A roof over our heads.

March 9, 2010

This weekend we had great weather & it provided us with the perfect opportunity to replace the cover on one of our greenhouses. From time to time it is essential to replace the cover in order to ensure our plants are protected.

What a beautiful day!! Time for the plants to get a little fresh air.

Installation-team

Here’s our installation team planning their next move.

One layer of film has been installed, the work has just begun.

Tim-fixing

There’s Tim working out some of the kinks in between layers.

bubble-up

We worked until after the sun went down & this is the finished product. Two layers of film with an air bubble in between.

The bubble increases the insulation of the greenhouse & helps to control the condensation inside the greenhouse.

Now our little plants will have the shelter & warmth they need to grow into the beauties you will plant in your gardens.
