Thanks for the very kind words about our hoop house. The polycarbonate panels allowed us a much more durable design that would withstand the hail, high UV, and snow loads at 8000' in the mountains of CO. I hope you and your viewers find it useful.
I think they do... nice GH :)
Sorry 2 dissappoint, I hv promoted this since 2006, I am recognized by who’s who, tho they didn’t say y, might be 4 something else, hv proof,
Thanks to your videos I stumbled across years ago, I was able to build one that has allow us to grow citrus, subtropical, and tropical plants up here. It has survive through ridiculous wind, hail storms, and blistering cold weather down to -5F. Thanks again!
That is a glowing testimony!
thanks
I built several back in the 1960's but squared off the top. All movable, worked great. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool!
Well Alan, you started it here!! I went on UA-cam to find a simple Greenhouse that could be built simply. Yours popped up- I had built several shelters for animals with Cattle Panels and a tarp or other materials, however no greenhouse!
Sooo I watched your video multiple times and did my own thing... it took me 2 weeks and I had an awesome green house with sides that rolled up as well as chicken wire on the bottom to keep out other kritters. And two benches for my seedlings, etc... I absolutely loved it... I also got shade cloth and used that... then in April... tornadoes 🌪 hit... it only takes 1 small one to do massive damage!! We were blessed that the tornado hit our greenhouse and not our house... it twisted our greenhouse and ripped the plastic off... the studs i used was 4" off as well as the door.
Sooo this month we will be rebuilding it and putting it back in use... we also have used your basic design to build a HoopCoop and A Sheep pin, Goat Hoop House, a Dog HoopHouse and a Hay Hoop Hut.
We've planned to build a larger greenhouse that's raised 24" up, and are so excited about this. These are relatively inexpensive to build and sure do hold up to our crazy Texas weather!
I didn't realize you have plans, so I just purchased them for a young couple we are mentoring and teaching to grow your own food.
Thank you for sharing this... love the wisdom and knowledge you share.
Blessings
Thank YOU Grams for all your support and comments!
Love it. I made a grow tunnel out of cattle panels this oast year and threw a blue shade cloth over the top third of it and it really did help keep my plants from burning up. Some still did but the majority of them were happy for the shade above. I'm in north Texas, NW of Dallas and we never know what to expect from Mother Nature....
That is awesome!
I should have done that too, but I kept thinking the heat wave would subside... it didn't :(
@@BIGALTX yeah, it's a crap shoot on whatever weather we'll have from one day to the next. I'm thinking Mother Nature is bi-polar or something, and is off her meds! LOL
Stay safe Hun!
Thanks T.P. Best videos are made in Texas Only ❤️ you got to appreciate this gentle Gentleman … sure knows his Stuff🙏🤘🏾👀👌🏾
Wow... I appreciate that Patrick!
I made my 3 panel in 2014, built it in my back yard before moving it closer to my garden after I prepared a spot for it. I used cheap landscape timbers for most parts because they were cheap. Had a windstorm within the first year or 2 try to cave in one side so I built in shelves on that side to push the side back out. It has served my well ever since serving to get plants started in the spring, keep greens going late into the fall and as storage of my tomato cages during the winter.
Good to know Walt
Glad it worked out well for you!
Love it. Found your video years ago, going to revamp my little one and now I have plenty of ideas to think on.
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely, thank you so much! I just can't stop thinking about putting it on wheels somehow 😉 maybe pull it around my yard if I want to. Bet there's someone that's done it. Perhaps an easy click in system of some sort. Then back down once I get done playing with it pulling it or winching it around. Who knows. I just know I feel creative for the first time in a long while.
@@2trntbls469 Good for you!! :)
We were just stationed at Fort Stewart, GA and managed to find a property with 1.25 acres to rent. This Texas girl’s heart is singing and this is the first thing I mentioned to my husband to build. Thank you for putting good knowledge out there ❤
That is awesome!
