- As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases. Build a portable, inexpensive Cattle Panel Greenhouse that's VERY easy to build, and will only cost you about 150 bucks (depending on materials in your area) and a few hours of your time. It's a design I call "TexasPrepper's Greenhouse". I did an earlier video showing the finished greenhouse, but this one details the construction.

Man, you are dedicated! Still answering questions 9 years later! I watched this video maybe 4 years ago and am finally going to build one. Thanks! :)
Glad I could help!
The last I looked, I had answered over 44,000 comments since I started this channel
Whew...👍😎
This is the BEST greenhouse video I have seen made step by step. Ive seen dozens of them and you really keep it simple, concise, clear and best of all inexpensive. Im making one this fall. Thank you!
You can make the door swing out.
It would make more room, but swinging in hasn't been a problem for me, and this year I raised 1200+ seedlings in there.
I built this two years ago, using this video! Best project ever!!! Love it!! Thank you so much!!
I really LIKE this. Going to make mine with a door that opens out, so it doesn't interfere with what I want inside.
That is what we did.
@@freshlifenowfarm no the window opens out. The door opens in
@@landonjackson3064 that what She said..Alohaa
Annie, great suggestion! I'm going to do my door the same!
I agree with changing the door to open out. Put a small doo stop on the three sides that dont have hinges. Will keep stress off of the hinges and keep winter winds from blowing door open. Great idea.
Thanks for the plans. I made a few modifications and it came in around $180. The structure is very solid and offers plenty of room inside.
I'm doing a better job of filming now... I hope.
If you are still interested in building one, you might want to buy the e-Book or PDF. THEY are pretty much stationary :)
thanks for the comment
Been about a year between my viewings of this video and I have to say, I understand so much more about structure than I first did. And knowing more makes me appreciate how simple and yet sturdy this design is. Helps me a lot, in more ways than one. Thank you!
You're very welcome.
Glad to help.
Wow! This is exactly what I've been wanting to build for my plants but really didn't have a clue what to do. Thank you very much for the video :-)
I built one! And yes it was pretty easy. I had to have help from my sons to bend the cattle panels enough for the base, but that was all of the help I needed. The rest I was able to do by myself, which in itself is pretty impressive for someone with limited physical ability. Thank you for taking the time to put this on youtube and inspiring me and everyone that sees it to make their own. BTW I used pool noodles instead of the rolled insulation, and it worked great as well. Thank you!
Mary Jo,
I sent you a message from my website letting you know that I made the "PDF" into an e-Book. It is carried by Amazon now. There are links below this video to the Amazon page that carries my book. I DO believe it will help with the construction and material purchases, and can save you money in the long run.
Thanks for your comments, and I hope you'll build one !
I had this same idea after seeing the panels at Tractor supply a few months ago. I will probably be building something similar but utilizing a block wall on one side and framed wall on the opposing side and by using the panel would give me a lot more height. Great job. This video solved my issue in how to make the end frame work with the doorway. Thanks so much for sharing.
I Love mine. Built the first one 3 panels long last fall. It had snow almost 2/3 of the way up the sides with the winter we had in NH, but it held together well. I still remember having to step down into the greenhouse. That is one time the inward swinging door helps. If I had to shovel snow to get in, I would have never made it in till spring.. I am now building #2 as an attachment to a shed. You will walk into the shed then take a left into the greenhouse. I used raised wooden walls 2 feet high in order to get enough height to go 10 feet wide. It is coming together nicely, but with 4 panels long I find my modified version needs a little extra support to avoid bowing in the middle. Well worth my $5 investment. Thanks for such great videos and instructions..
+Blueberryjoefarms Yep... I would think that a 4 panel one might need a little support in the middle.
I haven't built one that long yet.
Glad I could help.Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you for sharing. I am always impressed with the creative ways you have used everyday materials to solve problems. You greenhouse is the best one I have seen, so ingenious.
Richard Bertram Thanks you sir !
Oh yea... don't forget to take a look at the e-Book. There is a link to it below the video, and it included all the drawings, materials list... and even shows how to add corrugated metal to the cattle panels to make a nice shed.
I am from brazil and i love this greenhouse!
It is 50" high and 16 feet long. You will need 16 feet to get a 6'2" height (if you make it 7' wide)
The e-Book or PDF will explain it all if you are interested. Links are below the video. They include materials list and drawings.
thanks
Great thanks... I need 6’ 6” height... 16’ length is Long enough ... would give enough width for the length of a tunnel.
