I have a small, wooden greenhouse that I use in the spring/summer. The wooden frame stays up year-round. In the spring, I add a plastic covering over the roof and a third of way down the sides to protect from rain.
I’ve been looking for ways to a) more easily and sturdily secure the plastic covering b) allow us to have roll-up sides on the long sides. Narrow ends of greenhouse would stay open.
I uploaded a very poor sketch of what this would look like. Green outlines the roll-up sides. Above that (starting at line “A” and over roof), it’ll be covered with plastic sheeting.
I’m thinking of using wiggle wire for the sheeting but am concerned about wind.
My greenhouse will remain partly open (narrow ends)—is the wiggle wire strong enough to hold the plastic or is it at risk of being torn away? We do get some storms in the summer (Western Europe).
Same question for the roll-up sides. These are going to be long (2/3rds of the height). And, since we need to move them, unattached on the vertical length. I don’t want them to turn into expensive sails! The wooden frame is well-anchored and not going anywhere soon and the base of the sheeting will be as well when rolled-down, but I’d hate to waste the effort and cost of setting up a wiggle wire and roll-up system.
Is this plan reasonable? Any suggestions on how to avoid creating sails welcome.
