Welcome to Mt Liberty Designs - DIY Homestead and Gardening projects 🌱✨
🛠️ My name is Lee and I have been designing and building things for my garden and hobby homestead for almost 30 years! During that time I have developed a lot of plans and I will be sharing them here. I am always trying to save money and one of the best ways to do that is by growing as much of your own food as possible and building things yourself. I sell some of my plans on Etsy to help support my retirement. If you see something you like in my videos there is probably a set of plans available. Thanks for watching my videos and I hope they help you to save some money.

What did you use to put the kettle panels together? Would I be able to use this in the winter to grow tropical plants? I live in Southern Ohio zone six
I go over that in my other videos. You would need to heat the greenhouse for tropical plants in the winter.
That is quite a garden.
Thanks
Are there any cons to building this on top of a knee wall?
The shelf framing is a modified knee wall. If you are looking for more height I would add another 2x6 to the base.
I enjoy your content. I like the way you “successed” your DIY greenhouse. Thank you! I just discovered you, or my watched feed discovered you..all good!
@@dorothythompson9204 Thanks
5 year's here, 7 panels, runs N,S. Doors on each plywood end. Iirc 56 wicking tubs, 2 levels. Wiggle wire and track on base, fence staples both sides for 2500 lb. Polyester pull tape. Attach 1 side toss over, install hitch loop where appropriate, thru staple, loop and PULL. Every 24inches. Plastic doesn't fudge. Only thing that does the plastic in is big hale stones. That allows for the plastic to be staged at different levels when needed . Lots of good videos on them. Everyone should have one. OH, plastic matters, buy the good stuff at a greenhouse supply. Be sure to get the anti drip 😊.
@@timmmmmmmmmmy1 thanks for the input
I have watched all your videos, and I cannot believe how easy you make this look!
Glad you like them!
That is awesome how good it held up!
Thanks.
Cheap and informative. Thanks for making it easy!
No problem.
Wow. That is impressive!
Thanks.
I meant comment on this video! You are hysterical and full of knowledge!
Thanks again!
Brilliant!
Thanks.
After 4 years, that greenhouse is amazing. Thanks for the review with the future suggestions!
No problem. Thanks for watching.
So simple and worth the money!
Thanks!
Sir, you are hysterical!!! I really enjoy learning from you!!!
Thanks
Would love to see this modified for a chicken run.
I have recently designed a chicken coop. There are some good videos out there that have done exactly what you are talking about.
Get the plans here - mtlibertydesign.etsy.com/listing/1441229964
Where are the plans ?
I will pin a comment that has the link today.
What spacing did you do on the grid wall connectors?
I think I used 12 for each cattle panel joint. Probably overkill.
👏👏👏
Thank you.
Excellent video for many reasons; information, clarity of explanations, length. Well done, thank you 👍👍
Thanks
The word that this video demonstrates is Brevity. Outstanding work.
Thanks.
I like the design. Thinking about doing one that is 2 panels deep. Would you say that 2 people could pick up/ move yours to relocate it if necessary? Or possibly move it on skids?
Probably. No upper shelves. Remove the door and window.
Is there an approximate cost for this project? $300-$500 or more?
I priced this project with new materials in January of 2023 at $650. Materials have come down considerably since then. I would think you could build this for $550. Again all new materials.
I really like your videos and this soil blocker looks good. Thanks again for sharing! 💯
Thanks
Looks like a sturdy little greenhouse. Thanks for sharing! 💯
Your welcome.
Great job with build + how you did the video. Even your voice was perfect for it! I live in triple digit tempts here in Texas, so mine has to be somewhat different than yours.
Thanks. Shade cloth and more ventilation for sure
Hello I need someone like you 😍 and make mine come to NY please❤
Thanks.
I bought your plans last fall and built the greenhouse and am very happy with it. I made mine 12 feet long instead of 8 feet. Instead of anchoring it with rebar I concreted six 4x4's at the corners and in the middle and screwed two rows of 2x6's to make it a little taller. Other than that followed your plans. Your right about extending the weed barrier outside the greenhouse i am having the same problem with weeds growing around the inside edges. I live in Texas and even some days in winter it gets a 100 degrees or more in the greenhouse so I added a ventilation fan. Overall this is a great design, very satisfied with the results, thank you.
Thank you. Glad to hear it
Is there a benefit on total cost when comparing this to an option like shelter logic?
I think the biggest benefit is that it does not blow away. Plus for a couple hundred more dollars than the shelter logic stuff you get something that you can use for quite a long time.
'Promo sm' 💔
Best presented video I’ve seen on UA-cam in a long time. Thank you! Building on this year
Thank you.
I wish I had the talent of wood working. Very nice
Thanks.
Hey My New Friend how are You Today I Hope All Is Well Great Video I love Growing As Well I do That on Another Channel im connected Thanks For Sharing Have A bless Day
Thanks
😂 you might be a tomato addict! 😂
I think I might have a problem:)
Great video! Thank you for sharing with us.
No problem.
Love this video... I've always wanted to build one of these but wondered about durability.
Thanks
thanks for sharing
No problem.
HOA sais no greenhouses. HOAs Suck!
Sorry to hear that.
any idea roughly how many gridwall connectors you used? thanks! looks awesome
12 for each joint between the cattle panels.
All this is good to know! Thanks for the review!
No problem.
This is genius and nice and clean!
Thanks.
I built one and had it for 9 years before I started experiencing any decay of the treated wood. Despite being treated, I had a swarm of termites do some damage on one side just this past year. Started off using home depot plastic sheeting and that only lasted a season. After that I started using greenhouse film which lasted for about 5 years in my Texas sun before replacing. Well worth the money. The foam cushion also started decaying after about the 9 year mark. I've taken down the structure to build another, but it was super inexpensive and useful for several years.
9 years! That is amazing.
Do you have deer in your area? I'm wondering if the 6mil plastic would be quickly ruined by hungry deer... Great video.
Thanks. Lots of deer. Never a problem with them and the greenhouse.
Now a inner liner of plastic. It's a ++ !
Thanks
I also have strong winds, snow, & a big field. Lots to learn from this build!
Thanks.
Really appreciate the follow-up. Pavers are a great idea as a "floor" in the greenhouse and alleviates wear and tear from walking directly on the weed cloth. Weed management is even better when putting down cardboard on the grass first, weed cloth on the cardboard and pavers on the weed cloth. As for snow, if two cattle panel pieces are joined at the top as the "ceiling/roof" to make it wider (example, joining 2 16-foot panels at the top/center) WITHOUT support, a foot of snow will make it sink in the middle. Floor-to-ceiling support beams remedied that. You had single panels (a plus) supported by a full-length beam from front to back (another plus), so snow wasn't an issue. Yay! Even though it's not made from bricks, a third plus is the physics & strength of an "arch" shape/build. Looking forward to seeing the next greenhouse build. Thank you and God bless you!
Going to be building a high tunnel in the next week... I hope.
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!
Glad you like it.
You can get the plans for this build here: mtlibertydesign.etsy.com/listing/1681635102 and the trays I use here: amzn.to/3x2ZMkM I get a small commission from Amazon if you buy using this link. It does not cost you any extra. Thanks in advance.
very good, I got one too,.
They are very useful.
I love mine too, hasn't let me down yet. I am 100% stealing that hanging shelf idea, thanks!
Yeah I really like those upper shelves.