@@OfftoShambala If you need it higher you can also use 2x6's and stack them using some metal wood joints and then staple the panel higher. Probably could make it a full 8 foot wide that way and still end up with your 6'6" height.
@@Paula-mf7cf or you can make a ladder type frame on iits side.
Thanks to you for this post! I did my greenhouse with two cattle panels and it is a very good plan and stood up well to the Minnesota winter despite poor quality poly. Got the good stuff (poly) this year and I am going to do it up proper and am looking forward to the growing season! Thanks again for the idea!
How do you keep it warm for say...tropicals where you live?
My brother Tim followed your plans for this green house and made one for me, I was so surprised when he gifted it to me I cried. I love it, and it held up no problem through the Minnesota winter.
That is awesome!
Great brother for sure
Thanks for sharing that with me :)
Denys,
The plans are now in an e-Book and Amazon has exclusive rights to it. You'll need to go to the link below the video to see it.
thanks for the comment !
Great job! We're doing one soon. Yours is the best I've seen so far. My hubby wants to just buy one, I want to build it!
B vvt vvt no CRT
No
Wow.....that's all i have to say...... I'm from london Uk and this is the best poly tunnel build so far, it gets real windy sometimes where i live.
BlackJedi169 , from brizzy Bristol too ! It's a good idea .
Built this greenhouse with 3 panels. That was the only difference . Love it,thanks .
Now that's how you do it right. Simple and effective. Good job.
Not a slip up... though I admit I have made a few...
In this sentence "square" means 90 degrees... so... translated... it means "make sure your rectangle has 90 degree angles on each corner..."
Well thought out! Thanks.
(I'm buying the PDF version as I really DO think it is well thought out! I might build this someday)

After viewing many DIY greenhouse videos I've found the one I'm going to build. This is by far the absolute best of them all, cheap, easy and quick to build. The largest obstacle of building this greenhouse is getting the 16' cattle panels home from Tractor Supply.
This is exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the great idea! Great job on the video. I know I could have built it pretty easily after watching the video, but i went ahead & bought your book just to say thanks for the idea! I hope a lot of other people do too. I also posted your video & a link to the book on my blog. Good luck, & invent some more cool stuff! MM
Thanks to YOU sir !

Gosh dang it, that's purty ! I'm gonna build one her in Boston....hope it will hold the snow
So did it hold the snow?

This is great. I just discovered all the uses of cattle panels. We are building a shelter for our chickens now. Next spring comes the green house.
I'm thinking about a 4' wall (maybe pallets) and making a taller, wider one for a (tall) tractor shed.
"Check for square".
Looks round to me. :-D

Texas Prepper, 4 years later, yours is still the best video out there. I'm going to put mine onto some 3x5x3 crates I've turned onto raised beds, end to end. When I get my 2nd row of crates in, I'll put a Texas Prepper green house on top and have a 10x15 greenhouse with earth mass for our North Idaho climate. I've seen other videos mentioning your video, too. Thanks for inspiring so many of us to go ahead and build our dreams.
Glad to help... you made my day !
well here I go TPrepper2. have my list and heading out.. wish me luck.
Evansville, Indiana
Thomas O'Connor How has it held up to the snow and rain? Any additions to make it better?
How has this held up for u. I live in northern indiana and wonder how it works in our winters
The mesh is about 6" square in most places.
The panel is 50" tall and 16 feet long.
You can’t get these in the U.K.
So annoying! They look fantastic for gardening.
@@fainitesbarley2245
Several years ago, someone in the UK told me he found some, but they were called by a different name.
I don't remember what it was, but you might want to go back and look at the comments under the video and see if you can find it.
I just ordered one, wish I saw this earlier, I could use it now here in MI went from 70 to 25 today and 2 in snow.
Good job guy.
I absolutely love the cattle panel idea! The only thing that kept me from building a greenhouse on my property this year was not really knowing how to make the hoops and such. This makes the job seem so much easier. I"d love a copy of your list and plans. I'm moving to Georgia to homestead next January and have plans to make an Earth Bag home, an Aquaponic system but also would love to have a greenhouse. After seeing how easy this is I am inspired!! Thank you! And I know, technically it's not a greenhouse, but in Georgia, trust me it will be. Instead of a window on the far side, I intend on putting in a fan for air circulation...box fan's are cheap and work great for this application!

