The Roof and West Wall

The roof panels get covered with SunTuf White

The finished panels installed

 

The door is installed, and the walls begin to take shape. 

The TufTex  from Lowe's is quite transparent.

 

You might ask why I used SunTuf from Home Depot on the roof, and TufTex from Lowe's for the walls. Both are polycarbonate material, almost identical in price. Home depot does not stock white closure strips for their products. I did not want to use brown or gray closure strips under transparent siding.

I also noticed that the "clear" SunTuf at Home Depot appears to be a smoky gray color. I wanted the walls to be as transparent as possible. I can add any shading as needed. I wanted to roof to be white, with its 45% shading already built in. One might wish to use a transparent roof in a cooler climate, but here in the central valley, the summer sun is very intense.

The West wall was the most difficult to cover, with the door and swamp cooler openings. The remaining walls should be completed very soon.

 

I am getting excited about the prospect of having a working greenhouse soon!
