This fall I got my greenhouse built. It is intended to be a three season space not year round. I don't want to try heating it on the -15F nights, too much work.
That said on a sunny day I get a 60-70 degree gain. So this time of year it is my smoking space. Today it was 14 outside and 80 in the green house. The dimensions are 10 foot by 20 foot and the plastic is 3.5 mm thick double wall. I still need to do a little work on the door as it lets a fair draft in. As of right now I have tables/benches for 49 1020 trays.

Outstanding! Now you need a window, maybe facing the North, for when you're sitting out there. It would be good for your eyes and brain.

EDIT: And, gosh, put some insulation on those metal chairs!
You can't see it in the pics but I have a window of sorts on the east side that I open it up when having a cigar.

Nice work! Put some heat sinks in there and you may be surprised how much longer you can extend the seasons.

That's the plan. There is a place a couple hours away where I can buy 20 gallon plastic barrels cheap. I am going to see how many I can stuff in there. I hope to be able to start stuff around March 15th. That's about eight weeks before our average last frost.
