So my wife wanted a greenhouse...so I made one for her, if you have any questions post them in the comments. Share the video, leave a comment, like, watch our other videos, and subscribe. God Bless - Розваги
Looks amazing! Bet you will love it!
dirtpatcheaven Thank you so much, I appreciate it. We are already loving it, we took all the startups out of the house...we can walk around now.
Thank you for the design. It looks easy enough to raise up as well. I am a tall guy and hate low spaced, but you can always add to the base.
If you want it taller, just make it less wide at the base. By doing that it will make it taller and thinner. You can also get a longer hog panel and do everything else the same.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!!! Totally will be using your instructions
Cool I hope it helps, we have been using it since I posted the video and still going strong. I have Tomatoes still producing in Ohio in November and it is getting down to 20 degrees outside at night.
Nice greenhouse, looks like it will last a long time
Excellent Job! looks great and very low cost, thank you for the video Sir.
I hope it helps someone
Great video. Not drug out for 30 minutes with a lot of bs. I’m building one pretty much the same way.
Thanks, not a fan of the bs either, mine has worked out great. Put a tomato plant in a 5 gallon bucket in there and it will turn into a jungle
Looks really great and not expensive to make. Your presentation is great, too! Kudos!!! I've just designed mine; however, mine will cost a bit with more permanent materials, but it will still work.
Awesome, what are you going to be using yours for? I like to ask to get more ideas for ours.
Nice build, thanks for sharing
We have changed it a few times, but it is still going strong for us.
I love this, good job. I too will have a greenhouse someday!--Kim
This Old Homestead It works really good so far too and only took me 2 days to build it.
That's what I like, quick projects.
This Old Homestead Surreal.
Great video! Very informative.Thank you.
thank you for the comment
Awsome. loved It. 😊
Thanks I will probably do a follow up video to it soon, it has been holding up quiet well and I still haven't had to replace the plastic.
Hi there great greenhouse DIY the basics are there any alterations can be added to ones own specifications ie i would build a raised bed down each side fill with compost mixed with black kow manure.... tomatoes cucumber one side the other side green salads .. melons and maybe a grape vine...might think of making it a walk-through so you could take in a wheelbarrow when needed.. also walkthrough circulates the air better reduces plant infection...... OK thanks for your posting really good advice easy to follow very instructive ....Ed
Those are EXCELLENT ideas!!!! Thanks for the comment
@@lambertoutdoors Thanks Lambert Acres .... i live in Beverly Hills Ca.... i have a greenhouse controlled thermostatically... what ever the weather conditions or temps outside its always right for the plants "extravagant" :-{ yeah but i love growing the unusual tomatoes "Shirley" cucumber "Market most" The greenhouse you have in the video dad and i built the same on our farm homestead up in Utah really good cheap to erect lasted through all weather conditions if i remember we had 4 on the farm when not growing in them chickens were kept in there fertilizing ready for the next growing season .:-{ dad always said want not waste not organic growing.... OK Lambert Acres... See-Ya now...............Ed
Great job! Could you do another video showing step by step of build?
Good idea i like it
Thanks, We have used it for so many things we put tomatoes in it last year in buckets and they filled up the whole thing
Iam gona build me one
Iam in south carolina
Great idea for a greenhouse. A couple of questions: what is the wire gauge size of the cattle panels you used, and what is the finished size - length, width, and height (at the center) of your greenhouse. Thanks.
I don't know what size gauge it was, they only had one option. The wire is about 3/16 inch think though. finished outside dimensions are length-13 foot 3 inches, width-7 foot 3 inches, and height at center-6 foot 6 inches. I will do an update video this spring.
I got it from Menards, I did not see it at any other stores. It is basically a layer of plastic, then cloth mesh, then plastic. so far so good to
Great idea with the cattle panels I'm going to build it.
It is a very easy build and low maintenance
@@lambertoutdoors how wide is door frame
Greg C 28 inches
How much was the wire?
Very nice - now we can build ours - Thank you.
Have fun!
Looks simple ,, but noticed your left out steps putting on plastic , in get it not hard,, an puttung in the framing for door an window...For somebody had no clue buy looks easy kinda important...looks good
Will you cover the grass inside to kill off weeds /grass with dark polyethene? I would have dug it out then laid down card board- soaked it then covered it with compost down each side made up of well rotted Cow manure - mushroom compost and other green compostable material. The middle you could have laid down wood chippings to act as a walkway. Looks sturdy enough. This could be adapted to make a 20ft long greenhouse but same width I expect?
yes you could definitely make it longer. and I ended up just raking leaves in it from my yard it killed the grass. Thanks for the comment
Terrific! I'm going to try to build a replica. :)
***** Thanks, it is still going strong, we are going to try to grow veggys in it over the winter with a heater too. Good luck.
Hey, I’m wanting to make a greenhouse myself! I love your idea and construction. I was wondering if you could share the materials and whatnot. Also I was curious if you are hired to build something like this by chance. Thank you in advance!
It is so easy no need to hire anyone. Just make a rectangle box with 2x6 (or whatever dimension of wood you want.) Make a rainbow with the hog panel in the box, then cover with plastic. I used reinforced plastic, but any thick clear one will do. then you can staple it on, or us wood strips like i did. Good luck!!
Hey thanks, I'm planning to build one too, I like the plastic you used any way to get a link or were to buy it? Thanks
I got it from Menards, they do have a website to order things as well
Really nice greenhouse! I'd like to built one for the first time, but I read that plastic/PVC is bad for sensitive vegetables - what kind of plastic did you use, or any other ideas? Thanks
+loui0008 I got it from Menards, I did not see it at any other stores. It is basically a layer of plastic, then cloth mesh, then plastic. so far so good to. We have not noticed any difference using it over growing things outside or in window boxes.
