I ended up just using this on a wood frame.

2017-09-29 04:58:11 UTC  

A full canvass structure wouldn't work. You need the light at all periods of the day otherwise most of the plants in the greenhouse won't get enough light to produce fruit.

2017-09-29 04:58:49 UTC  

Yeah, just make window panels. It would be fine.

2017-09-29 04:58:59 UTC  

Not as good as an all clear structure obviously.

2017-09-29 04:59:58 UTC  

I think in general it's better to use solid materials if you have the option.

2017-09-29 05:00:06 UTC  

You could probably get away with windows if you only used shade tolerant plants. You'd want plants that only need 3 or 4 hours of sunlight.

2017-09-29 05:01:04 UTC  

If I made one here with windows in the sides and roof, it would get much more than 4 hours a day.

2017-09-29 05:01:54 UTC  

So, a clear roof with windows every few feet?

2017-09-29 05:02:59 UTC  

Maybe, I'm not sure. That sounds about right.

2017-09-29 05:03:06 UTC  

MAybe every foot.

2017-09-29 05:03:17 UTC  

The sides would still have to be mostly plastic.

2017-09-29 05:04:04 UTC  

Yeah, probably not a great idea. Too much work. Just build it with solid shit..kek

2017-09-29 05:04:12 UTC  

Oh shit, What if we used chicken wire attached the frame with plastic over that?

2017-09-29 05:05:05 UTC  

That would definitely give it some strength. You could even make a few vent slits for wind resitance that way.

2017-09-29 05:05:42 UTC  

Yeah, I can't believe that I didn't think of it sooner.

2017-09-29 05:05:46 UTC  

How big are you trying to go here?

2017-09-29 05:06:22 UTC  

Actually now that you mention it, I know someone who has one with chain link inner walls.

2017-09-29 05:07:07 UTC  

He didn't use plastic on the outside though. I think it was a conversion from an old chicken coup.

2017-09-29 05:07:27 UTC  

Well at least 6 feet tall at the apex. I have no Idea how wide to make it.

2017-09-29 05:07:38 UTC  

How much room do you have?

2017-09-29 05:07:51 UTC  

1 acre

2017-09-29 05:07:54 UTC  

kek

2017-09-29 05:08:09 UTC  

Dude, just build something permanent.

2017-09-29 05:08:51 UTC  

No, I live on an acre and a half if you include the house. I can't, I don't own the land.

2017-09-29 05:09:03 UTC  

Oh.

2017-09-29 05:09:12 UTC  

Renting fucking sucks.

2017-09-29 05:09:25 UTC  

Yeah.

2017-09-29 05:09:34 UTC  

It has it's place though.

2017-09-29 05:10:22 UTC  

Plus, I have a few large trees in the yard so making something that could move would be better.

2017-09-29 05:12:17 UTC  

I have to ask, are looking to do something like orchid's plan? Or, are you gonna come be Bear Grills with ramen and me?

2017-09-29 05:13:40 UTC  

I'm good either way tbh, whatever works out best. I think some civilization is probably good to have relatively near though.

2017-09-29 05:14:45 UTC  

We aren't moving to Alaska, so there will always be civilization near by.

2017-09-29 05:14:52 UTC  

I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to learn most of the basic skills needed to "homestead", but I don't mind city living either.

2017-09-29 05:16:19 UTC  

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but something like this http://www.eugsters.com/ has the ability to make a ton of money if we're close enough to a large city.

2017-09-29 05:16:40 UTC  

It's 10 mins from where I live.

2017-09-29 05:17:21 UTC  

When you say "a ton" of money, how much are you thinking?

2017-09-29 05:18:23 UTC  

KEK "Come Visit the White Nationalist Petting Zoo! Fun For All Ages!"

2017-09-29 05:19:42 UTC  

I don't even care about the money, that would be fun and awesome.

2017-09-29 05:20:29 UTC  

enough to justify purchasing land to make something like this. Any left over produce can be eaten or fed to pigs. It also lets us establish a way to show that we aren't just a bunch of ted kacynski inspired skinheads.

2017-09-29 05:20:50 UTC  

It would be all wholesome white families. No boons screaming about not getting enough food pellets.
