How Do You Put Plastic On A Greenhouse?
A greenhouse is a simple way to give plants an early start and to extend the growing season past the first and last annual frost dates of an area. If you’ve ever gotten into a parked car and noticed that the interior was warmer than the air outside, you are already familiar with the way in which a greenhouse works. Greenhouses warm the atmosphere inside the structure by forcing sunlight to pass through a layer of clear material such as glass or plastic. The more clear layers that sun has to pass through, the warmer the internal temperature of a greenhouse becomes. Calculate the total surface area of the greenhouse that the plastic will need to cover by measuring the side lengths and multiplying them together to figure out the total square footage of a side. Then add all the square footage of all sides together to figure the total length. For example, if you are covering a hoop house, you should calculate the length of the house (A) by the width of the arch (B) to get your answer (C). T
