Hello busy1, glad you were able to make the modifications your greenhouse needed. Sounds like you've done a really good job. Without the good posts on this site, I don't think I would have tackled the HFGH 10x12. Mine has only been up a few months, and I'm currently working on the heating/cooling/benches set up too, before I move plants in.

What do you think caused the doors to buckle? That's one complaint I haven't read about in many posts.

Welcome to the forum!

What will you be growing in your GH? Is it for tropical plants, wintering over plants or veggies? A mix of all three?

I think the reason the doors buckled is that it was the weakest area at that time. I had some pretty strong gusting winds that day that were pushing straight on the doors.my wife got in it while i was looking for more screws and held them so they didnt blow plumb out ,or in ,as the case was. Luckily the winds subsided around evening and i was able to reinforce them in the dark.

I will be using it to start veggie plants in spring and maybe grow some threw the winter or prolong them as long as i can. I have some tomatoes potted up now and will be my first attempt .

I'm sure as i get more experienced i will expand in to different plants.

Right now i have a 100' extension cord ran to it for elec. The water is nearby with an old kitchen sink on cinder blocks for rinsing and washing stuff. i set it up outside of the GH on the South west corner near the door.

I do have a dedicated breaker for it in my house breaker box but havn't made the effort to did a ditch and run the wiring to it.I have a box mounted on my meter pole that would be a little closer but harder digging(pick&shovel). Maybe i could hook a plow up and at least loosen the dirt up some. Probably just run some 10/2 with ground for lighting /fans as electric heat would be too expensive here.
