It has been a Journey for sure but we are not giving up. the green house has held up to some really heavy winds so i am very impressed with that. we used chain link top rail for the frame and then we got some chain link post that we drove in the ground about 3-4 feet then slid the top rail in the center. it works really well. All together we have about 1,200 dollars in the green house by doing it ourselves.
