Hello, new here-

I have been searching the web for weeks now, trying to find the best way to add a greenhouse to my garden. I stumbled onto this site, and after reading a handful of threads, Figured its just best to ask for opinions directly related to my situation.


About me-

I live in Indiana, in flat, open corn country. Wind is constant here it seems, and takes a toll on young plants. I have several acres of open land, and plan to place my greenhouse within 100ft of my barn that has water/electric. I mainly want to extend my growing of (hot)pepper plants and tomatoes as much as possible. I would like to dabble with the idea of over winter with specific cold weather plants, but, not a necessity.

I am really handy and have a shop full of tools, and work as an industrial engineer. The idea of designing my own and building it are part of my options, but, I do like easy as well!


I thought I had decided on a "Climapod" due to cost and available sizes, but the more I read the shadier it seems. Most good reviews seem tied to the company itself, so I'm very leery. I've started looking into options like the Growspan round premium, but, the prices really get up there. I'd like to spend less that 6,000, and get the most room possible. I'm trying to get in the 200-250sq ft or better range.


What are the best options, and things to consider based on my budget, wants and location?


Thanks in advance!!
