I gave up and put a solid roof on my greenhouse, which is built of 2x4 frame with actual windows on 3 sides, and clear pvc waffle panels on upper parts, plywood for bottom couple of feet.

Hail got the clear pvc roof twice so I got the waffle panels from home depot that are solid, green for the middle to absorb some heat, white on the edges. color choices actually based on what HD had. on the interior I used a pale blue one inch styrofoam panel for a \"drop ceiling\" that would reflect light down into the greenhouse. It didn\'t work out badly. But I\'m in Texas, there are only plants in the green house from first frost to last frost. A 100 gallon stock tank with plant tray filtration and fish stabilizes temperatures