I'm soooo glad I can help
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
In addition to my mobile coop, I built one of these to use as a small 4 wheeler garage for my neighbor. He doesnt have a car and gets around our back woods holler everywhere on his 4 wheeler, which for years hes just covered with an old tarp of whatever he had.
So I built a 2 panel hoops garage, roughly 8x 7 and about 6.5 ft high. Besides parking his 4 wheeler to keep it out of the elements, he keeps a few other items handy such as his heavy coveralls and rain clothes, as well as a few pioneer tools such as shovel, axe and snow shovel where its handy to get to. Thanks for the design inspiration. It's so universal and adaptable for multiple uses.
My best friend is getting ready to build a small barn to keep some feed barrels, nails of hay and garden tools out in the woods near where he raises his pigs and chickens.
So glad I could help :)
Thank you again.
Thank you too!
We just bought 18 4x16 panels at Tyler Tractor Supply. Lowes and Home Depot were short on plastic, but we found some 6 mil clear. Really like your green house.
Big Box store plastic will only last about a year (unless they are selling greenhouse plastic now)
You're best bet is to buy *true* GH plastic
I have a link below this video to some good plastic
Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏
My pleasure
I built a two panel one about 8 or 9 yrs ago and still going strong on the original greenhouse grade plastic! Snow load no problem here in Minnesota. I do wish I had ponied up for the 2 ft risers though to get the extra head room and maybe a foot wider or so. But I am very happy I came across your original video! It was one of the best ideas for sure!
Thanks Terry
8 or 9 years may be a record for GH plastic!!
What a nice surprise to see my hoophouse in your video! The shade cloth wasn't anywhere near big enough so I'll be using a much larger one for this coming season. It makes a huge difference in the temperature. I'll also be upping the percentage to 50 instead of the 30 I used this last summer.
Good to know about the % of shade cloth
Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year! Thank you for all your sharing of knowledge! God bless you. Have a prosperous and healthy year.
Been following you for over 8 years and fell in love with your cattle panel greenhouse, which is why I still watch you!
I now live in East Texas, moved from Arkansas to be closer to family.
Wow... thanks for the kind words.
Where in ETX?

Nice. I'm not too far from ya
My twin lives in Kilgore
thanks for the beginning of a real winner.
Our pleasure!
Excellent start to a new year with this video
👍😎
Not doubting that you came up with the idea independently, but the basic design was fairly common in northwest Oklahoma and southwest Kansas in the early 1970s. We just didn't have video recorders and youtube to post it on.
I love these Texas Prepper greenhouses! They stand up to the wind and heavy snow, and they are perfect for small backyard areas. We use ours to extend the season in Wyoming. We get it going as early as possible. We put ours on a foundation built with 4x6s to raise it up some, and I don't know if is necessary, but I put in a 2x4 ridge beam for snow. Haven't had any issues. We grow tomates and peppers in it, in wicking tubs, every season, and they do great. Bought the plans some years ago, and have them in a notebook. Have build several with friends.
So nice to hear from you
Glad I could be of help
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! It is always fun for me to learn more about gardening. It has been a year but I still consider myself as a novice. I developed an interest for gardening when I saw my neighbor's glass greenhouse. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLLLL! I got to know that they bought it from Mulberry Greenhouses and bought myself a polycarbonate greenhouse for sale.
Wonderful!
I bought your e-plans and never thanked you. Thanks, it worked like a charm.
No need to thank me
Thank YOU for your purchase!
thanks for the idea
Most welcome 😊
@@BIGALTX this is what I did ua-cam.com/video/jUcXq0C30XQ/v-deo.htmlsi=FIF3KjxLBU4GMu39
I’ve built 3 of your plans. Your video was one of the first UA-cam videos I watched.
That's fantastic!!
I remember watching it!!!!!!
Very interesting
Glad you think so!