Thanks so much for your quick response and good info!
I noticed your doorway does not provide a seal (there is an opening 6:36 ) Do you lose a lot of heat through that crack?
Great comment, we actually did not design it with a seal and we open the windows to let pollinators inside the greenhouse. There is no loss of heat, it is always warm in there.
I'm interested in building a greenhouse like this. Is $150 just for the plastic and treated wood only or it also includes the cattle panels?
The cattle panels were included, however it you make it shorter you can save $$, also if you don't make it as long take away some of that price or if you make it longer add some price.
how long is the green house I'm interested in a building one just like that but trying to figure out how many panels am I going to need I'm wanting to build a 12 x 12
12.5 foot long. They are 50 inches wide each panel.
NICE ONE
Thanks
I like it. It’s great for small backyard. Do you have to pay property tax for this greenhouse?
nope
How is the greenhouse holding up since you've built it and what were the dimensions? Did the plastic hold up well?
Plastic needs replaced every 2-3 years (we have high winds). Frame has held up well, dimensions would be adjustable depending on how many hog panels you add and the length of them, watch the video again for a reference.
Where did you get the plastic used for this project
Menards, but i have seen similar products at other hardware stores
great greenhouse. but i missed the part about what u did with the rubber hose?? etc.
I put it on the ends on the metal where the metal is in contact with the plastic, so it doesn't rip the plastic. So far so good, we are still using it daily.
thanks very much
im feeling more secure in bldg this greenhouse. ive waited most of my adult life to stop workint and finally grow food flowers and love on my animals.
If you have waited to do that, I am assuming you have been working hard to get to that point. Sometimes you owe it to yourself to treat yourself. The bible says he will take care of us. Good luck
its interesting that u say that as im waiting to have an epidural. i have 3 times over my teaching years. of course everytime is was my back. but i know He that started a good work in me is faithful to complete it. so if i have to drag myself to the chix coop or greenhouse, im still trusting and believing in the power of the Holy Spirit. thanks for your wisdom an spirit.
Hi Lambert Acres,
For the "Integra All Purpose Reinforced Plastic Sheeting", description "Clear String Reinforced Sheeting, 27 lbs. size 20'x50'" and SKU "568-0090"
Questions:
☠ Can you give me an update as to whether this plastic has hindered the amount of sunlight coming in that would possibly slow down production of growing?
☠ Would you purchase this plastic again?
☠ Why didn't you bring the cattle panel up to 4 inches to give you a little more headroom?
Thanks in advance !
-Danny
1st question-the only negative about growing food in this plastic is that in the summer it got hot inside the greenhouse. We had the door propped open and window open. I don't think that had anything to do with the plastic though, that is just how greenhouses work. it did not slow production at all.
2nd question-Yes I would buy it again. I still have not had to replace the plastic, no tears, or rips, no discoloration, no stretching, no problems what so ever.
3rd question-i built it for my woman, if you watch my other videos with her in it, shes a little thing and doesn't need height, but would do better with more ground area. I wanted her to be able to reach the top inside to tie stuff on cattle panel too.
Thanks for the comments Danny I can see by the playlist you have created you are going to be diving in to this gardening thing. I suggest using greywater for and also try aquaponics. Using greywater is a secret weapon. Good luck and God Bless
Thanks for your speedy reply and god bless !!!
I have created my Greenhouse based off your ideas and preppers ideas. I will post a link to a pic once I get the skin on it.
CONGRATULATIONS, that is super exciting. You will love it. We used 2 skate boards under the back to move it.
could you give us a link to the plastic you used?
www.menards.com/main/search.html?search=clear+reinforced+plastic+
I bought it from Menards and put the link searching for Reinforced clear plastic in a comment, that will give you a few options. Ours is still hole free and looks good. It hasn't even stretched...and I live in Ohio where winds are not blocked by anything.
Store bought plastic will only last 1 season ...
You need to buy greenhouse grade plastic last 5 to 10 years
do you know the product name of the plastic sheet of sku number?
+Fred Greenwood Product name is "Integra All Purpose Reinforced Plastic Sheeting", description "Clear String Reinforced Sheeting, 27 lbs. size 20'x50'" and SKU "568-0090" I hope that helps, it has held up to high snow weight and high winds that we get in Ohio. Thanks
Thanks so much
Fred Greenwood You are Welcome, This is my second year with it and it shows no signs of aging or tears.
For anyone that lives Texas, we know that temps can get well above 100 degrees and stay over months on end and plastic faded/melts over time here. With that being said, I contacted Menards and carefully researched the issue myself before purchasing. Here is what their response was "Greenhouse film is manufactured from special grade resin and contains a very high level of Ultra- Violet inhibitor….the Dura-Skrim 5680090 does not contain UVI and is not rated for long term outside exposure. Would not recommend for greenhouse application." So, I bought mine from FarmTek with a 4 year guarantee. Sun Master has UVI on item number 108658. 20x50 $128 shipped!
Fred Greenwood Surreal.
Where did you purchase plastic?
Menards, it’s like the Midwest’s version of a Lowes
How big are your doors?
The door is about 6 foot 3 inches tall and almost 2 foot wide

if i bought ur template but wanted dimensions of 15x8x8 i can go to Home Depot and ask for the material
I don't have a template to buy, but you can listen to my video and write down the stuff I say and use that for free. Good luck they get hot if you are somewhere with heat, so you'll have to add a small fan or vent in the summer. In regular climates, just open the door and window.
+Lambert Acres ok i thought u had a website in ur description must of been a different video but i lkme this one 👍👍👍
Thanks and good luck
Texas Prepper did this in 2013
+Michael Hare I bought an ebook of his and also about 3 others and took what I liked from all of them and did this. Thanks and God Bless.
