6. Windows, French doors, vents, and such. These windows are what I based the whole design of the greenhouse. They’re just under 6ft x 6ft, double paned picture frame windows from Marvin (brand new). I scored 16 of them from an auction ($2000 for all of them).
After house-wrapping the walls, I was able to install all these windows with help from Braddah Chris. The French doors I found on Facebook Marketplace, and they were installed with help from Braddah Scott. The exhaust vent fans are pretty cool, they both can be programmed to turn on and off at different temperatures. They’ll come in handy when we have triple digit summer days.
All the windows, doors, and vents were trimmed out using leftover redwood that I milled down.
I had 3 of the big windows left over which I’ll most likely use on a home addition in the future.

5. Twin-Wall Polycarbonate roof panel system.
I didn’t document all of the steps, but it’s quite involved. Each panel had to be prepped before installing: Cut it to length. Use air compressor to blow the tiny plastic shavings out of each fluted channel. Tape top and bottom edges with vented tape to allow moisture and condensation to exit the flutes, but keep bugs from gittnupindair. Put rigid plastic cap on top and bottom edges of roof panel to prevent critters from gittnupindair. Then there’s a 2 part locking channel that goes in between each panel and attaches to the roof rafter, etc. etc.
Quite involved.
I spaced the roof rafters 24” on center. But didn’t account for the locking channels (which added 3/4” between each subsequent panel). So by the time I reached the far end of the greenhouse, I had to add in a few roof rafters, which was pretty tedious.
The last step was to cut, bend, and attach a metal ridge cap to the peak of the roof in order to waterproof and bugproof the roof ridge. I also added an open celled foam barrier under the metal ridge cap to allow for Hot Air to escape the during the summer, but still prevent bugs and sideways rain from gittnupindair.
