10×12 Portable Greenhouse in Council Bluffs Iowa
Portable Greenhouse Project by Creative Backyards
Starting plants early in Iowa means fighting the calendar. A cold snap in April can wipe out weeks of work.
Pete in Council Bluffs, Iowa got ahead of that problem with a 10×12 Portable Greenhouse built by Mid-America Structures. The 8mm double wall polycarbonate roof and side panels trap solar heat and hold it, giving his plants a stable environment even when the weather outside hasn’t made up its mind yet. Gable vents keep air moving on warmer days so things don’t overheat, and interior shelving means he can make the most of every square foot. Creative Backyards walked Pete through the options and landed on a setup that fits a backyard garden without overcomplicating it. He now has a dedicated growing space that extends his season on both ends.
