Hi! Tim, Sounds like your doing a great job there. I am building a tropical greenhouse in costa rica. I have found a fine mesh screen readily available at several hardware stores.

Hi! Tim, Sounds like your doing a great job there. I am building a tropical greenhouse in costa rica. I have found a fine mesh screen readily available at several hardware stores.

I made mine 20 by 40 feet and used the 3 inch galvanized perling for all walls (set in cement) and roof supports. I realize its slightly more costly in the short term, just don't like having to rebuild things after 2 or 3 years in this climate with wood or bamboo. Will use plastic sheet for roof, UV resistant would be nice if you could find it. Also the green saran covering I would like to roll on during heavy sun heat, roll off for cloudier periods. I don't know what I'm doing but couldn't find anyone else that knew any more. Check my pictures out, will add more soon. Best Wishes
