My Almost Complete Greenhouse

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to share some pictures of my almost complete Greenhouse. It's a Palram Orangery purchased through Lowe's.

As the factory provided walls were extremely thin single layer poly I installed 8mm double wall on the inside to provide an additional layer of insulation. I still need to install shade cloth but want to figure out a way to make it retractable.

If anyone is interested I installed the below in this build.

- Power and Water run to each side of the GH

- Beds and irrigation are from Vego Garden controlled by a LinkTap 4 zone system

- Installed a 16" AC Infinity exhaust fan and a 16" intake vent w/ motor

- 4 AC Infinity 9" circulating fans

- AC Infinity Thermoforge S7 for heating

- Setup cooling with a Hessaire 3100 cfm swamp cooler

I have all the above excluding the irrigation automated by an AC Infinity Controller AI+.

Polycarbonate Related Question

Hey Everyone,

We recently purchased a Palram/Canopia Victory Orangery greenhouse and I just finished up the construction (PITA BTW) and have a question related to insulation.

This greenhouse comes with 2mm transparent polycarbonate panels for the walls which I'm sure won't provide much insulation in the winter months. We are in Zone 6B. So do y'all think I would still have enough light transmission if I were to install clear twin wall poly panels on the inside of the greenhouse too?

I believe most clear twin wall poly transmits around 80% of light and the thin 2mm poly already installed transmits 90%. Would this mean I'll only have 70% if I went this route? Thoughts?
