What a wonderful project. neatly explained & background music was smoothing. I am looking in to having small greenhouse in my garden here in UK. Looked at many ways of doing rather than buying from THE companies. Looked at with cement blocks and this . I am going with you on this. I am UK For the negative commentators:- If you have nothing constructive to add then say nothing I came to this video to lean and oh boy, I did find yet another way to use Pallets. I am in process of making garden bench, raised bed and preparation table with hand wash basin, a bed and dog bath with pallets. I might post the video but not sure as negative comments will put me off. Thanks again for lovely project....
@@RusticByNature 🍀I think this is an awesome DIY project! Do you have enough reinforcements for heavy snow season?

Those are reusable pallets. Those are new. They are expensive. Pallets painted blue or red like that means they want them back. Without and explanation of some rare circumstance, I suspect theft more than recycling. Might not be the case here ( theft ) but that is hundreds of dollars worth of pallets.
@@ItsNotMeItsYou007 you are correct, but there are a hundred explanations. maybe his father in law owns a shipping company and gave them to him? no reason to suspect theft. i only know what you said is correct because a friend of mine gave me a few of the blue pallets, and he told me the same thing....(he was the rightful owner)
@@izzimichaels2892 Like I said, there may be another explanation but the fact is pallets like that belong to a company that RENTS them out. They are meant to be returned.

