Q:I live south Alabama and was thinking about this to put my potted plants in during the winter. Will it protect them from the cold?

A: It will but it will not keep them from freezing it temps drop below 32 degrees.

A: Our greenhouses do not regulate temperature
by|May 5, 2023
A: Here's the long answer. You will learn to daily check your computer's 10-day weather forecast and see what the weather and temp is going to be at several times throughout the day for today and tomorrow, so you know if you need to open or close it or put a blanket over it at night.
The plastic will magnify the heat from sunlight during the day and it can get mighty warm, too warm for the plants, even in winter.
But as soon as the sun goes down, it's a different story. The plastic does almost nothing to hold the heat in and it drops to the outside temperature almost immediately. But if you put Remay or some old blankets over it, they will insulate it and hold the heat in pretty well, keeping it maybe 5-degrees above the outside temperature. That makes a huge difference. Enough to save most plants.
That's the final key point right there. The type of plant matters. A banana tree at 20-degrees probably won't make it. But foods like spinach, carrots, lettuce, anything from the brassicas (cabbage family) like Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, corn salad, things underground like rutabagas and beets, and greens like purslane, and so many more. Anything you can grow in fall I suppose will make it through winter in this.
But if you're wondering if you can keep alive something tropical, then no, you are going to need a glass greenhouse that is heated for such things.
So you may be wondering what good this thing is after I tell you all of this. Well, it saves your plants from frost snow and ice storms, bugs, slugs, and snails as well as hornworms and their ilk--diseases and overwatering from the rain. Most plants when they get even a little bit frostbitten turn to mush.
This also will let you get about a month's early start on your transplants, with luck. But you always get more seed than you need in a packet, so if you get horribly unlucky and your transplants get killed, you can always start anew. It lets you heat soil up so that you can get an early start on seeds that just won't start until the soil gets really hot like tomatoes and cucumbers. So maybe you're a little bit limited as to what you can do with it in mid-winter, but you can certainly do some then and you can extend both ends of your seasons and get an early start on the hot summer stuff as well as the fall plantings.
You could increase the shelving simply by cutting a couple of 1/2" thick plywood boards, 12"wide by 56" long and set them both on and crossing the shelves in the back. Presto, 2 more shelves, increasing shelving by 33%. Then you could fabricate another shelf near the top and now you have more than doubled your shelving. But if possible, I would put the wooden shelves on the bottom and the wire shelves on the top, which block less light.

A: Hello Donnie,
This product should be used to protect your plants from rain, winds... It does not have the ability to control temperature and therefore will not protect your plants from the cold

Q:This would be going in my central atrium in the winter only when I am traveling for 1-2 months at a time. I would add a water valve timer and drip line to provide occasional water. I live in south Texas and we get maybe 2-10 nights a year below freezing so this should work.
My question is....during the months that I am there or in the non-winter time when it can get 100 degrees, I would want to take the greenhouse down. HOW EASY IS IT TO DISASSEBLE AND THEN ASSEMBLE AGAIN IN THE LATE FALL?

A: It is very easy but you may want to weigh it down in the windy months. We put 5 gallon buckets of water on the inside frame to keep it from blowing over.

A: Mine is permanent on a cement base. It was easy to assemble so I would assume it would be easy to take down. Suggest a thermostat heater in the winter set at 65 degrees. It is so warm this way the heater don't run all the time. My 3rd year with this and love it.

Q:how much weight will the overhead framing hold,for lighting?

A: The shelves will hold fluorescent shop lights on the underside. I bet the overheard frame would hold fluorescent shop lights down the middle just fine, though I haven't tried and wouldn't recommend it. It would reduce headspace significantly and feel precarious, especially if the greenhouse is situated where there is any wind. If light from high up is desirable, consider clamping lamps to the corner posts. That said, the OGrow is significantly sturdier than the pop up greenhouses that use rods to hold up a skin. Though I don't know the weight it will take in pounds, the OGrow is likely your best bet if hanging lights from the overhead frame of a pop up greenhouse is key to your plans.

Q:Could a 'small' heater be placed in this so that it will protect the summer plant for the winter elements? Plan to use it on the porch and will put up plywood to block the north wind. Also plan on securing it to a base. It is for my 81 year old mom, she has a tiny house and the porch is 5'. She has lots of succulents. Thanks!

A: Depending on how severe your winters are, just a light bulb should suffice to heat this space. Definitely secure to a base, I used the tie downs provided and the first poof of wind blew it over with all my newly planted flats of seeds.
by|May 5, 2023
A: It would have to be a very small, very safe heater like a small ceramic one designed to warm your feet at your office desk. That should do the trick. We used to use those overnight during ice-storms in New Jersey, inside truck mounted steam cleaning carpet cleaning trucks and they had about the same amount of airspace, and a dinky ceramic heater would keep the whole truck piping hot. If you put something like a radiator heater, a powerful electric, or a propane heater in it, it will melt the plastic, probably catch it on fire and then catch the porch on fire.
