We used double pane glass doors as the covers. The first one has two doors end-to-end, so it's 14 feet long. The new ones are just one door each, so they're only 7 feet long, and much lighter. We just build an A-frame structure out of 2x4s, build end-caps out of two triangles of plywood with foam insulation between them, and then the doors fit onto the sides, lying down length-wise. If you have an area that gets good sun, they will get hot, even when it's cold outside. A few days ago, it was 49 degrees outside, and 85 degrees in our greenhouse. Hi Alissa,

He wants to know what you used to cover them. We have a million tomatoes that haven't ripened yet, and we're quickly approaching frost time. Any chance you'll be posting a picture when you're done? :) Thanks! Alissa Hey Frugal Babe,
