- A greenhouse adds year-round gardening potential, but it can also act as a solarium or sunroom for the slightly less serious gardener. We'll show you how to level the foundation, build a Monticello greenhouse kit & add various accessories to your greenhouse.
Difficulty Level: Advanced. Make sure you check local building codes. If you aren’t 100% confident building a greenhouse hire a professional. Call 1-877-GO-LOWES or visit low.es/2PyIILR to learn more about installation services through Lowe’s.

I’ve built the commercial greenhouses for Lowe’s stores for years . Always loved the design and simple installation.
I wish you could come to my house!
@@llc1976 same
Hi Bryan, could a greenhouse like this be heated during winter with several heaters? or it is not sealed enough to prevent wind from coming in?
@@llc1976p
Where do they order their materials from?
I built one of these on Minecraft, very useful to me
Guy Fawkes I’ve never thought about that, that would be so cool!
U77
lmao
about to do the same tbh
My Minecraft house had one on the roof
Impressive work. Will follow to create some additional seating space for family and friends.
Trust in Jesus Christ
Beautiful! I will definitely want a green house once I buy my own home. I’ll be living in Wyoming where the summers aren’t as long and a green house will help extend the growing season.
Don’t buy this one. Bad design, parts inadequate and lost me a perfectly good, (the best) boyfriend there was.
Very windy there in the winter. Might not hold up
Growing that chronic right?
Trust in Jesus Christ
How do you lose a boyfriend over a greenhouse?
This is beautiful!!
this is so beautiful
why am I watching this? I live in a flat and I don't have a garden....
everyone can dream. You never know where life will take you ;)
Ha. I live in a house and watch urban gardening.
Mini Magpie that is so funny!
☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
@@dscrive I’m making one in about a week
Well that was easy. ha. If I start building this Spring I might get it done before next Winter.
I live in the tropics so it's summer all year round. I love plants and would love to have a greenhouse but I can't afford it. 😢 All I can do is watch videos like these and make myself feel worse. One day I'll be able to have one
When I grew up in the country, we had those self closing screen doors on our house.
I love the fabric!
Wow you are really an artist and creative
This looks like the one Frosty 'died' in. Lol. Thanks for this, I was thinking of doing one, but too much hassle with building codes.
I wish Lowe’s would open stores in the UK 🇬🇧
I hope they will open stores in PR... 🏖
Excellent tutorial WOW!!!!❤️😇❤️💕
Great idea
Very nice thorough presentation..
Spoiler alert these Montecello kits are very nice but pricey at $2400 to well into the $4000 range. I can build a custom solid wood structure for much much less. They are much nicer than the Palram kits by far but do some research before buying there are other options.
Curt Walter These kits are more for people who want ready to go pieces they don’t have to measure a million times and cut. Sure they are pricey but you are paying for the convenience of all the pieces being the right size and having exactly what you need all ready to go. Any kit is going to be more expensive than sourcing everything yourself.
You are right about the expense, and this video shows two people putting it together with lots of smiles & a calm voice, and will guarantee it took them 8 hours to assemble. I built an 8X10 greenhouse out of 2X4, much more secure, with very little cutting ( just order the required number of each 8' & 10' boards) in about the same time for about $1000. I was going to buy the kit too, but looks flimsy.
Thankyou sir! I think I’ll build one
@8GarretttterraG8 It certainly has gotten expensive now
I wouldn't give more than 200$ for it
very clear and concise instructions, thank ya. i also like how it's a female doing the construction.
Awesome, thanks!
WOW, so cool.
From this video what's the cost? I understand locations and prices may vary so an estimate is good enough. Thanks!!
I have several large cacti and some baby trees. This would work Great for me
this is just fun to watch
I wih lowe’s would open stores in Malaysia 🇲🇾
Building inspectors my ass,
My property, me and the HOA go around and around all the time on my greenhouse in the back yard. Had to get dogs to keep them out my backyard😂😂😂
Find out what code authority book they use for code enforcement. For instance in Michigan they use Building Official Code Authority or BOCA. Under temporary structures you can build what is called a temporary non-conforming structure. You can build smaller structures such as tool sheds, storage etc without a permit. You have to adhere to side yard and back yard setbacks from your property lot lines.
this is my dream, having my own farm land, animals running around, that famous red barn, that silo n of course plants everywhere... right now i need to endure my job inside a cubicle n living in a high rise apartment with loud neighbors...
It's a good life, but prepare to wake up every day at 4 AM and start taking care of everything. Also, no travelling, no vacations, and all your money goes to the animals, lol
Lovely :)
I wonder what would happen to the greenhouse after a Noreaster comes to town? How about snowloads? Don't believe it would last through a rough winter in NY. Looks nice though..
what about waterproofing?
Ive ordered a green house for my son. He has very bad asthma and every noon i let him medidate there.
how do you deal with water from flooding in with heavy rains
How sturdy are these things? Wisconsin weather is rough. Wind would be my biggest concern
This should be titled: "How to ASSEMBLE a Greenhouse" ... it isn't building one, it is putting together a pre-fab kit.
This is not a green house...but a tiny house 😍
Thanks
I am wondering if they have smaller one but almost like this
this is so awesome!
Believe me, it’s not.
I want a 20 feet high greenhouse!
Do greenhouses need a heat source during the winter? Garden growing area 5a
Just to make sure I understand it correctly, does the wood go where the water is most and where the termites are?
Nice
Lol at the furnished greenhouse -- bring a fan in to cool off on hot days. Or just go outside where it's 10 degrees cooler dingus
yeah because someone wants to lug a fan outside and lug it back inside dingus...
This guy doesn't realize that there are people who live where it's below freezing for 1/2 the year.
@@Bolensgoldrush LOL right, sure looks like Siberia to me 😂
@@TriniLush7 Obviously don't do it if you are physically incapable of moving 5-10 pounds, but I'm talking more to the average person...
Excellent video.
How much did everything cost?
Nice Video, How about a price? Warranty info would be great as well.
Thanks for the share.
All the products we used are linked in the description, Eddie! This particular 12x8 greenhouse kit costs about $2600. 10-year warranty.
Lowe's Home Improvement looks like this went out of stock fast.
Look good but I would like to know the price and people come install it for this ?
what size is this green house
I thought plants need UV light? The special grow lights emit UV don't they?
My dream😌🤔🌟🌼
Any idea where I can find replacement panels? They are blown away by 30+ mph winds! Make sure you order extra clips on eBay too!
If the panels blew out they are not Monticello. Monticello fits into channels. No clips needed to hold these panels in.
I want to build one!
Yea, I wonder 💭
You guys, do you install this in my property?
accessory only if they find it out
hell where i live you need a permit for a pool and most people with above pools dont' have one. An never knew until after we took ares down
edit i build my own so i could use it for tropical plants and the fact that i live where we can get 100mpg winds during winter and fall i dont know if these kits could hold up with that
Where can i get this in Malaysia? Anyone know?
Отлично!Хоть заказывай с Америки такую теплицу. Как всё продуманно!
This seems like tempting fate in hurricane country.
Beutifull.....