Awesome video, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Happy. New. Year, I was watching your green house. I've been building hoop houses since. 1994. Out of stick panels and t post. Gone threw many hurricanes on gulf coast. Only damage was the plastic and shade cloth. Yours looks great. I included mine with stock panels across the front. Worked great
That is awesome!
I just used two panels on mine but I’ve raised a lot of plants in it. I’m thinking of building another one for my sheep. I use one of mine for a chicken brooder.
They make great sheep/goat sheds
Here's one I had: ua-cam.com/video/SSjX1x1jNMs/v-deo.html
Thanks for this video. I watched your original video last week and I saved it. I will be ordering your ebook on Amazon too. I am moving back to California the end of July. So I am making plans ahead of time for what I would like to add first in my backyard. I absolutely love your small cattle panel greenhouse and it will definitely work for my growing needs. Thanks for sharing your awesome greenhouse build with the WORLD. Be Blessed ~ Ms. J
Awesome!
Thank you so much for the kind words :)
I definitely need to build me one of these. Thanks for sharing 👍
You bet. Thanks for watching
We built this type of greenhouse at WTSU back in the early 1980s. Fast, easy, low cost. However, because of the wind, snow, weather and the wind, here in the Texas Panhandle, we’ve incorporated trampoline frames into the engineering since the late 1980.
Good to know, thanks for commenting! 😊
Tarp between the mesh, reinforced with rebar, staked down, snow or wind will not damage,
The polycarbonate panels are good until it hails, then it's full of holes. .......fellow Texas gardener
Depends on the size of the hail. The polycarbonate panels are much better than fiberglass or PVC for handling hail.
At least that’s what I understand.

I always wondered why we put clear polycarbonate corrugated roofing on our green houses then spend hundreds shading it. Home Depot sells 26 in. x 12 ft. Polycarbonate Corrugated Roof Panel in White for about $40. Also available is green and grey. Most young plants can't handle direct sunlight and extreme heat so starting with a colored panel could be just the ticket. I bought a harbor freight 10x12 from a friend then modified it. I love seeing the ideas folks have. Look how your idea has grown! Thanks for being the catalyst!
I just wonder what the Shade Value is... I'm told a 40% shade cloth works well on veggies
The smoke colored panels may be dark enough, but not too dark... don't know
I built mine this fall!
Hahaha... GREAT!
Like it? 😎
I built a three panel greenhouse. I used greenhouse plastic and used the white plastic off steel fora shade. I also buried drainage pipe around the greenhouse and I push air through them to help heat and cool it
Nice!
Could you please explain how you push air through the drain pipe? I was planning to think of a way to put a couple of my trees away in the winter and this may def come in handy.
@@deanacanfield200 I dug a 4’ deep trench around the greenhouse and buried the drain pipe. I have a fan that blows air through the drain pipes that helps heat and cool the greenhouse
@@fredriebel6176 Is the air from outside? I mean....I can see that helping in the summer to cool.....but.if it's cold, freezing out, how does that help?
@@deanacanfield200 the temperature underground is 58 ish degrees it will cool and heat
Allan, I just purchased your PDF waiting to receive it. I saw your original video that you did in 2011 and was going to try to build one but life got away from me LOL Definitely going to build one now especially with all the garbage food that is in the stores now days. Fresh is always better. Thanks for the video. God Bless!!
I sent it a few hours ago.
Hope you enjoy it, and thanks again!
alan
Thank you, My cattle is almost 7 years old now. I put behind my sheed facing south So I turned it into a lean to. I used green house plastic which is the of it's life. So I noticed that only a 12 X 8 side is really used. So I am looking into options. From the top, shed side down(roof) isn't used so I am going to put side paneling of somekind on all walls that are not letting in uswable sunliht. Was going to put wiggle wire and new green house plastic on the sunny side. But not I like the idea of Polycarbonate Sheet or sheets instead. At 65 years of age I started looking into stuff that lasts.
