About
I test greenhouse kits against real weather and translate specs into outcomes you can trust. I helped refine our Four Seasons Score to reflect actual load, thermal, and assembly realities.
Core Beliefs
Climate should dictate structure and envelope—measure first, then choose.
Background
A late-April blizzard blew 55 mph across my test site. I logged snow load deformation on three kits and watched one pop a purlin. The two with cross-bracing and proper anchors kept shape. When the melt came, inside temps bounced back fast. Data—not vibes—changed my buying list.
Perspective
I favor kits with verified wind/snow ratings, cross-bracing, and documented thermal performance over aesthetics.
