Hello all-
I posted an ad in my local Craigslist for a used Carport Frame. I had his gal respond to my ad, said she had a disassembled frame that blew over in the wind. One of the poles was bent, which worked fine for me because I only needed 3 of the 4 upright sections per side for my grow area, so it's a 10' x 14' carport/greenhouse now. She was asking $15 for the disassembled frame. I jumped of that offer like it was a $20 bill lying on the ground.
Got it home, assembled it, and put 4ml plastic over the top. I will put 4ml plastic on one side to act as a visual barrier sometime next week. The 4ml plastic is hard to see through, so it should act good as a visual barrier. My garden area looks like a "greenhouse city", I have plastic over the cage right now, the new jj style carport, and the "sliding glass door" greenhouse are all lined up in a row.
The carport did the job last night, we got just under a half inch of rain last night, and snow levels down to 3000ft expected tonight. I think I got it up JUST IN TIME!
I will get pictures soon, the area is a mess right now, between construction, digging bigger holes, getting the girls into the ground, I'm in the middle/end of my spring harvest, and my vegetable garden is in that area too, I haven't had a chance to clean the area up.
I'll be back soon-
