I was going to use self-tapping screws to attach the covering.

I was going to go 3' on center, but will now do 24". Someone suggested using a short row of blocks, or bricks around the bottom to hold heat. Then build the frame on top of the blocks.

Thanks for your input.

I live in Southern Colorado near the mountains and plan on building a greenhouse.

I was going to build the frame out of Chain Link top rail, or posts, and cover it with Soleex. I was planning on welding the rails together. I want straight walls with a sloped roof like a conventional house. That way I can walk near the walls without ducking.

I was thinking about a 10x16. I will have automated vents on top.

I am looking for opinions on using welded top rails, and coverings.

I found a couple of companies that sell connector kits, but I thought welded would be stronger. We get 100 mph winds almost every year, and a fair amount of snow. We also have bears and deer that hang out in our yard at times.

I have welded galvanized in the past so I am familiar with the process and prep required.

I plan on putting a concrete footer around the edges to anchor to.

Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated. I did search top rail but most people use a bender.

Thank you for your help.
