Looks great!
I wonder if the wind will go in the sides and tear it up?

Thanks. I'm pretty confident that the greenhouse poly will hold up. It seems really tough.

How many mils thick is it?
I have a 22 mil tarp over my hoop coop and 6 mil on the N end
hope it will hold in the winter storms

Looks like it is better than my roll of $12 farm and fleet 6 mil plastic sheeting.... make sure to let us know how it is in the spring

Will do. We gave some scraps the redneck quality test. I'm betting that it'll do just fine.

I'm almost afraid to ask. What's the redneck quality test?

Little Thanksgiving morning project. Finally got around to making the swing. I saved a chunk of wood from a limb that broke off a tree earlier in the year. Drilled a coupla holes, bit of rope and it's a swing.
