and the plastic will not even last you one season..

What about Redpath? Not Sydney but I am sure they will deliver.

You would probably find the amount you need in their bin...

Redpath often offers "end of roll" or "off cuts"... on eBay.... and will send to you....

How much do you need Hui??

If you have any there, nursery supply companies might be worth a try. Usually good for shade cloth as well. They might be wholesale only.

Only need about 5-6m long and maybe 2m wide

Just had a look at redpath. I hate sites that dont have prices.

Does anyone know if their catalogue has prices?

That makes it tougher but sometimes this is sold by the linear ft (or meter in your case). Might find this at a hardware store since people like to make cloches for their garden (my local hardware store has 12ft wide sold by the linear foot).
