If the side walls are really pocked (but
the roof isn’t??), I would consider attaching new plastic with a second
set of wood battens, like the current sidewall is attached, except there would
be an edge above instead of coming down from the roof – do get my
thought? Might even cut off the current side wall, though we have double
sidewalls and they roll up fine. They do collect moisture in between though. Beth Spaugh From:

Hi Shelly, I had to do this the very first day the greenhouse was completed and
(for some crazy reason) our puppy attacked the poly on one
side chewing a huge hole in it. Sigh. The patch held for several years. Here's what I did. Clean
and dry the poly so that the repair tape has a surface free of dust (or puppy
slobber). I cut 2 patch pieces of left over poly to cover the
hole and extend beyond the raw edge 3 inches. Tape one piece of poly to
the outside of the greenhouse and tape the other piece to the inside of the
greenhouse. This may be excessive but I was more comfortable knowing that
if the outside piece somehow came off there was still the inside piece to back
it up. Taping the patch piece just to the inside won't work
because rainwater collects between the patch and poly and causes the tape
to fail. Good luck with your repair. Barb Birkinbine Oak |
