Thieves are the main worry, I would build it with the polycarbonate panels instead of plastic. With locked doors.

And CCTV and motions sensors and throw in a couple of ducks as well,they will let you know you have uninvited “guests”.
I’m not too worried about thieves… miles away from hardly anyone… and a couple big ass dogs and we should be fine.
But I will make sure to have some securty lights and alarms in case anyone does get past the dogs

Hell yeah that’s cool I’ve never seen snow before. Bloody hawks got one of our pegions yesterday morning and was eating it in front of the rest of our chickens and they were going off.

You really have never seen snow? Where do u live, Hawaii? @plumbdand many folks use Guineas like you do your ducks they are also a good trespasser alert system. A drip system is something I’m installing in my greenhouse this spring. Good luck

Omg guineas I’ve had then. If you like birds that make ALOT of noise thats what you want. As for ducks and chickens, I have to keep them pend up and netting on top. @writerjennifer as for a greenhouse @HippieRunner1 has you covered pretty well, and it depends on affordability. As for thieves you need to be sure. I’ve been down that road. Good luck 
Here is a new addition we will be adding to all of the greenhouse. 6ft partial walls. These sections will not be removed and are stationary. This will help with regulating the environmentals and will add a ton of wind blockage during those windy days.
The side walls will be replaced next. Basically the side wall will be able to still roll up and down but will set on the outside of the new sections.

@2GreenThumbs I used to grow pot on my friends property he had guinea hens at the back of his property to alert him of intruders. Then geese closer in and Rottweilers and German shepards in the part of the yard where the plants were. We always called the Guineafowl “Punk Rock chickens”. They are noisy. The Geese were mean as hell and put a nice bruise on you when they bit you.

I know what you mean about Geese. A Tom Turkey I once met was the best security system one could buy. He would peck you to death if you got out of the car before his master came outside and called him off of you.
