0:00.0	Today's episode of The Beat is brought to you by Haven, a 10x10 greenhouse that two people can
0:04.2	set up in two hours using zero tools. How you ask, well, this isn't your standard greenhouse.
0:09.8	The Haven uses the inflatable patented technology, infinity fiber, which combines the same
0:14.6	rugged material used by whitewater rafting with composites that once inflated becomes absolutely
0:19.7	rigid. This allows the Haven to withstand 75 mile per hour winds and up to 30 inches of snow load.
0:25.9	But my favorite part has to be the fact that Haven can be used as a permanent structure,
0:30.0	or you could simply deflate it at the end of the season,
0:32.5	or whenever you want, and store it when you don't need it.
0:35.1	So if you're a renter or maybe planning on moving soon,
0:42.5	but you want a greenhouse, this is the ideal one because if you leave, you could simply deflate it, pack it up with you and go wherever you want. The Haven also has two doorways, four ventable
0:47.6	side panels, a high-performance app controllable fan, and it also includes shade cloth that perfectly
0:53.0	fits over it for the hottest months of the year.
0:55.7	I personally plan to set this up in my in-ground garden right over my pepper bed in early spring,
1:01.0	one to two months earlier than I would ever plant my peppers, giving me that early advantage before
1:05.6	the summer season sets in. And then once it gets too hot, I could simply deflate it and store it
1:09.9	until fall, giving me
1:11.0	one to two months of earlier growth on either end of the shoulder season. And the best part is,
1:16.0	is that the Haven Greenhouse is available today. Just go to havenoutdoor.com. That's H-A-V-N-Outdoor.com
1:22.9	to get yours today. This episode is brought to you by Thought Park.
1:27.7	Are you ready for Europe's top scare events?
1:30.7	Fright Nights at Thought Park is now on with thrilling rides in the dark, including Hyperia,
1:37.6	the UK's tallest and fastest roller coaster, soul-sucking scare mazes, devilishly daring scare zones, and hell-raising shows.
