Well kinda like the other thread with the funding for an aldabra/galapagos exhibit, some of that funding went to a new greenhouse as well. Both slabs are poured for the big boy exhibit, and then heres the new greenhouse foundation.
24x48' with a 3' sidewalk in the middle, leaving 10' deep for each pen. Im going to use landscape timbers to divide the enclosures and space them 1' apart for the tropical plants. I bought a few before construction. I get ahead of myself sometimes, but they were on clearance.
I plan on having the cieling 10', easier to heat. Each long wall will have 3 6'x6' windows, and the short side will have 1 8' door with windows on either side 3'x6'. In my other greenhouses I have used irrigation systems mounted on the cieling to water the entire enclosure, but this time I was thinking of placing it either on the walls to shoot down, or in each of the planter/dividers for each pen. I want good coverage. But I dont like going out of my box that has already worked.
Any suggestions are always welcomed.
And I will keep everyone posted on the progress, same with the other building(it was raining so I didnt make it down to the mud pit for photos)
AND jacqui theres my mom a working
