## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I download the PDF after purchase?

You can download the PDF right after checkout from the download link on the order confirmation page and in your confirmation email. Save it to your device so you can print or open it any time.

### How big is a 10 ft octagon greenhouse?

This 10 ft octagon greenhouse measures 120-3/16" across the corners and 111-1/16" across the flats, with about 62 sq ft of floor inside. The roof apex is 146" above the base.

### Can you use a gazebo as a greenhouse?

This plan builds a gazebo style greenhouse from the ground up, with polycarbonate in all eight walls and the roof. It also includes four automatic vents and three potting benches, so it works as a growing space from day one.

### What is the best shape for a greenhouse?

The best greenhouse shape depends on your site and what you grow. An octagon greenhouse like this one takes in light through eight clear walls and a pyramid roof, and the 45 degree pitch sheds rain and most snow on its own.

### How many vents does this octagon greenhouse have?

This octagon greenhouse has four top-hinged vents with automatic openers, set high in four of the walls. Together they give about 10 sq ft of vent area, plus the door.
