You can continue to put your dark colored shade cloth on the inside and I will continue to suspend a white one over my GH and we can both be happy. Do you always put words in other people's mouths? I never said such a thing, and I don't see anyone else saying the same thing? You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. I prefer: You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think. My point was simply that at least here, aluminet is about ten times more expensive than shadecloth, and there has been no compelling evidence that it is better. (no, neither SHOUTING nor 'I've always done it that way' are compelling evidence) I ask 'why bother?'. Does aluminet last longer than shade cloth? scratch less? weigh less? Are there any good reasons to use it besides being shiny? I would guess that it is more likely to scratch as aluminium is harder than polycarbonate, whereas shadecloth is made from polyester or PET. (From memory, aluminet does scrunch up well removing the need for a rolling mechanism, but then, even time I've seen it used, it was used on the inside - maybe it degrades faster in UV or something) Clavero: good idea. be persuaded by facts, not by who says what :)

I e-mailed Nicole Sullivan at Gothic Arch and asked her if a lot of their materials came from Farmtek. I guess they sell some of Fram-Teks greenhouses, but not a lot of their stuff comes from there. Also, please do not make the mistake of thinking that a Fram-Tek GH will be the same Quality of a Gothic Arch. Farm-Tek GHs are good for certain situations, but it is like the difference btween a Ford Taurus and Mercedes Benz. They both will get you where you need to go, just not the same ride. This is the Reply from her. Laura: We do sell Farm-Tek greenhouses. We offer them for the same price as Farm-Tek though. The customer really pays the same either way. It is just a lot easier for a customer to deal with us than them. You can actually call us and get a real person on the other end of the line. Ha Ha. We really do not stock any supplies here. That is pretty much standard for small greenhouse supply companies such as ourselves because so much of our stuff is custom. That is why we have a lot of people that get exactly what they need in polycarbonate, film and shade cloth. No need to buy what we have in stock, we have it shipped from our suppliers - custom! Thanks for the heads up on FireFox. I will have to download that application to preview my site. And thanks for keeping me posted on whats going on at 'Garden Web". What a great place! I love to read what folks are saying about us and our competition. It is true that the customer has all of the power, especially when it is so easy to let others know what kind of experience you have with a company such as ours. Luckily everyone so far has had very positive things to say about us! Thanks again!

Good luck with your choice. They are all very good choices and very similar. You might have to base the decision on ease of assembly, expansion ability, or just the style. If you winter a lot of stuff, definitely go with 6mm unless the location is very sunny and very well protected. FarmTek also makes a 6mm greenhouse that is comparable to these, but has more height (see link). Here is a link that might be useful: FarmTek Elite Greenhouse
