I'm still looking for shortcuts to getting the snow off the greenhouse roof.

Awesome! It takes a cool person to upload a semi-failed experiment. Because, you know that you now have reached a little bit closer to the proper solution!👏👏👏 Godspeed, Dude! Greetings from a deeep-frozen Swede living in Norway.👋

I think your suppose to have to rope there before it snows. And use it when stop snowing which will pull the snow off the roof.

A metal roof on your shed works. It did for us!

This is our greenhouse, so it needs to stay clear plastic for the roof. My woodshed has a metal roof, a slightly steeper pitch, and heavier construction. The snow slides off, and even if it doesn't, I don't worry about it. I "designed" it for over a 50psf snow load.

Time to hit up Lowes and grab a 220K BTU diesel torpedo heater and melt it off that way.

I have one of those. I used it to thaw my tractor last winter. I'm not too stoked about putting those fumes into the building, but it may be my best non-laborious option.

@@JohnSmith-ki2eq I am very interested in adding more heat to the greenhouse for next year. I've got a small water heater that I was originally thinking to use to warm the irrigation water so it doesn't shock the plants, but now I am thinking about using it for hydronic heat in there.
