My high tunnels (2) are 60 x 25 ft cost about 3500 eur/usd a piece. I bent the rostfree pipes and built the roof structure myself.. saves alot but takes time. Snow load is heavy and you need good structure for that. Otherwise you need to clean the snow from the roof because it does not always slide down by itself.
I've always liked the look of used concrete form boards. It's sort of a random gray finish and you get some nice wood shinning through here and there and it gives it that rustic non-pattern look but still turns out to be almost symmetrical in a way, in the multi-color distribution. I tend to like it better; it gives your raw projects character.
I’ve been following you for many years. Love all your content. Wow. Your life has been an amazing adventure. I would love to pick your brain on so many things. 😂 thanks for all you do for us out here in the meta. Great information .
My dream to have a greenhouse like this! I also live in a very snowy area with short growing season, which is such a game changer for all things gardening. I wish I had the skills to build. Good job, Curtis.
I like the idea of this type of greenhouse because it's a direct conversion of the sun's energy without as much energy losses. It's pure and simple and passive.
Thank you for the informative video. The end wall vents are similar to mine here in Western Washington. I placed a cheap 20 inch box fan in one end opposite from the prevailing wind and utilized a roof vent thermostat. It is set to come on automatically at 85 degrees and works great for venting when a quick heat phase comes up and I am not available to open other areas for venting. It also shuts down automatically as the sun goes down to retain heat over night. Thank you and I look forward to all of your content.
The foundation is to me what makes it for me! But untill i get a place to put it, gotta wait..Thanks for showing this glad i happen to catch ya today..😁🥰
This video has empowered me with the knowledge of how to erect a similar high tunnel on rocky sloped land. I previously dismissed the idea not knowing how to go about it. Thank you so much for showing and explaining how you dealt with both these issues.
My grow zone is 8B I wonder if I would still be a 3 season with this green house? We don't typically get more than a couple inches of snow that usually melts off in less than 2 weeks.

Yup. Cement stained lumber works just fine.

It looks great Curtis. I like the functionality of the whole entrance. Why struggle with a huge door every day, less is more in that design. Love it.

I was leaning towards a Chinese greenhouse for this year’s project, however this is a great, cheaper and faster option.
Hello from Georgia. Found you through Doug and Stacy.
Good video, thanks! Could you provide a link or the name of the company that sells the greenhouse here? Thanks!

Thanks again Curtis 😂
3 season is good!
Do a monthly live
Good video! Well explained! How many years will the poly last? And can tears/rips in that poly be repaired easily?
GH poly typically lasts at least 6 yrs. Best repair tape is Gorilla clear UV protected.
@@garthwunsch Awesome, thanks for the answer!
I got a roll of repair tape from Growers Solutions. Repaired the bullet hole from New years. Gotta love my Texas.
I met a Lady who dried Apple chips and made Fruit jerky in her greenhouse. she said it heated her greenhouse
Love it....going to do it. Question....what is the lifespan of the poly based on thickness. Thx. 👍

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is an amazing video.
The drip edge over the rigid insulation is a great idea. I have been wondering how I might improve that portion. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Curtis- Blessings
Hi Curtis. Do you have the link for your friend in Alberta that sells them?
I said growhoops.ca
I love your greenhouse. Thank you for sharing.

4 season for sure if u put row cover over the crops. You still need light to grow in winter tho depending on how south you are.
very nice
I love your breakdown of details-comprehensive, but easy to follow. I'm wondering what grow zone you're in.
Zone 5
I really love it! ❤️
This is a big step up to the novice cheap one. Lol to me anyway as a beginner. This one makes sense for me.
This tunnel makes sense for most people.
What is the temperature range? 🌡 you seem warm in there.
