>>>on another note we have our greenhouse cover ready but the wind wont give up long enough to attach it.. anyway we are ahead of schedule for our climate (it’s 34 deg now..)<<<

In addition to a low wind condition, please try to pick the warmest day you can to put the cover on. (Looks like Sunday will be nice for you - low wind and 60’s) This will help eliminate some of the flapping from a loose cover which increases the wear and decreases the longevity.

Does anyone have any advice on how to build a greenhouse that will withstand snow on the roof and will also allow the snow to slide off? (We have building codes of 200 lbs/sq. ft.). But the snow needs to get off to let the light in. I'm not sure what kind of material would work.
