It's PVC hoops covered with plastic; I heat it with a kerosene heater at night (needs no heat during the day.) If you want to see how I built it (and get construction details) follow the URL in my sig. It's a sturdy little greenhouse and it only cost me about 200 bucks to build. === Dave Sacerdote davesas@tiac.net Resist or Serve.