Paul Ladendorf Thanks Paul !
Paul Ladendorf The Greenhouse will cost about $150, depending on materials costs. The panels (here) are about $18... but in some places they are much higher.
TexasPrepper2 Cattle panels are $29.00 for 16 ft. at tractor supply here in Turlock, CA.
The cattle panels are 50 inches tall and 16 feet long.
Don't forget to take a look at the e-Book. There is a link to it below the video, and it included all the drawings, materials list... and even shows how to add corrugated metal to the cattle panels to make a nice shed. It will save you a lot of time and maybe some mistakes.
thanks for the comment
I just added a link to the FREE Kinkle app. You can now download e-Books to your computer or smartphone. The link is below the video in the description box.
thanks for the comment !
A bit easier way to know if it's square is the 3-4-5 method. Pick a corner and measure from the corner down one side 3 feet. Then from the same corner measure along the front 4 feet. If i's square it will measure 5 feet between the two other measured points. You can then do the opposite diagonal corner. This helps if you do this as you are laying out the boards to know if you have them square from the get go.
Thanks .... I have been looking at many different designs and Liked this one the best . I plan on making it bigger ... But am going to use the same design and put a solar panel , Lights and a fan for better air movement when it gets too hot inside . You also gave me a great idea on how to open the front of my enclosed patio by removing the the front wall and replacing it with that wire structure and putting screening over it to allow air in during the Spring and Summer months and keeping the bugs out .... that tend to eat us alive . Great Stuff ..... as my friend always says .
I like the solar idea......I am going to build this in April 2018. I think I may go solar as well since I get sun in my spot from the time the sun rises till it sets!!!
TXP2, I built mine a few weeks ago thanks to your video and ebook. I have never in my 42 years taken on a project like this. I am happy I did and well on my way to hydroponicking in my green house. Much to my wife's chagrin I want to build one that 4 panels long!! keep up the videos I have used you infused pepper recipe as well and that came out awesome as well!!
Pretty cool. I need to check out the rest of your channel better, cause I didn't see this gem.
dirtpatcheaven I've been watching several of your vids too !
Great concept. Here is something you might consider. If you dropped the hight to 4 - 5 ft but configured the plastic covered screen so that you could lift it from one side to tend to your plants; the need for a door would be eliminated. Space for planting would be maximized. Cost of materials would be reduced. Weight would be reduced. Because your not using traditional PVC ribing, the wire mesh structure would provide a rigid means for gaining access to one side of the greenhouse, much like a hood to a car.
I'll be your first customer.
Larry Anderson Interesting...
Hmmm seems like any entry point is going to have to be clear of plants to ENTER ...so what are you saving really by eliminating a real door? Or do you mean simply never entering IN just tending from the sides??
Very nice result. I will try this for next spring. That oughta keep this lady busy in the winter for a while.
Hubby and I just built this greenhouse with a few modifications ( like swing out door). it is awesome!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
You bet... Glad to help !
nice!
LoVve this!
I'm tall, so when I build it I will build it the very same only I will set it up on a some cinder blocks and wrap it round with more plastic :)
thanks for the video!
~YHWH Bless
I lost a lot of space with the door opening inwards...I changed the door to open outside and tripled my room to move
cygerwoods1 Good idea... my next one will swing out
@@BIGALTX put small door stops top and bottom on side opposite of hinges. Will most likely make a better seal around door edges, preserve heat... and less risk of door getting blown open in wind if it opens outwards. Gives lot more working room inside and lets you keep door open in warmer temps if you need to work inside.
I bought your plans and built this greenhouse on my deck last spring to do hydroponics in it. I've been nothing but pleased with its performance. It is beyond sturdy and durable. I can't wait to start planting in it again this year. Thanks!
+MOUNTAINEER1976
Thank YOU sir !
Nice endorsement...
Living at 8000 ft our growing season is short and frosts are late in the spring and early in the gal! I'm so excited about doing this project. And thanks for posting, studing for 4 days off & on day & night.
9:30, why open inwards instead of outwards? Would make more room, wouldn't it?
Inward is better if you have any snow. Lol, talking from experience.
Door should open out to save floor space
Absolutely correct.