@@ItsNotMeItsYou007 makes sense, but my friend explained that he owned them, they are the better pallets etc....never mentioned renting them. but either way thanks for the info!
By level of awesome....you mean they won't allow you to build a big wooden trash pile in your backyard? I can understand that... If i were your neighbors and i saw you doing that crap i'd turn it in on the count of it being an eyesore....
I like the way you braced the pvc up, probably necessary for the snow in winter. Here in the southern gulf coast area, I just used wire and boards to hold my pvc together.
At first I was asking myself why I’m watching this video, but THEN, I realized that your top portion is brilliant and exactly what I need to do to shade my entire house. Seriously, I’ve been wracking my brain and there’s the answer in your video. Thanks so much!
Kudos for designing and building your own! My ex and I argued for years about greenhouses, and after the divorce, I was free to do as I chose. This summer, I hope to build my 7th greenhouse. My first house was 12' x 24', and was built over 2 green hemlock raised beds. I used a jig to bend 3/4" EMT for the bows...still standing after 9 Maine winters.Total cost, including skin was $250. Over time, I figured out ways to all but eliminate wood, and I started using fencing top-rail (and a hoop bender) for the hoops, and line post to set them. The 2 biggest houses were 12' x 60' and the only wood was for the door frames. They were for an ambitious school garden project, and the cost was just under $1.000 each (about half of a kit cost). It's great to see people doing stuff!
good job man, I was going to build one simular to yours and go totally econo, but in the end I went plastic panels all wood framing, and ended up spending around $500.oo payed for with pop and beer can refund ,took one summer for the save up when I was done I was happy I did go this way, for it will be used for many a year, I went with hydroponics on one side and Dutch buckets on the other it already has paid for itself with a little help from me, keep growing and thanks for the video.
Rustic By Nature , that's funny because I still have alot of the materials that I previously bought ie. rolls of poly and pvc and was thinking like you on the more is better so I was going to put up another quicky greenhouse, the little woman wants a whole lot of hanging fuchsia plants and ready set flowering plants and this build will be perfect, have fun ya'll, and keep growing.
Pretty awesome dude!! I was a little worried when I saw the ugly painted pallets but you turned them around and the green house looks beautiful! Very talented! So happy for you. Can’t wait to look at your other videos hoping you show all the progress. God bless!
What a cool greenhouses many years of great growing I pray comes your way. Love your little helpers outfit that first day to cute in her silver and purple.
Then he could be arrested have his greenhouse removed and his whole thing shut down as collecting rainwater (in most of the US) is illegal, even if it's collecting it to use for gardening.
@@draggy76 The usa will never make sence to me. I keep hearing americans call Scandinavia a socialist hellhole with no freedom but... hell we can collect water as we bloody well please atleast.
Love the size bud! Mine is about 7'x10' simular design but mainly used to store garden supplies and get seedlings started and to size before moving to garden boxes. Fantastic job!!
Hi it's so wonderful to revisit and tell you my story Your project was so inspirational that I just collected pallets, double glazed doors from my redevelopment project and now I am going to build green house with it. I am from UK and I need idea how to keep optimum temperature as I am thinking of growing finger limes and warm climate crops / fruits in it all year round. I am looking at the possibility of using solar water heater but already had moans from the companies- it can't be done. I already have solar water panel on my wall giving 24/7 hot water without gas/electricity and i want similar to the green house but for heating. And can't word is not in my vocabulary. you or your subscribers come up with the idea, I would be grateful to hear it. thanks again for inspiration...
Thank you for sharing your story, I love it. Since I live in Alaska I am not going to even try to heat my greenhouse we can get down to -30F/-34C in the winter. Not sure of your Latitude or how long the sun is up but I have seen a solar heater made from soda/pop cans but that will not work at night. There is a rocket mass stove, but you would need to feed the stove wood. Using black poly tube coiled up with compost on top of it, used to heat water for a thermal heat mass. The most costly (money and work) would be an earth battery but a power source is needed to run the fans. Hope some of these ideas give you some ideas. Thanks again for sharing your story.
Very nice. My husband made a round pallet fence to hold our chickens, ducks, and one rabbit. But I think it's gonna be too hot for them. I dare not tell my husband to move it to a shadier location. Instead I'm gonna suggest he turn it into a green house and move our animals to a different, more shady location. Great work !! Thanks for sharing.
That's a very accommodating recommendation. You get to appreciate his hard work and re purpose your pallet fence without tearing it down and rebuilding somewhere else. Kudos to thinking of alternatives.
I put down a cedar door on mine and that helped hold the sides on a bit more. Great way of doing it though. That puppy is huge I wish I had one that big. Nice roof. Great job...
Nice pallet greenhouse! Don't worry about the paint since it will not be touching the plants. Maybe you can stuff straw between the pallet for insulation and cut down any wind drafts. Let us know how this working out for you at your new place. Cheers
I like the idea of using the palettes? I think it would be easy to insulate them before wrapping. What a great idea! And it looks nice too! Thanks for sharing!
I insulated my sheep shed with heavy duty construction bags filled with enough hay to shove the bags in between the slats. It rain proofed the shed be and the hay and straw in the bags had a lot of sheep poop mixed in and the sheep never tried to eat it.. the wind eventually blew the structure down but it was Spring by then.
This build was awesome to watch, thank you for sharing! I just started my own compost bin about a month ago, it's just in a barrel right now but once I move I'd like to build a bin out of pallets. Maybe one day I'll build my own green house, too!
I built a pallet greenhouse too. I also wrapped the bottom in plastic and found it did two things. 1. Stopped most of the airflow into the greenhouse wich is important. 2. The moisture gets trapped in between the plastic on the bottom and pallet wood. Can cause mildew and mold issues. Also you may want to consider adding a exhaust fan blowing out to pull the heat. That thing will get real warm in there
I almost put the pallets on the plastic, I wish I did only because we just moved and I cant move it right now due to it being frozen to the ground. Adding an exhaust fan is a good idea.
Thank you for making this video. I'm looking to start going to a local store which gives out free pallets so I'll definitely start gathering them up to use for this sort of project. The way that you do it makes it look so much easier than if I were to go with my idea of disassembling the pallets, which runs the risk of breaking them. This way, they're functional, and the best part - because I know my roommate won't be on board with this, I can cover up the fact that they are pallets by adding siding to the outside of the walls and then nobody would even know what it's made of but me - and whoever I decide to invite inside. Maybe I'll even make a pallet floor, clean up the inevitable sad bits, and add some insulation and a floor someday and it'll be my tiny house. I'm not sure. It sounds fun. And spending the night out there every so often couldn't hurt. Again, thanks for the video. I can't wait to get started on this future project. Best to all.
