Marianna, where there's a will there's a way. I designed and built my
own
GH
8.5' wide, 29' long and 11' tall, polycarbonate twinwall, electrical,
plumbing, gas heat, swamp cooler, benches the whole enchilada, for about
$4500. Never say die.

Marianna- How are you? Years ago, I considered putting a greenhouse on
my top deck...the estimate I got (and you know these are always
minimum
estimates) was $16,000...and that's before heating, wiring,
etc....then
you have to get permits etc....needless to say, I still don't have a
greenhouse.....Take care, Eric

Yes, it's somewhat pricey, but pays for itself in energy savings quickly.

I would like to thank all of you who responded to my query about a
greenhouse. You've helped me tremendously.

Hum. I'm in Boston, and a 10 x 12 triple-pane greenhouse here runs
$20,000+ after site preparation, electrical, plumbing, and outfitting.
If you're in the city, perhaps you're thinking of converting a room?

Okay, my husband finally had enough of the orchids taking over our living
space and he threatned me with bodily harm g if I don't quit buying them.
We've come to a compromise. A greenhouse. We agreed on no more than $2,000
which should cover the (minimum) heating system for winters, and possibly a
misting system, and fans to circulate the air. I want the greenhouse to be
large enough to accomidate anywhere from 200-500 orchids.
I would love to hear recommendations, pluses and minuses of growing in
greenhouses vs. a house and any other information that you think will be
usefull.

I reside in New York City and have about 400-500sq feet for this plan.

You can respond here or drop me an email in private at grdengrl at optonline

Thank you in advance,
