Greenhouse insulation advice
« on: September 22, 2007, 20:47 »
I've just spent this afternoon cleaning  my greenhouse and removing all the shading etc.

I want to insulate it for winter (but not just yet, trying to plan ahead!) and the only method I've heard of is bubble wrap. Does anyone know if there are other, better methods? or if bubble wrap is the way to go, a good source?
Other than the insulation it will be unheated. I think it's 10x8.

Thanks

you can use plastic sheeting hanging it up with silicone sealant over winter . or polystyrene sheeting on the sides  to keep the cold wind from dragging the warmth out .with ashet of plastic over the roof ( inside ) werrks for me