Amen to that.
But you’re just a young ‘un. I’ve got seven years on you!😎
You have a video even older than the one you linked, you have one published Apr 23, 2011. Hello from my homestead in northwest florida. I been using cattle panels with t-post on each side and tarp over as a tractor shed for years, and before they were a tractor shed they were trellises in my garden at my previous homestead. I like the way Kevin attaches his using metal strap and screws because they can be taken apart easily and repurposed.
Glad to know you are using cattle panels. They are so very versatile! 👍🏻 😊
@@BIGALTX yes they are and I been thinking about making a hoop house for years but just never could decide on best for me design. I don't usually do permanent because I like to be able to change it up as my areas evolve. I really like the idea of being on skids. It could still be secured by maybe drilling holes in skids and driving rebar with a bent top end so then when I want to move it I can just pull the rebar and hook it to the tractor and pull it to different location. I plan to remove the plastic during summer and put shade cloth over mine. I use a lot of shade cloth last couple years, I been just putting posts and coated clothesline wire to attach it over top of the plants but I been thinking about doing it with cattle panel hoop house. I don't like the elevated ones for myself but each to their own.
I made one when you did your first video! Getting ready to do it again!!!
That's awesome!
Thank you for sharing your design so many years ago. Your greenhouse was the inspiration for me to design my own mobile chicken coop. At the time, about 8 years ago, although you mentioned using it for a coop, I hadnt seen anyone else use it for that.
Do I built mine 8x12, using 3 panels long. Its 6' high in the center. But I also used cattle panels for the end walls and for doors, as well as an interior dividing wall so i have 2 compartments inside if I want to seperate the flock in 2.
I use a heavy duty tarp for a covering which I need to replace about every 2 or 3 years. I'm getting ready to replace with corrugated metal roofing soon.
All of the fixtures inside are attached to the walls and coop roof so nothing is on the ground, which makes moving it easier. The nest box is attached to the inside wall. Bulk feeders hang from the roof wires. I have plasson bell waters and 5 gallon buckets hanging also. Plus there is a long 2x4, oriented on edge which extends the length of the coop for roosting.
For the cattle panel end panels, I oriented them vertically and cut them a bit long so the cutoff wires ran Wild. Then I interlaced the long wires into the edge of the roofing and bent them around the edge of roof wire to interlock the wall and roof into a strong connection. Then cut out a hole for a door on each end and made a cattle panel door as well.
I move it about once per week by sliding four 2" PVC pipes, 10' long under it then pushing the coop on top of the pipes to it's new location 8' over. Although around 300+ lbs, my now 14 yo daughter can move it herself and has been doing so for about 6 years.
This is a phenomenal design and was totally inspired by the humble Texas Prepper2 Greenhouse video you published years ago. Thank you so much.
Thank YOU for sharing your journey and your expertise with us all 👍😎
Great video Alan, been watching your videos for years now and have enjoyed them all thanks again for your channel.
Glad you like them!
Happy new year Allen
You too Joel
Thank you for the design. I'll just assume you are correct and the originator. I build a super deluxe one that is 10x20, and 3' lower sides, so it's about 7.5' in the middle. Rise beds down one side, hardware cloth surface shelves down the other, and a bench on the window end, to do potting and store all of our gardening stuff. Also storage under bottom plant starting shelves. Auto opener on the window. Permanent. I have two beams (2x4x10') down each side from door support to window support at the ceiling. It can't rock at all in wind or heavy snow loads (michigan).
I took everything I saw from dozens of videos. One other thing I did was put 5" thick crushed concrete on floor to act as a thermal mass heating. Reradiation. And did the vents on the bottom which was a cool idea I saw here.