I've been researching into survival and found a fantastic resource at Micaden survive system (google it if you're interested)
Except if you will be opening it in snow.
i agree
How does your house door open? If you live in perfect conditions, maybe you could do a door your way. But for those of us that need one get snow and his plans work. Besides, the knob cost nothing his way. Great video!
It's just brilliant, the best I've seen in time.
After over a dozen videos, I'm done. I love this idea, it's perfect for my situation and budget. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
You bet... Glad to help.
If you need the plans, you can find links below the video
Slight issue that I have with the door......it swings in.........I would rather have it swing out, so that you do not lose any usable space on the inside. With the door swinging in, any shelves that you place in there would have to be move down on the right hand side so you would have room to go in.
***** change the direction as to which the hinges swing open,,
+John Pulliam Hey John I was thinking the same thing. I am going to have my door open out. No sense wasting space.
+Regina Leathers I let the excess plastic drape over my door opening, attached at the top of the door with a strip of wood, then used scissors to cut vertical slits in the plastic about 6" apart and use that as my door, move it aside to exit or enter and it falls back into place as a door closure

While I love the simplistic design of these green houses, I would like to issue a word of caution to those who live in areas that are subject to gusty winds! I live in an area that can get pretty windy at times. I had a chicken coop that was built in almost the same manor. It did pretty well with our normal breezy weather but failed spectacularly one afternoon. Unfortunately I had a small flock of 4 week old chicks in it when it went. The wind had picked it up and chucked it down to the next road. Thankfully no human was injured when it went! the only casualty was my poor little baby Louie that had his leg fractured. He is OK he just has a stumpy short leg and runs funny because of it.
Anyway for those who live in a area that gets windy stake them to the ground well! I wish that I had staked mine better. I should have taken the hint when the wind moved it 10" sideways one day. Don't take the chance, stake them down!
Also if your going to be moving yours around I suggest that you add corner braces to stiffen the bottom wood frame after you secure the cattle panels. otherwise they can have a tendency to rack when you move them.
Jayknee Garner I linked to some "tie down" augers under the video... and yes, some folks might want to secure them.
Better safe than sorry! I unfortunately am the latter. I do like your design and may build one myself when I have the funds available.
TexasPrepper2 I was going to suggest the same thing brother. I used 4 tie down augers (Wal-Mart, $4 each) and heavy duty cargo straps to tie down my Lance Cab Over Camper while it's off the truck and in the back yard. A couple years ago a tornado passed close to my house. Lost a couple 80 ft. pine trees and some very large tree limbs, but the camper didn't budge. I'm sold. By the way, excellent design on that greenhouse.
Grandpa the Grey Thanks Gramps !
... not sure what you mean by "popups".
I DO have some links to products, materials and to the original video, but there shouldn't be anything "popping up" in the e-Book. I'll look into it...
thanks for the comment
Kristin,

dude sounds like Matthew Mcconaughey lol
XxSrelhowxX cc
that's 'cause it's him making himself a fine piece of a greenhouse :P
XxSrelhowxX YES! I said the same thing lol
Cuz Matthew McConaughey is from Texas
door needs to open out not in.
+Dean Hudson That thought occured to me as well. Should be just as easy to build.
+Dean Hudson in Canada I think this would be smarter, too much snow on the outside if you chose to keep this in winter to open the door out!
+Tara Lynn
makes sense
Dean Hudson
You bet ...
Look below the video in the the description box, and thanks !
A much better idea then what I had in my head. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Now I can grow weed, jk😂
i have finished building my greenhouse and i am ready to grow in fall / winter and starting seedlings off early in Late January. thanks for you video posts
Built mine yesterday can't wait to get the plastic on it and plants inside your the man I wanna grow up to be just like you
I checked it out... SWEET !
This looks really great! It is one of the best ideas I ever seen so far and affordable. Thanks for sharing.
Got a couple panels just laying out back behind the barn. You just gave them a new life! Headed out to throw one of these together now. I don't live in Texas. Where we are it gets mighty cold. This is a great way to get the seedlings started without having to clog up every windowsill in the house! Thanks. Great design.
you bet, Robert... thanks for watching!
Great video - love the idea - thank you - love the accent too :) could listen to that voice all day. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.
