>I bought a sturdibuilt greenhouse years ago. It was redwood and glass, and

out of room. I loved it, but was impractical for nepenthes.
Why is it impractical for Nepenthes?
>Glass greenhouses are more difficult to heat due to the number
of pieces of glass and the way they're installed.
It sounds like it is more due to the glass not being very good insulators.
>My nepenthes houses
come from Jaderloon and are metal with film for the covering. They are so
much less expensive that a 22' x 45' fully equipped greenhouse costs less
than a small redwood and glass greenhouse with no equipment.
Wow! 22' x 45' is huge! I was looking at something like 8' x 16'.
What kind of film are you using? Do you know its R rating? What kind of
heating and cooling system do you have?
