9 Dregrees

Very Cold out this am, will check the prototypes soon as sun comes up, things are looking good, our Khufu 6' footer stayed warm enough for the plants to survive, new models will however have a wider base for more insulation and we may also do a insulation "Skirt" around the outside

Giza Gardens The Journey

I started dreaming of building pyramid Greenhouse, around 2006, while working for Growingspaces, the geodesic dome greenhouse company, I even sent them my idea, kinda hoping we'd build one see what its like, Late 2008 I started building my first prototype, (Pictured is two years old now) I used scrap Polycarbonate from Dome Builds, I finely got a good doorway for the 6 footer, still needs refining and will do that on the next one, the Khufu Plus (8' diameter)



Below is The Second Cold frame I did but have since added solexx Glazing this one opens on henges for easy access


Next is the First 6' Khufu Pyramid, doorway has been made much better in the newer models
next warm day I'll see what I can do to make this one better :) and the upcoming 8' Khufu Plus 
will seal better and have Solar ceiling fan, to help heat in winter and cool in summer.
