The passive oil opener thingy I was talking about: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002IOJJF8

It’s worked really well. I’m impressed by the resilience of these cheap greenhouses given how flimsy they feel. It’s been 7 years now… holy cow… and it’s still fine. I’m fully prepared to replace the wood the greenhouse is build on, I didn’t want to used pressure treated right around our potable water so I used regular and that’ll rot faster. But I haven’t had to so far.

I did drive small posts in the ground and screwed them on the wood supporting the greenhouse. It gets really windy here and that would get picked up in not time without anchoring.

Last few things, I make sure to keep snow off and away in the Winter so it doesn’t push against the panels. That would be the end of it if I let the snow lean and push against it.

Also, I got a passive oil based thing to open the aeration so it never gets too hot in there. It’s very useful for when you actually use it as a greenhouse and have plants in there :).

It’s definitely small, especially with the well inside and some plants, but one advantage of it is that I can just pick it up when I need to.

I got the idea to put it over the well from someone else online, it made so much sense, and I have to say, it’s been a great decision. It’s perfect, we get very chilly temperatures here in Vermont, and a little Sun immediately thaws the well. Now the Bison pump we have there does fine when frozen, but it does even better when not.

I hope this helps, let me know if I want to know anything else.
