How to Handle Greenhouses During Severe Cold Weather
Increase thermal mass using water barrels that absorb heat daytime and release it at night. Use thermal blankets overnight to add insulation over the primary covering. Seal all air leaks around doors, vents, and panel seams. Supplemental heating may be necessary during extreme events. Monitor temperature continuously with alarms that alert to dangerous conditions. Reduce ventilation time and duration to minimum required for air quality. Have backup generators ready for power failures.
