New aquaponic greenhouse design


The work on final design of the greenhouse, that will ensure stable environment and enable continuous growing season all year, is still in progress.


Original design included anteflexion of 16,5° which allows better permeability of light during winter months. I still inquire about possible prices but the construction itself – either wooden or steel is quite complicated and expensive at the same time.


However, a skillful handyman contacted me with an idea how to connect concave polycarbonate boards, which have an advantage over glass in heat insulation and flexibility


We tried together to design a self-supporting construction of the greenhouse which will be arched and anchored to back wall. This will  eliminate the need to build an inner construction and therefore save a lot of work, material and subsequently money.



Arched construction is also more effective in absorbing sun light during the whole year.
Original antiflexion roof was optimized for two extremes – winter and summer solstice. However, during the period between those two extremes the sun beams drop under different angles and the greenhouse would reflect them away.




Back supporting wall, which will face into the garden, will be covered by ivy, which stays green throughout the year, so that the greenhouse will not clash with the rest of the garden.



Fingers crossed.
