Maybe if you put it in a heated garage... Seriously, it has no insulating material & very little wind or snow-bearing capability.

As with most things, you get what you pay for... and that is especially true with greenhouses.

So the green color is good to help stop infrared which plants do not care for and reflect to cool themselves. Call it a shade house, useful here in the south where summer heat causes damage. Its even ready to mist water upon it with that covering. It depends on your needs too.

With food prices I'm gonna try this it may not be the best it's within my budget I'm hoping to at least extend my growing season

Grow lights and heat pads may be a better spend. Do you grow in pots anyway or in the ground?

You are in USDA grow zone 6 temps dipping into the -10f range once in a while. That tent is not what you are gonna want I suspect. You could make a better one out of cheap pvc pipe and multiple spaced layers of clear plastic. At a latitude of 40 degrees the sun gets thin in the fall so you need more light than less. I am at 33 Lat and its hard to grow warm season plants in the fall already, and your sun is lower in the sky than mine. Also we rarely get down to 10f anymore. Zone 8a here

Bad part is it's within my budget I wanted to also make something work with heat and extra lighting and find a way to add to it
