I am biased in that I own and also worked with Harnois greenhouses for 
several years traveling most of the U.S. and seeing what happens to 
greenhouses foul weather events. In quality structures the answer is "very 
little".

In an Harnois Ovaltech house you can stand up straight and walk all the way 
to the side wall, in most others you have to bend down to do anything within 
several feet of the wall.

This straighter wall also makes roll up side vents much more effective.

Harnois makes a quality structure, they can and  will provide signed and 
sealed engineering documents as to its design. If others cant or wont, there 
is probably good reason!

I did wood heat for several years ( one season here I had 7 wood fires to 
tend...dont go there!)but kept wondering why trees had to die to grow 
geraniums, put in a waste oil system which worked well when I went to a 
quarter acre under cover, but here in retirement I will be doing the little 
I do ( a 25 foot section of my 27 x 70 house)with trash wood.

Were I to replace my greenhouses here, today I would have an outdoor wood 
water stove, one that has the options of using an oil, corn, or pellet 
burner. It would be one that is big enough and capable of burning round 
bales of hay!
