Hi Dave, I have the HFGH 10x12, and the part numbers do vary from your 6x8, but I believe the corner posts fit together into the frame the same way. Here's a link to the part of my blog that shows photos of my framework going up. Scroll down a bit to see some close up pics of the corner posts, and maybe you can see from my pictures what you need to know. Part Three, Assembling Greenhouse Walls Sometimes the pieces in the HFGH kit don't go together the way you think they would, intuitively (one reason we wrote a blog to help folks with the awful HFGH manual.) It's very confusing. However, I have yet to hear of a single case where the kit parts have been miss-drilled, if that's of any comfort. If the photos in my blog don't help, post back and I can take more pics of my greenhouse, but I'm hoping you'll find some help in the blog pictures.

A recent update from the person who received the yucca is that it is green and doing well. The transplanted cholla are doing well, of course, but it will be a while before I know if any sacaton survived. We have been making progress but not as quickly as we hoped. (No surprise there! ;-) ) We have the foundation blocks for the outside beds in place up to ground level and filled with dirt. Pavers have been placed, but not yet leveled, between the existing shed and the north edge of the foundation. We have the water and electrical stubbed in. We have the SHCS tubes in place for the outside beds of the east greenhouse and hope to start filling that section soon with the removed dirt. We have removed all planned use of poured concrete from our plans and have made this planned structure possible to remove easily while still unlikely to be blown away. (Mostly due to bolting the foundation via J-bolts to rebar under bond beam cement blocks.) DH will be checking to see what type of permits/inspections we will need for electrical, water, and structures. I suspect that it will be just water and electric. We won't fill in any more until we find out. It is getting hot already so we will be putting in the outside structure and shade cloth before the central shed and greenhouses. That way we can work in the shade. :-)

Hello all, I am not new to the garden web but I am new to this forum. I'm a fig farmer and that is all I grow. I am excited to hear about this coupon and can't wait till tomorrow to get the mag. I built a 6 x 8 greenhouse last summer. I wasn't as lucky as you guys getting a greenhouse for this price; however I am considering buying this greenhouse too. Anyway, I got mine from Sam's on sale for 599. After buying mine, I let it sit outside for about a month before I built it. Why? Well, I'm sorta a perfectionist. I wanted to make sure it was built right. The hardest part building a greenhouse is building the base. After researching the web nightly, I decided to sit mine down on pressure treated 4 x 4s. I had to put 10mil plastic between the greenhouse and the 4 x 4s. Why? Because the chemical in the lumber would eat up the aluminum in the greenhouse. I also laid down 2 layers of weed guard. I secured the base in the ground using rebar and large "U" nails. In the pic below, you can see the gray 5mil tarp that I doubled as a barrier. The date in the pic should say 2009, not 2008. I'll post a pic tomorrow of the finished product with trees inside. I had a wind problem but solved that with liquid nails and rubber cement. thanks Dennis Here is a link to it before I added all the pavers: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/fig/msg0821111813764.html

I'm in zone 4, have a glass 8 by 12 foot greenhouse, not sealed well. I have a 30,000 vent free propane heater,that I only use last week in March through middle of April for seedlings. During the day, if the sun isn't out, it usually stays on pilot. It does come on a lot in the night. It really doesn't blow heat out far from the heater, it goes almost straight up so I don't have to worry that much about it being too close to the plants. I have to put it about 1/3 of the way towards one end, otherwise the rising heat makes my auto vent open up. I usually use about one 20lb. tank every 2 days in March, then it begins to last longer when it gets into April. The longest it lasts is 4 days, and then I usually turn it off during the daytime, and relight at night. It keeps my gh at just about 55 in the night, not much more. The pilot stays on at around 50 or higher. I try and rotate 3 tanks so I don't run out. I don't bother with large tanks since I only heat it for 3 weeks or so. I put my orchids in it for the spring-fall. I'm posting this so you can have an idea of what you might be looking at, although your house is half the size of mine, maybe this will be helpful. M