Does greenhouses work well in the winter?
Mhm
How does this meet seismic codes
I have an elevated deck 12 x 16...can I add it to it ???
The doors are only about 5'6" high, so if you are short, np, but if tall it is an issue walking in it.
Always with an inspection. Living in the city sounds horrible.
@Alyssa Reeder I live in the city and I have a big terrace with lots of plants, its perfect. So trust me, it isnt.
@@ElinWinblad but thats not the case for all of the people in the city, I really have a big terrace where my cats play and my plants grow like seriously big.
Some people like cities and other people like country, nothing wrong with any of them, I dont find any of them "sounding horrible".
If does, if I’m building something on my property I’m not getting anyone’s permission.
The inspection is meant to make sure what you're building is safe. People get ripped off or waste time and money all the time trying to get around codes and inspections. It can be irritating but it's there to protect you not control you.
@Sizzling Grill Depends where you live. I don't need a permit for anything other than building a new permanent structure (which doesn't include greenhouses, sheds, etc..)
Morning how much do all of this cost
Why did they build this in the shade?
How secure is this structure in hurricane prone areas?
On a scale of tent to cave I'd rate it as a badminton ball.
I was told it can withstand 65mph wind
Mine's screwed to a cinder block foundation on a concrete slab, and it's been through 3 hurricanes so far. 120+ mph winds with gusts up to 150+ mph. It would likely survive sustained 150 to 175, but I'd probably rope down the top along with bungieing the windows shut and velcro-tying the doors shut if that were headed my way. It's not so much the wind as what's in it or what might fall on the structure that'd be the end of it. If a tree were to fall on it or a tornado were to throw something at it fast enough, it'd crumple like an aluminum can.
But, yeah... as far as winds alone, it can take a beating from a hurricane so long as it's secured. It's well designed, strong, thick aluminum... and mine is secured with 2.5" screws every 2 ft or so into cinder block capstones atop 2 layers of cinder blocks all mortared with concrete to a concrete slab below.
The kit comes with tie-downs -- like... 1 ft long coils meant to be dug into the earth so you can rope down the top of the structure in high winds. I haven't used them yet, but if an eye of a hurricane heads my way, I might use them just in case.
You ever watch Wizard of Oz?

