Make sure to put a tarp underneath to keep condensation from messing up your floor.

Good idea, I’ll do that. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I might not even use the plastic cover indoors, but it definitely gives me more room for seedlings.

Yeah, without the plastic cover inside, it’s super useful. I like using the stainless racks from Costco since I use 1020 trays a lot. Your setup should work great. I actually use the same racks inside a bigger greenhouse outside now… my original one blew over a few years ago!
A few tips: Get some foam pipe insulation and put it on the top bars of the greenhouse. If you don’t, the sun can heat the metal so much that it melts the plastic. Learned that the hard way! Also, make sure to stake it down or weigh it with tubs full of water so it doesn’t blow away. For lights and mats, run them 16 hours a day. Once the seeds sprout, remove the heat mats and domes. Also, turn on the lights from the start—sometimes they sprout fast, and if the light isn’t on, they get leggy.

This is really helpful, thanks a lot!
I’d love one for my sunroom. Where did you buy it?

Picked it up at a local hardware store. It was $90 CAD.
I hope you don’t have cats. Mine absolutely destroyed the one I had!

No pets here!
Grow grow grow!
Shouldn’t greenhouses go outside? Otherwise, isn’t it just a grow tent?
Just a heads-up—humidity inside the greenhouse could damage your floor. A tarp would help.

Good to know, I’ll put one down. Thanks!
