Thanks! It's a 10x12 harbor fright polycarbonate greenhouse; it's great and doesn't cost too much for a greenhouse. You do have to make some modifications to improve it's strength, but it's definitely worth it.

very nice Ramispina & I love all your red VFTs!

What way do you have it facing (from looking out the entrance/door point of view)...or does that not really matter? Also do you have it by anything that shades it for part of the day or does it receive full sun for the whole/most of the day? Sorry for all the questions!

Great setup and collection! So happy I got Maroon Monster!

From the entrance point of view, the door faces east. I did this so I could have one of the 12 foot walls facing north; that way I could place more insulation on the north wall. The greenhouse does get full sun for most of the year, although my garage will shade the greenhouse for part of the day during the time of year when the sun is lowest in the sky (December-January). That's the drawback to the location of the greenhouse, but the benefit of that location is it receives the most sunlight of any other spot in my backyard during the spring, summer, and fall
