Didn't get to look through all photos but what did you use for ventilation? What are some of the ways you plan on using it? Since my climate is similar to yours I was wondering what could possibly survive in there in June-August...
Plastic alone would not work here in Atlanta because of the squirrel pressure. So I needed glass.

Ventilation: I have two windows in the ceiling that pop up on hinges, and a door and opening window in opposite walls. But I don't intend to use the greenhouse in summer - it is mostly shaded. It works as a greenhouse only when the leaves are off the trees, which is when I need it.
