I forgot to mention details about the slab.
It is 11'6" by 25'6" the growroom will be 11' by 20'. The extra 5ft of concrete is in the front of the growroom entry and is sloped to aid water drainage, and it was also broomed so it would not be slick. The rest of the slab is smooth, but I did this so that it would be easier to clean and keep hygienic. The drain is a 2 inch drain pipe, with a stainless steel grate and a p trap installed to prevent flies from entering. A small amount of bleach will be added after it is washed down to prevent anything from growing inside the p trap and keep the drain clean.
Next step is to install the sill plates.

I have been so darned busy, I haven't had a chance to do much more than take the forms off, I haven't even ground the drain!
I'll have winter break soon so I will have some time to work on it.

So.... Change of plan.
The carport frame that I purchased collapsed during a snow storm... Which is fine I guess. because I wonder if it would of held up had I installed it and everything.
So I ordered a greenhouse frame bender which will be used to bend tube steel for the new steel structure. I purchased it from http://www.hoopbenders.net/home.html
Once I get it, i'll bend the new supports and continue construction.

Great, I'm glad you have enjoyed reading my thread.
There are some updates. I have purchased some more materials (greenhouse film) (metal bracket material), and I am working on welding some brackets for the hoops to mount to the slab.

Update.
I made the brackets and construction has started up again.
Pics!
So I bent all of my hoops, and put one up on a test board to see how it worked out. then I decided to raise it all up to 10ft using extenders on the sides. It really worked out well.
Here's the pics.

Ohh... and I forgot to mention.
I am a pretty big guy 250lbs+ and I was able to hang from one of the top hoops for a few min's without any problem.
Its pretty damn strong.

So far everything has been made using materials supplied by Lowes, except for the brackets that mount the hoops to the sill plate/concrete.
This will change however because you cannot get the correct plastic from Lowes to cover the structure. I will be getting the insulation soon and beginning the task of covering the structure, and insulating it.
More pictures to come.

That would be so nice to set up, I do not have the space currently. I am doing multiple indoor 4 tier greenhouses... that set up you are doing looks great, can't wait to see it up and running!

Cryogenicz said:The carport frame will be overlaid with 1 layer of 4 year white greenhouse film, and then a layer or two of R-13 wall insulation and then another layer of white greenhouse film. This will insulate the grow room while climate is being controlled.
Climate control will be controlled by ventilation cycles. (summer months)During the night when temperatures are low, ventilation will be adjusted to turn on till the inside temperature reaches the temperature outside. During the day very few air exchanges will occur in order to retain the cooler temperature obtained during the night.
(winter months) Heating will be obtained in the opposite fashion of the summer months. More air exchanges will be run during the day, at the hottest time of the day to obtain heat during the day, and at night, minimal air exchanges will be used to retain that warm air.
A common way to insulate greenhouse type structures is to have a double poly layer which is kept inflated using a blower. They shoot for a gap of about 4" between the layers. Instead of putting insulation between the layers, you will save money on climate control by inflating it with a small blower and creating a dead air space. Another thing to consider-in winter you would need very little heating if the double poly layer were clear instead of white. In kansas we are able to grow certain crops 12 months out of the year in 'high tunnels' with no supplemental heating. In fact, it is often necessary to cool the high tunnels by opening them up during the day in the dead of winter.
So if you have a clear double poly setup, it will require very little heat in the winter, and in the summer you could put some shade cloth over it to reduce cooling costs.
here is an excellent resource
http://www.hightunnels.org/ForGrowers/Film%20Plastic/usingfilmplasticfaq.htm
edit: also, in oregon, snow is a major thing to consider. With a double poly setup, you simply turn off the blower to deflate the 2 layers, and the heat from inside the structure will melt the snow as soon as it makes contact. This would save you the headache of manually removing snow to prevent the collapse of the structure.
