Paul, I do not personally have any greenhouses
from Ledgewood Farms but know of several growers who do. They are very
happy with them. I am sure their High Tunnels are of the same quality. We
have cemented the posts to all of our greenhouses into the ground because
it has always been recommended to do so. A lot of work, but worth the
peace of mind with our climate. I suppose you could cement the end posts
and some in the middle if you didn’t want to do all of them. Around
here I have heard of it being done both ways. Kathy Somers Family Farm From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org
[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Bock, Paul Hi people, I am thinking of putting up one of those Ledgewood
High Tunnels from Ed Person up in The basic design calls for the posts to be driven in
the ground. But my building inspector doesn't want to approve a permit
for the design without the posts being set in concrete. He wants them to
be set at least at 42" deep to be below the frost line. He is using
the common sense advice about shallow set fence posts that need to be reset
each year. Around here, (western Have people had good success with wiggle wire to lock
in the poly? I have seen several commercial greenhouses on the way to
work that use it so that makes me feel better about using it. -Paul Bock |
