Step 6The roof
Actually not a true step... You can build all of your greenhouse during this stuff, If I would have chosen this option, the total costs of this transparent covering would be ca. E 200.
I did not have enough acrylic sheets for the roof, so for me, 11 m was sufficient ( E 66.-). The plastic needs to be applied without too much play. It means fixing it down at every support.
It can be done with strips of plastic, or aluminum, but I was able to secure plenty of high quality, food grade strips of conveyor belt. These belts are fabricated, and subsequently cut to size, leaving beautifully long, high quality strips, thrown into their dumpster!!! The company folks were very helpful, lending clippers and providing a large box to take the strips away!!!
