Hi there, 
i was just wondering if anyone could tell me how many metres of bubblewrap insulation I’d need for a 8X6 greenhouse to cover the sides and roof? I didn’t bother with it last year and now I can’t remember how much I used the year before lol 

many thanks,
Natalie

    Measure the height of the side wall and double it.  Then add twice the length of the roof between apex and side.  That will give you enough bubble wrap to do the sides and roof in one piece.   

    Then measure for the bas to the roof apex and add twice that length to do the two ends.  One of those pieces will have to be cut to cover the door.
