Re: greenhouse

Debbie,
well heating needs will be based on the size of the greenhouse and the
glazing used.
Obviously Polycarbonate insulates better 6mm plastic :-)

My houses are all atlas frames, www.atlasgreenhouse.com
check them out... mighty sturdy frames and nice folks.
For a small house I'd use a radiant heater on a thermostat, but in a larger
house or, like in your need one that must stay 70 degrees I would go with an
LB White ventless heater.  Runs off of Propane or Nat gas, REALLY efficient
and bout $500 for a 150,000 btu model.

> Ok guys, I'm a lurker, but need some greenhouse suggestions too. (Hi
Betsy) My problem is keeping my "stuff" warm enough in the winter months. I
live in Miami, but am planning to move a bit further north within the next
few years (tired of Miami "banana Republic politics). Probably up to Ft.
Pierce area. I need to keep a greenhouse, barn, whatever I decide to build,
at 70 degrees or more during the winters. Does anyone know the best course
of action to accomplish this? Am thinking I may have to build an atrium as
part of the house. PS. This effort/expense will be done to accomodate my
tropical frogs, not the ferns, but essentially the same problem. Thanks,
Debbie Lamb