I think I would have had the door opening out so that all the inside would be more usable.I'd also probably set a 1x2 on the inside of the door to avoid drafts in early spring. Much better design than pvc, especially in areas where there is wind and snow. Pipe covers are ingenious and I like the way the window in the back opens out to let heat escape. Beautiful video, thank you so much.
I've been making cattle panel hoop houses for years and never thought to put the foam pipe insulation over the ends. That's pretty genius, I'm too lazy to file the sharp points off. Thanks!
Clever idea. Innovative use of inexpensive materials. Looks durable as well.
The PDF is not set up to send out automatically. I always send it as soon as I see the notification from PayPal.
In your case, I sent it as soon as I turned on the laptop this morning, and saw your purchase.
Thanks for your support, and send pictures !
alan
Love it! Not intimidating at all, since this would be my first greenhouse, if I choose this design. Looks so easy. I gotta do this. I gotta get started. I could be enjoying food out my greenhouse right now.
I like the way that came out. I'm going to add this video to "Watch Later" so I can rewatch when I have all the parts. Thanks for uploading.
Under the video... click "About" ... then click "Show More".
You should be able to find all the links then...
Thanks for your interest.
Beautiful, simple design! Really like the cattle panels. As some one already pointed out, I too would have the door swing out.
this is the best DIY green house i have seen
This is a genius design for a quick storage building or greenhouse.
It warmed my heart that he knew the word “darts”.
Hahaha... My wife used to sew... 👍😎
I forgot to say how impressive the look of the house is as well. It is surprising how structurally sound the design is. It is a solid plan. On the outside it is esthetically pleasing and inside there is an illusion of space that makes working inside the greenhouse very relaxing and inspiring at the same time. Right now I am using hanging baskets with no negative effects from the weight at all. I cant say enough about how strong the shell is and how attractive it is when finished.
I recently completed mine based on your video. I went and used 4 x 4 for the base and took a small window for the rear and inverted it so when I opened it this spring it would vent better. I also used 2 x 12 for beds
wow, that's pretty cool I love it. I will attempt to build this as my husband's helper. thank you so much, I've been wanting a greenhouse and now, here it's coming. thanks a bunch. Bertha
This is a splendid size for smaller backyards. Thank you very much.
Glad to help!
After watching, I bought his pdf plans for $5.00. Well worth it. Can make a greenhouse or many other multi-purpose small temporary sheds or covers with a little imagination.
Just ordered your greenhouse w/ cattle fence hoop house plan. Guess what I'll be doing during this cover 19 quarantining lol. Thanks so much for making this available. As a gardener trying to save money by living sustainably--this DIY greenhouse plan is priceless. Stay awesome and safe!
Raven 1.618
Thanks for your purchase. Glad I could help! Enjoy. 😎
I made your greenhouse with 4 panels. I love it! Thanks so much for the idea.
I'd love to see it !
My CattlePanel GreenHouse and also turns into a storage shed during the winter months with heavy duty tarp cover has been through several hurricanes, half dozen winter snow storms, and blizzards, already, and she still standing strong. I'm just writing to you to thank you again for this so very important idea...Much Obliged TexasPrepper2, Much Obliged.
Well, you started my day off real nice.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad I could help.
Finally, how to do the doors on a greenhouse explained so well. Thanks a million. And, what super idea with the pipe insulation. We use concrete wire mesh as hoops and needed to find a way to keep ends from ripping plastic. Pipe insulation is awesome idea. Love this whole video though for snow load, hoops from conduit seem to work better for us. Thanks again.
WOW! Watched this when it first came out. It was the original. Now working towards 2 million views. Wonderful. I make the door just as it is in the video. when it snows you can still get in without a worry!
This was the basic inspiration for my greenhouse 9 years ago, I did plant propagation flowers and shrubs..
Wow... really glad I could help... thanks for sharing!
Thank you for taking the time to make this helpful video. great job in showing the details.
I may do several of these. Think I'll definitely do one for my firewood.
Great looking GreenHouse idea. Might make myself one real soon. Thanks for the well informed details.
I finished mine up last weekend and have had MULTIPLE comments from friends & family on what an outstanding design that this green house is. Thanks from northwest Louisiana!
You're very welcome... congrats on your GH !
Very ingenious! It seems it would be MUCH stronger than a PVC hoop house! Thanks!
Two thousand comments! You are a master of youtube! Congrats on making the world a better place.
Wow, thank you so much!
