We were watching when the ridge fell, "Finally, a UA-cam channel done by a human!" These are fun videos. We are swimming through them this morning. Thanks for all of your work!
My wife and I live in Reno-Sparks, Nevada...I think I may try to tackle a greenhouse like this. Should work pretty well in high wind and with potential snow loads. Thank you for posting!
The problem with having a stem wall is it is a hinge point for the arches and overtime that wall is going to bow outward if ridge support is not provided. You probably should have built each truss to continue down to the base sill plate so there could be a solid connection to prevent spreading with the stem walls being built in-between.
Yes that is a good point and I think you may be right. After all the great cathedrals had to come back and add flying buttresses to keep them from bowing out
Gary. Thanks for the advice. I’m always looking for helpful hints. Have you built one I’d love to see how you did it. You could upload your pictures to your channel. Unfortunately I learn most things the hard way through mistakes. Good knowledge is most appreciated. Thank you
@@BusyBeaver22 In the process of getting information on the glues people have used to laminate the arches. I am retired from an architectural office so I am looking for new things to do with my time from what I learned over the years. I am going to use a staple gun to secure the laminates together after they have been glued. I was trying to avoid using pva glues because of the creep that you get from them. Epoxies are fairly expensive as are polyurethanes. I am leaning towards the polyurethanes as they have better gap filling ability than the pva glues.
@@gary24752 all the best to you. It is a fun project. I would recommend having 2 people for the assembly it can get tricky at times. You should definitely video the progression.
Not a lot of weight involved at this scale. I suppose one could cut up some angle iron and north-south east-west through bolt the arches at the stem wall using 2 or 4 pieces of angle iron at each intersection if the original fasteners started to fail.
I built a Gothic Arch chicken house. Wanting to build a cabin with the exact design you are using for your green house with the stem walls. Thank you for sharing my new friend. Your friend Bryan
I absolutely appreciate your videos for the green house build, this is how I will be building mine. And I LOVE your shop... goals 🙌🏼😂 Can I ask where you got the polycarbonate sheets, I live 40 min SW of Chicago on a farm and the plastic won’t last a day in the wind here. Thank you for sharing, Kim 🤗
Well, a guy with humor, he deserved a like! Well done!!))
Thank you for your kind words
Appreciate your honesty..!

Give it a try. It’s a fun project
If we do not have any mishaps, we do not really learn anything new. This was a good video, keep up the good work.
Thanks I appreciate the comment

Your opening scene left me laughing my ass off.

I watched your video on your chicken house before I made my greenhouse. Strong little buildings very versatile

Great job, you do such good work. Could I use 4" pine and not worry about it braking? I want to bend a 12' board. It is for the top of a 10'x20' shed
Oh man sorry I’m just getting back. So late. Yes you could use 4” pine. I would make the boards thinner then 1” though.
I would try for 1/2”x 4” x12”
I'm looking to build a gothic greenhouse this spring, however I'm concerned about the snow amounts that I get. What snow load can the double 3/4" hold
We have had snow over the winter. This greenhouse is 10’x20’ and the roof is pretty steep so the snow slides right off
👍😀