How much does this project cost?
With all that labor @ $20/hr. about $99,000
Hey great job do you want come build mine I want 12ft by 20ft greenhouse
how much the costs to complete that greenhouse?
2600 I thin
This is the green house I want.....How much will it cost to have it built for me?......John.
2600$

How do you keep your vegetables alive during winter🤔
Following
Propane heat and get cheap black garbage cans.
Fill the cans with water and mix in calcium chloride from pool stores until it won't dissolve any further in the water. The black cans and water in them will absorb the heat from the sunlight and release it at night when it's cold. The calcium chloride will prevent the water from freezing and is effective to -25 degrees Fahrenheit.
Choose cold hearty varieties and research heat stabilization
I grow cherry tomatoes in mine all winter. During the day, the sun keeps things warm if you've built in a sunny spot, and at night, I have lots of water jugs (re-used) under tables and on shelves below the plants to maintain some heat as well as an electric space heater with a thermal switch so it turns on only when temps drop below 60 F. I've also done a bit of weatherproofing to seal gaps where air might escape. I've had many nights when it was down to 10 F outside, but it never dropped below 55F inside. I'm in the south east, though. You might have to do more to insulate it depending upon how harsh your winters are. Bubble wrap or other insulation can make a world of difference. I used bubble wrap during the winters on a previous greenhouse, but haven't found it necessary with this one.

Building inspector for a shed
lol
Building inspectors gotta eat, same as worms.
More like a land inspector
They just want fees for permits
Nice but I don't think the structure is strong enough to handle real weather. Might work in Hawaii but not northern winters or southern hurricanes or other weather.
Idell Henning there’s other weather?
@@Grimm_Book I know that! No matter what the weather if it is extreme it will not hold up. It is not the design fault but mother nature does not play nice.
I have one - a 16ft model (same as the 12 ft model, but with a 4 ft extension kit). I built mine on a concrete slab base with a small cinder block foundation on top (2 cinder block high plus a capstone using concrete mortar) and used tapcon concrete screws to fix it to the capstones.
It's already been through 3 hurricanes in the southeast - including 120+ mph winds with gusts up to 150 mph locally. There are plenty of owners in the north that have had deep snowfall on the roof just fine, and others who have video of 175 mph winds howling, but it not budging.
I had an older greenhouse from a different company that was 12 x 10 x 10 (in height) that was flimsy - lost panels due to failing clips in high winds and whose structure caved because our home's chimney cap was torn off and hit the doors at high speed. I got this model as a replacement specifically because it could withstand high winds. The aluminum beams are crazy thick and strong, and the panels slide between the aluminum beams, so no loose clips to worry about, and the panels won't go anywhere as they're wedged into the structure. The panels are over twice as thick as my previous greenhouse's -- which also survived more than one hurricane (though a few panels had to be recovered from the yard which is why I really like how these new panels work) Screwing the structure into cinder block and concrete was our choice as an upgrade to give it more height, but also ensure it couldn't blow away - it'd have to be torn apart by winds to go anywhere.
For hurricane season, I just bungie the windows shut and use a velcro tie on the door handles so they won't rattle. I have some additional rope with tie-downs that came with the install to help keep the roof from catching wind should we get the eye of a hurricane or a tornado, but so far haven't used it.
It's not indestructible, but nothing is. I suspect it'd take 175+ mph winds just fine, but whatever is in those winds would be a hazard. A tree falling on it, for example, would end it - it is only aluminum and plastic after all. But, that's true for most anything. A vehicle, a garage, etc. A direct hit from a tornado would likely destroy it as well, but that's true of most structures - even 2 story brick homes.
The upside is that my homeowner's insurance would cover the damages. I purchased this one partially with money from our last (inferior) greenhouse that was totalled during a simple tropical storm because our chimney cap struck it. It's odd because the winds weren't especially high - just happened to catch the chimney cap just right to tear it off & apparently the roofer hadn't fixed it as securely as it should have been after the last time it'd been worked on.
so these are like Pre Fab houses. Must gave been in existence for ages. But popular in some countries. In America people do stuff by themselves. Labor is cheap in some places, so, this stuff may not sell. But it looks so cool. Those walls are like Plastic materials? ah okay, Lowe’s is a store. I’d google it....

im building this in my dad’s farm when he gets alzheimer or something because he wont let me do it as long as he’s sane
Brasil por que voce nao tem esses negocios fodas?
2x4’s are not the best choice for greenhouse foundation.
Exactly, when I do mine I will use 6x6 treated wood buried half way into the soil. Topping the 6x6s with treated 2x8s would be even better.
... this is why I live in the country. 😜

Who sits inside a greenhouse that’s like the hottest place to sit in the summer good for plants long term not humans should have built a gazebo
It's kinda common sense that ppl would lounge in there when it's too hot... 🙄

So, these people built a greenhouse to serve coffee and entertain guests? 😂😂. Freakin yuppies.
CORRECTION: These people built a $2600.00 greenhouse to serve coffee, entertain guests and hoard toilet paper.
I know this is irrelevant to your main point, but aren’t Yuppies referring to a group of people in the early 80’s that we’re born in the 50’s/60’s?
James gross the term Yuppie was originally a shortening of “Young upwardly mobile professional”. It is a term that can be applied to any younger professional and usually superficial people that have money to burn. The term has mainly been replaced with the term Hipster. Although a Hipster can range from a poor vegan to a Rich minimalist soy freak in loafers with no socks.
And ❓ That’s their business
City folks. 😂😂😂😂