The funny thing is, when I first starting to think about greenhouses a few years ago, there were only like 5 videos at that time showing this type of design. Last year I revisited before creating my exact design for it and there were dozens if not 100. I haven't even seen them all. The popularity of this design has exploded in the last 5 years. I don't have a youtube channel, but I might make a video of how nice this turned out, just to show you, and again thank your for the genesis of a whole concept. I just noticed my neighbor, who also homesteads, and now she has one too. Independently of each other, because my open area is buried in the woods out of sight. They also have a standard hoop house that's all crumpled from snow and discarded in their junk pile. That was the selling point for me is dealing with wind and snow and I didn't want to uncover it every year. It may be overkill, but my overhead joists are not only good for stability, but I can hang things from them for the plants to grow on, or electrical outlets, and water spigots. We got a bit fancy with this and it's somewhat of a she-shed for my wife.
Thanks for the comment. Do a video! I would like to see it.
Thanks for sharing this video Alan! I've been thinking about a small greenhouse for several years. Perhaps this might be the year? Oh, and Happy New Year and looking forward to another great year of videos!
You too David.. blessings
Happy New Year TP!
You too!
It was your video that I found 1st that started me building one on my homestead
Wow... glad I could help!
Very nice work. I,m going to be building one in Guatemala.... Snow wont be an issue but will definitely shade will be. Thanks for all this very valuable information
I am so glad to help. Good luck to you.
And… Greetings from Texas!
@@BIGALTX Thank you, I'll send pictures when its up a running
I so swear I need one of those! 😳😳😳
Hahaha... build it!!
You can do it :)
Very durable. Have built 2 shade structures like that for protecting plants. My small green houses use pvc hoops. My large one I used chain link top rail pipe. Tunnels are very efficient structures. Wind, snow doesn't hurt them. Mine have survived 70 mph winds. I have found that here in N Az the white plastic lasts longer. Have gotten 6-7 years on my smaller ones.
6-7 years is GREAT for plastic!!
@@BIGALTX I tried the clear on my bigger green house. Maybe got 3 years out of it. Recovered it with the white. The two smaller houses (white) have 5 and 6 years on them. Still not brittle. When using PVC pipe because of off gassing I cover the pipe with white duct tape. I initially used plastic on the ends, but later made them solid. Plants don't seem to mind the loss of light. I have a used storm door on my big house. I put vents in the back walls of all of them. I installed a misting system in the big house. Thus far all have been working pretty well. I have heat in one of the smaller houses.
Thank you for taking us to memory lane 😁
My husband and I build a green house with the corrugated policrbon panels, but we need to figure out how to create more venelation. So, if you build it with this material, please make sure you design it with enought venelation.
Keep up the good work
God bless you
Thanks GV
I like the vent on the bottom like one of the pictures in this video show
@@BIGALTX yes. Me too. I will probably make that change on mine. We only put 4 winsows. 2 in the front and 2 in the back, and is not enough.
I never saw your greenhouse on UA-cam or anyone's. I built a greenhouse on my back deck many years ago. I used a frame in the middle and put two together in the middle and three connected in a row for a total of six cattle panels.
You are an innovative lady... thanks for sharing!
Just bought your plans
Hahaha.. I just sent them!!!
Thanks again
alan
Thanks SO much for this video, and all you've done to share this awesome idea with others. On shade... for anyone looking for alternatives to shade cloth, like, can't afford that but do have materials/woods on hand, ( and for whatever reason, moving it to under a tree isn't an option) I was thinking about a pergola. For the original height & length ones in particular, one could make a pergola, overhead trellis thing for a vine to grow on, which doesn't leaf out fully until hot weather OR you move to greenhouse to that location when u need to. I mainly want to use mine for seed starting and season extension, not really to grow in all summer, but obviously for many that's what they want. A word of caution on growing things in greenhouses when u don't really have to : Studies, cited by Paul Gautchi (of Back to Eden gardening fame) have shown that produce may not have the same nutritional benefits when grown under any sort of barrier between them and the sun, whether glass or plastic, even the best greenhouse plastics. He specified tomatoes, saying that ones grown out in the sun have a thing in them - in their skins- which, when eaten/absorbed by people, helps protect us against skin cancer. One's in a greenhouse - I'm assuming that was the only difference...??- had little to none of it. So, for me, just another piece of evidence on why to grow as God intended, whenever possible :).
