Default Greenhouse advice sought

I have access to all manner of construction. *Wood frame. *Steel frame.
Poly pipe frame. *I would like to have it approximately 600 square feet..

Can you please refer me to resources that explain the basics so I can get
started on this?

TIA

www.growersupply.com Got all you need to start. Some a bit spendy
but you can search their products and ferret out other sources,

Cropking is another, really spendy stuff, but they can give ya a
turnkey opn if your are looking.

Do youtube videos on Greehhouses. Slick ideas in some. Do look at
some hydro setups, good ideas in them too.

Gardenandgreenhouse.net Free Mag. one half ass article every other
issue,with 20 ads per each. least you don't pay for it.

Do build as big as you can, it will soon get crowded.

They are so nice to be in early spring ... say Feb/Mar. All your
flats srpouting, Winterovers showing new growth. Ya feel like your
two timing on Mother Nature.
