this seems like the perfect solution to collecting rainwater out in my pasture where there is no irrigation. It has built in gutter system! BUT the roof is made of plastic. I guess the plastic can get in the water? I need to learn about that... In the meantime could someone design something just like this but with stainless steel roof and gutters? Thank you.
now I see this one is sold out. here is a similar greenhouse with gutters:

Draper Manuscript Collection

From the Wisconsin Historical Society website "Lyman Copeland Draper's manuscript collection was bequeathed to the Wisconsin Historical Society. Draper (1815-1891) was a lifelong student of early American history.

The collection as a whole covers primarily the period between the French and Indian War and the War of 1812 (ca. 1755-1815). The geographic concentration is on what Draper and his contemporaries called the "Trans-Allegheny West," which included the western Carolinas and Virginia, some portions of Georgia and Alabama, the entire Ohio River valley, and parts of the Mississippi River valley."