But I do want to make use of season extension for things which then can't be moved, and in my smaller, fenced-in garden ( I'm renting...) it won't be easy to move my hoophouse over these later, so I'm gunna go for early cantaloupe and cucumbers by trellising em in there this spring. God willing. Am finishing our build today :) !!! And my pots of Petit Gris de Rennes cantaloupe & Armenian pale green cucumber are up ! ( haven't had either variety b4, and I normally HIGHLY prefer pickling cukes to eat/snack on all summer, but wanted to try these, mainly for my husband and for sale.
Thanks for sharing AJ
I hadn't heard Paul G say that, so I'll have to do some research
Thanks again!
I love the idea. I wish I had the plot to build one I hear it's the way of growing in the future. I don't think that would save citrus trees from 10°. I used shade cloth during the heat wave and they didn't work so well for me. I hope we don't experience another year like last year.
Me neither
That was tough
I think citrus in a GH ... covered with a few layers, might survive
But not sure
I'm going to just cover some cattle panels with hardware cloth for hail protection, the wind won't effect this much and I can deployt a rain voer over it when needed, I'll get er done soon Inshallah!
👍😎
happy new year and to let you know I have built one jut a bit larger than yours;;;or longer I should say;;;It is full of my sweets flowers and a small portion for my plant starts;;;lol;;;somebody took it over so I be making another one for me;;;;I also purchased a air pump with six ports for air in water installed in two trash cans 30 gal I think with three bubblers to each can cuts down on mosquitos and can make tea in one for summertime watering while the other boils out contaminants from city water;;;;have been using mine for four years now and no stress so far on plastic;;;;I also have shade cloth over mine;;;firs 150 temp morning when I went to open for the day made that happen;;;;lol;;;thank you for the idea and again Happy New Year
Glad it's working for you
And yes... they can get hot QUICK!!
OMG ou couldn't find it on you tube.... COME ON in California in 1982 we were using i]these n our 3400 acre ranch/farm, first started with metal fencing and then went to strong wire welded together and then to pig panels. WAY BEFORE you tube of google, you just made my father who is 82 laugh almost fell out of his chair.
So, you used these in a greenhouse design?
I bet there are way more than hundreds of them being built I thought about building one.
Probably right
I was being conservative... probably a few thousand 👍😎
@@BIGALTX i don't know either but it's got to be in the thousands. Where all in the world are they building them. It's a cheap way to get a fairly durable quick easy to build greenhouse.
The man that started it all. Excellent job, Alan!
Thanks KP :)
We've made a couple of these also and they ended up becoming chicken hoop coops! LOL
Me too. They are so versatile and needs change, right? :)
To make it wider, and not make it shorter. You could take hose clamps. And put two panels together.
Sure :)
Built one (THANK YOU FOR THE IDEA) about 4 years ago, and it makes me smile still. There's a couple videos of it on my channel if you want to check it out. But yeah, you had some awesome inspiration and genius with this.
Thanks for the kind words!
You made ME smile :)
Hey folks, this when I first viewed It was in my mind brilliant. Alan thanks for sharing this, it's helped thousands of folks I'm sure.
Glad you enjoyed it
Really appreciate your content. I'm currently putting wicking tubs together for fruit trees ((so I can take them with me when I find where my roots belong)). In the future, I will build your greenhouse, it is the most thorough, easily understood design that I've seen and I feel certain I am able to build it myself.....may take me longer than you, but I'm not trying to win a competition 😂.
