I have considered a solar greenhouse. With the wind here I would need to use something like double pane sliding glass doors or windows.

Yes, they will loosen and blow away, if they are built of the fiberglass.

Don’t give up on the glass doors, join your local Free Cycle group and ask for them, for folks will give them away, I see it all the time in our local group.

Several greenhouses in this area are being built of all Free Cycle materials, a little at a time.

If you don’t know about Free Cycling, let me know and I will get you a link, it is for giving away what you don’t want and getting what you do want, instead of sending it to the dump.

My solar greenhouses came from a book on greenhouses designed for Colorado and the fiberglass will work, if you watch for loose nails, but they will work loose, in a year of so of wind.

With no man here to nail them down and me too old for going on the roof, mine blew away.
