necronx99 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Size, scale, use? Commercial ones are available at every price range or Somchai can knock you up something from bamboo and plastic sheet foe a few thousand baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop1 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks, necronx99, what i am looking at is a little more up market than a bamboo structure, and i dont want to spend 1million tbt, what i am thinking about is like a shed built 20mtr L x 7mtR W x 5mtR H, and sheeting it with polycarbonate roofing and walls, and have bug mesh in spots for ventilation, do you have a website in thailand , that i could look at, do grow in a one? cheers Scoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo99 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thanks for that, do you grow in one , and how is it working They work fine with temperature control sorted. how big is it and what are you growing ? Current one is 10x5x4 growing chilli, pepper and tomatos. Bamboo and plastic sheet. Sorry no pics. I'm looking for something a bit smaller, just for growing some tomatoes ... How high does the top need to be off the ground to prevent excess heating? I'm thinking a 3x3 meter area for a couple raised beds. My peppers are doing ok, as of now... in the shade Probably not so well once the rain really starts up though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