You know, you mention the portability of the greenhouse AND how much you like the one that isn't portable. Ummm you could have one of each......just sayinn...... 😊
Hahaha... let me know when you get to where you're goin' 👍😎
@TexasPrepper2 as long as you let us all know when you decide to have two greenhouses......besides a mobile one will allow you to cover tender crops in unexpected freezes.......lol and I hear you can turn it into a chicken coop, goat/sheep shed, shed shed.....well.... 😉 you get the idea. Have blessed weekend.
Hi, thanks so much for all this great info. Any info on putting in roof vents on a cattle panel greenhouse?
Not that I know of
I always just use the automatic window vent:
Here's the link for the Automatic Vent Door Opener:
amzn.to/2AYXAwS
Works great
Might also need a fan on really hot days
@@BIGALTX … I think maybe one of those battery operated chicken coop doors with timer might work as an operable vent … what do you think ?
@@bluemoon8268
Might work.
But you'd have to know when it's going to get hot to schedule the timer...
How are you keeping humidity out & heat in? I've lost a lime & lemon tree to cold.... I had several heat lamps inside. Any help or direction would be appreciated! Happy New Year 🎈❤️🎉
Citrus is tough to raise
Heating the GH, plus several layers of cover on a really cold night might help
Here's an old video I did: ua-cam.com/video/zXSMIeSuJLE/v-deo.html
@@BIGALTX … I’ve seen how using those small Christmas lights all over your tree will provide heat to keep them alive … of course you need to cover in plastic to keep the heat in …
Good stuff. We get some snow here in the PNW, but I am concerned about wind. How will this hold up when we have 60 MPH nor'easter blowing for a week with 80 MPH gusts?
Mine held up to some pretty strong winds.
I would say they were around 60
The wind seems to just roll over it because of the shape
I had actually built one 7x12 in 1997. Lol
Hahaha… good for you!
👍🏻😊
Very nice! I will seriously consider purchasing your design. If purchased on Amazon, will I be able to print the ebook? Or, is it on Kindle only?
Kindle only if you purchase from Amazon.
I also have the e-book in a PDF file that is linked under this video. I believe it is cheaper too.
I have seen others claim this is their design, and I got a laugh out of that. Most of us know you as the King of the cattle panel greenhouse! (-: If you update your plan using a refined design from Bearly Homsesteating I would gladly buy that plan from you as well, just like I bought the first pan... If you make an updated plan please include the nice vents at the ends as shown here in some of the options - love that. And with the Bearly Homesteading plan the roof plastic should come down on the "outside" of the wall so there isn't a space there for water to get in and rot etc.. Since there is already a plan for a two-panel greenhouse maybe you could update this plan to be 3 panels with the 24" sidewall - which should give a couple more feet in width and still be small enough to pull around on skids... Incorporating a little overhang on each end as well would help with water getting into the corners, even just a few inches of overhang on the corrugated plastic would be great. - Something I saw a while back was a simple little set of wheels that you could lift up one end of the greenhouse and bolt on a wheel to each of two corners so you could live the other end up with an ATV, tractor, or whatever you had and pull it on those temporary wheels. Looking forward to buying the plans for version two from you! Thanks for the effort you put into this - it has really kicked off a little culture of its own!
Hahaha... thanks
No plans for a 2nd Greenhouse e-Book... yet
The wheels idea is a good one if it's going to be dragged around
👍😎
I claim this design, tarp between panels, since 2006,
@@eddybrevet6816 Cool, we'd love to see your video and if you have plans available, etc. We've all been doing something like this since forever - this is just the first well-done video sharing that info. There is plenty of duplication on this all over the place.
Can’t claim I was first, tho I recognized it’s significance, promoted it since 2006, hv mentioned it in comments several years,
It ain’t my first, so let another go, @@tnyberg67
I live in a very arid climate Temps get to about 110 in July I'm wondering if while these Temps are going would a shade screen be good for months just to keep that heat down or do most of the plants need direct sun? I was playing with the idea of doing a permanent covered roof and just letting passive sunlight do its thing, but not sure how'd they do.i know jalapeños do great here with as much sun as they can get but things like peas and cucumbers nor so much?
