My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

10x12 HFGH survived some big wind

16 years ago

Just wanted to give a big thank you to gardenerwantabe. We have had 50 plus mph winds here for past day starting late last evening and I was nervous, you know the feeling, "what will I wake up to?" Fortunately I took his pool cover idea this winter and I'm sure it saved my HFGH. I have a clear pool cover running up the sides and over the peak. The ends are not covered but the panels are all taped with clear weather proof tape. The method used to hold the pool cover in place is 1/2" aluminum angle screwed into the frame over the perimeter of the pool cover. This really seals the panels and prevents the wind from lifting any of the panels. I now feel confident that short of a tornado this GH and its' panels aren't going anywhere. Bring on the warm spring weather!
