Found someone selling the tempered glass panels from patio railings off of high rise apt towers for almost free. I was searching for someone selling a mid sized greenhouse cheap. The panel's are about 1 meter sq. (39"). I'm thinking I will need to build a pretty solid foundation and use 4x4s for supports and just make a solid stud wall on the north side.
A few thoughts I had:
Since the greenhouse would be used for growing vegs in the winter, wouldn't I be best to use 2 pieces with a 1" space between them? Won't that fog up and cut the light coming through? I was thinking that a cheap used solid stove would work for heating. Since this structure is not near the house and uninsured, I can use an older non certified stove.
What's the latest on thin solar panels? Since I already have the tempered glass, I could attach thin solar panels inside when I am not growing.
Any other ideas?