I don't know your climate very well, but I think you'll need to chose a shade cloth that lets in SOME of the sun.
I chose a 40% shade cloth and it worked GREAT for me.
Shade cloth I used: amzn.to/477A7UQ

We built one 2 months ago
Nice!!!
Any built with hardware cloth? If so, good way to attach, etc? I’m high desert and have ground squirrels galore that eat through plastic or shade cloth and chipmunks that go right through chicken wire. I downloaded your ebook from Amazon! I am a totally clueless lady who just has been wanting a garden for so many years :) Thanks for your videos.
You could always put hardware cloth over the cattle panels
I've done that in the past for a chicken hut.
I put chicken wire ON TOP of the cattle panels. You could do hardware cloth like that too
Mine is steel and concrete, has lights, electricity, water and is heated.
Cost?
Ya . . . Let's not go there, but hey, you can't take it with you.
I have window screen both sides as well as above the door for ventilation. The clear part is polycarbonate.
I use horse panel for shelves. The whole shebang is welded solid.
Photo? Size?
Nice!
@@betsybright6519
25 feet long, 9 feet tall, square vertical sides, concrete slab, welded steel construction, galvanized horse panel shelves welded in place, electricity, water, compressed air spigot, LP gas heat vent from my house runs full length, screened south side around and above door to use prevailing winds for ventilation, 6" vents at top of west & north walls, polycarbonate vertical wall on south and west-facing walls - north and east wall are my house and Tornado shelter walls. Bedroom and living room windows open into greenhouse for added ventilation as well as letting that wonderful greenhouse smell waft through the house. All this description in lieu of a picture, which I'm pretty sure I have no way of posting here. I grow exclusively in 2-gallon food-grade wicking tubs and use former Kratky rain gutter tubs mounted on special shelves on my house wall inside the greenhouse as wicking seed starters using potting mix in 2" net cups. I always have a backup crop waiting in the wings as it were. Carrots and Bunching onions and even gourmet garlic are directly-sewn into 2-gallon tubs. I also have three switch-controlled 2-bulb fluorescent grow lights on the ceiling. Cost? My kids' inheritance is down a bit is all I'll say (plenty). Hey, if you're gonna do something, you might just as well overdo it, is what I always say. Can't take it with you!
Im SO. DOING the shade.cloth idea.
The vent on hinges is awesome too..but way past my ABILITY.
Ours looks .great.from.a distance but is so.shoddy up .close...we.have zero carpentry skills..seriously
I.qualify for worst made. Video..its hilarious but.works..and.we used.scrap lumber...
But in January 2023 its getting over 100 in there with door and.window open!!! At night it looses almost all heat
But kept my plants alive during the last freeze!!!
Glad you were able to keep them alive 👍😎
How has it held up? How long does the plastic last before you have to replace it? Thanks
4 to 5 years IF you get real GH plastic
If you buy the plastic at Lowes or HD you'll only get ONE year
Here' my link to some good greenhouse plastic
A GOOD plastic on Amazon: amzn.to/2kE5hgW
(this 16'x25' size will do a TWO PANEL GREENHOUSE)
@@BIGALTX thanks
Well
We.built ours in Texas august heat..lol
Tried like check to.get your book.on amazon.but im not.good at the computer stuff ao.we.winged it
Really poorly...i might add
I am planning on building one very soon. I was asked a question by two people and I am unsure how to answer. Hoping you can help. They asked me why I can't use fewer panels and leave a 10-12 gap between each. They said that the greenhouse plastic would fill the gaps and be strong enough....??? What do you say?
Uhhhh... I wouldn't try it
The "gap" might sag and fail in snow or rain
👍✝️🙏❤️
Thanks!!
I tried your links for the PDF and the ebook but they do not work.
Try again... I checked and they worked for me.
