The roof panels and the side panels are secured to the stone wall, on the three support frames, and by the raised bed using only Velcro taps and clear packing tape. The four front panels are hinged to the roof panels using clear packing tape so that I can open them anytime to get to the plants.

When the weather gets warmer, sometime in May, and the plants get to be very tall, then it's time to remove the entire greenhouse.

Removal is easy. I will just peel off the packing tapes and Velcro taps and all the panels will detach and be stacked and stored away. The entire GH will be re-installed again for winter season growing.

I expect the packing tapes will deteriorate by UV by that time anyway.

The three support frames are secured by six screws top and six at the bottom and can be unscrewed easily.

In our zone 6/7 it doesn't get too much snow and too cold around this time of the year. In your area you probably will need thicker poly-panels. Last night it got to be 26 degrees F outside, and inside the GH it was 38 degrees F. and the plants are doing fine.

Let me know if you have any questions.
