  • In this video I show you how I built this green house. You can use this video as a guide on how to build a back yard greenhouse, or a DIY greenhouse. To be completely honest this was my first time building a green house. It was a really fun project and it took four days to complete. The main expense came from the polycarbonate panels which you can save money on by purchasing regular greenhouse wrap but keep in mind that the regular greenhouse wrap is very fragile and easy to tear.
    I started this project by building a foundation with cinder blocks and pressure treated lumber. I could have easily just flattened out the ground it was on and built the structure directly on the ground but I didn't want to do that because doing that would expose the structure to termites, ants and water decay due to rain.
    Once I got the foundation built, I built four walls and a 12 pitch roof. Then proceeded to cut the polycarbonate panels with some snips and attached them with roofing screws.
    This is a very easy way to build a greenhouse.

    Never thought there could be a DIY of greenhouses! I am redesigning my garden and I am also a novice to gardening so I am always open for advises, tips and experiences. My sister has an amazingg garden and I got inspired by her. Her glass greenhouse purchase form Mulberry greenhouses is the cherry on top to that beautiful backyard garden. I am also planning to get one but need to learn a few things first. :)

    I like this - I may make a rectangular version. How did you latch the door? Also, door knob? And ventilation?

    Very nice build. Why didn't you use the wavy white foam that goes on top of the roof under the poly? It guarantees no leaks.

      I ask myself the same thing. I actually had to go back in and do that three months later

    Where do you get those poly panels?
    Been looking for a greenhouse plan to copy and this is as close to what I want to do. I didn’t want to use the cheap looking plastic sheets.

      Yes, you have to keep a heater in there

    By chance do you have a materials list that you used for this project? Want to kind of get an idea of what I need to buy so I don't make several trips to home depot.

    • @vierdoesit
      @vierdoesit  Рік тому +2

      I don't have a material list but I can put one together when I get done with todays project

      I just rounded the plastic corners around the corner, they make special angle corners I just didn't know about them at the time

    I was just wondering why you didn't buy 8 foot lenghts and just make it 8'x8'? Then you wouldn't have to cut the floor

      What?

    • @chuckm.5032

      They are called Concrete blocks now - Cinder is an old term for when they used to use actual "cinder" to make the blocks. @@vierdoesit

    • @EricRedbear
      @EricRedbear 4 місяці тому

      @@vierdoesit I think he just meant that you were using concrete blocks. Cinder block is made of concrete and coal cinders. A concrete block contains stone or sand which makes it heavier. They don't really make cinder blocks anymore.
