RE: Greenhouse plans 2019 - Part 3
This is a really sweet design! I like your slanted windows for maximal solar gain. The vent in the door is a good idea to let excess heat escape. In fact, I would put some of those above the windows too, or into the roof. How about those water tanks? Do you want to use them for thermal mass as well? Just being exposed to the winter sun would warm them up to raise the inside temperature of the greenhouse.
But please don't let my sudden brainstorm distract you from your plans. I'm excited to see the development of this awesome project. Oh, btw, I love your cad renditions. It makes it all so easy to visualize.
Hey thanks for the kind words, both your ideas on the vents are great and ill try and work them in once i get to that stage, yeah the water butts are for added thermal mass so im interested to see how it works out once in place, i have the same setup in the current greenhouse and it makes a slight difference but its not insulated currently .
Keep your eyes peeled for the next update in a few days 🙂
