That's an impressive greenhouse, be good if you could get them on a smaller scale.

Looks like Eden North is employing some of this on a larger scale with their layered system (gas filled)

Well , the design idea could be coppied and more research in the www and , built similar on a diffrent scale

My first try probably 14 years old now , was this one attached to the log cabin in Ireland , was also our tumble dryer , passiv heating into the house , and a greenhouse , in the ground i placed 4 inch drainpipe and a strong direct PV driven ventilator to suck the top and very warm air into the ground to cool the growing room but warm the soil ...

Well as i said it was more like an experiment and the 2 inch plastic pipe frame is not strong enough ( see the bends ) , i was there last Oktober , still standing but the polytunnel plastic foil is at its last legs ....
I guess on can get galvanized steel pipe rolled/bent to the right frame , or reinforce those platic tubes
I think i paid about 800 Euro for the whole lot (material only )