Rustic by Nature: I used pallets for my "composting" walls and I found that after a year, they showed good deal of decay and deterioration. Perhaps your greenhouse will hold up better because it will not get rained on. My concern is that your pallets touch the ground and that is where I found the most decay because there was no insulating or protective barrier. After all the work you put into this project how has it held up in the last year? By the way, it looks great. I like the benches raised off the floor.
Sent to my mother, my sister and a few friend's. Thank you for sharing and making this video. I will be building atleast 3 of these. Great video. Great way to recycle and using old materials. Excellent
Hey, looks great! I'd love to know how the green house is holding up, 5 years later. Also, would love to know what you'd do differently if you were to build this again. Slainte and Happy Growing!
Great way to use pallets for a solid base structure . Thinking you could bracket the internal corners if you needed extra support . Well done and a great little presentation 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
I know this might be late, but I also notice that you said you were in Alaska, but give this some thought... Why not insulate the pallets with 2" foam and in the style of a stucco building for warmth and cosmetic looks?
Not too late. 3 weeks ago we moved so we will be taking apart the greenhouse (once it's not frozen to the ground) and then rebuilding it. I will be making some changes. For the cosmetic, we have talked about fake log look. Thanks for watching.
I love this idea! I plan on building a chicken coop this style as well. I will be making videos as I go as well. 😊 Loved the interruption haha made me laugh pretty good. This is such an awesome end result!
Yeah... Alaska is like.... the opposite end of Florida for the US... No one gives a shit about it and kinda just keeps it around for its revenue of landscape. If it weren't for that and it's tactical advantage we wouldn't give two shits about that god forsaken place.
@Time4Truth Obviously not. I agree. It's stunningly beautiful! So it's cold in winter & has a short growing season. It also has great people & maybe the best fishing anywhere - or used to. Sheesh...What a dumb & pointless remark. I'm not a big fan of Florida, but it has it's own kind of beauty & value. Too bad it'll be swallowed up by rising oceans though. That's sure gonna be a disaster once thousands of miles of roads & buildings going up the coasts around the world, end up getting submerged. I feel so bad for sea creatures already, with so much plastic, spilled oil & dumped barrels of toxic chemicals dumped by industries, decades ago, now rusting out. Sorry for the doom & gloom... Lovely greenhouse..
@@joeincogno265 How old are you? I've seen the coastlines changing in my lifetime & now Arctic melt, & loss of snow cover on the Himalayans & other areas has accelerated. All that water has to go somewhere. At the same time available fresh water for humans, livestock & other human activity is diminishing. If we could build more desalination plants around the globe, maybe we could strike a balance. Unfortunately, the process is very costly, & at this point, requires using fossil fuels, & most oceans are polluted with plastics & nuclear plants jlike Fukushima just keep dumping their radioactive nuclear waste in the oceans, & deadly, often radioactive fracking fluids keeps seeping into groundwater, destroying our limited potable water, in order to to try to capture more natural gas. So - we need more people paying attention to how our global resources are being used. Denial, or ignorance is part of the problem. By burning so much fossil fuel, there's more CO2 in our atmosphere. We breathe oxygen & exhale CO2. Left in an airtight room, eventually all the available oxygen would be converted to CO2 - even if there's just one person in the room. It's just a fact. Look at coastline maps. Research parts of the world where people have had to leave their homes & relocate. Look at houses falling into the sea as the coastline has encroached so much in other areas, people dare not stay in their homes during hurricanes. Look at ancient maps & you'll see the way the continents used to look. We live on a volatile planet, & the climates have ever been changing, but now we're able to see how our use of fossil fuels, plus the fact that there are now around 7 Billion people on the planet, & we've been clearing trees so we can build cities & factories & roadways & there are greedy people clearing out the rainforest which we must slow down - to preserve the kind of atmosphere we need, to continue to have rain water in the way we've always had it as long as humans roamed this planet... Human greed will end life on this earth as we know it & our govt & other govts are letting it happen. Maybe the Billionaires don't feel rich enough yet. Then there are those who believe these are "The End Times", so don't care about trying to manage our resources for future generations, since they think that god will be taking them up to heaven & they don't care if the greedy industrialists destroy every single beautiful landscape & every tree & every reservoir of fresh, clean water. It's our complacency which allows them to destroy this planet.
INSTACRUISING I agree people are stupid . I believe the ones that dislike wonderful videos like this , sit on their asses all day and don’t know how to have a good time with themselves and their families . And support their families !!!
Hi,that is a good sized greenhouse,you will have lot's of space for a lot of plants,but I see you had quite a fewer of the blue Chep pallets!they are heavily made palletised, and normally they are returned because of a hefty deposit,
Rustic By Nature OK I was thinking you had taken them without permission,but if you bought them all well and good,hope you get lots of lovely fresh produce from your greenhouse,you can not beat growing your own,no chemicals or nasty pesticides,good luck.
Great idea for a greenhouse. I'm sure you're going to get a tremendous amount of pleasure using it. It looks great and the walmart bags are a great idea. You should add a small fan connected to a thermostat for exhausting the hot air to the outside. Install a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
That looks really good. I am in USDA growing zone 7 and I keep lettuce and spinach going through the winter in my unheated greenhouse. You have electricity in there, right? On coldest days I have to cover them further in the greenhouse.
Thanks for watching. I feel it was decent harvest but could have been a lot better. It took so long to get this built that by the time I had everything in it more than half the summer was gone.
How is this greenhouse holding up?....i see the video was shot in October 2017. And we are now july 2019. Was it difficult to get the snow off the roof? Would you change or modify this model in any way?
The first winter it did great, I would just go out a shake the snow off. The second winter the plastic was doing good until we hit the -20s, the cold and wind tore up the plastic. Last summer I did put vents at both ends because it was getting up to 120 inside. I have plans to upgrade the roof to a more durable material. Thanks for watching
What a wonderful project. neatly explained & background music was smoothing. I am looking in to having small greenhouse in my garden here in UK. Looked at many ways of doing rather than buying from THE companies. Looked at with cement blocks and this . I am going with you on this. I am UK

using what is available and recycling, that is brilliant.
Thanks for watching and an excellent comment.
Those are reusable pallets. Those are new. They are expensive. Pallets painted blue or red like that means they want them back.
Without and explanation of some rare circumstance, I suspect theft more than recycling.
Might not be the case here ( theft ) but that is hundreds of dollars worth of pallets.

Like I said, there may be another explanation but the fact is pallets like that belong to a company that RENTS them out. They are meant to be returned.

I even doubt that your friend had the right to give you pallets.
So a supplier ships out something on those pallets. The pallet disappears and they pay rent on it for a long time.

I enjoyed the video. Great idea for a green house. Nice job. With 4 people yould would be able to finish the green house in 1 day.
Looks GREAT. NICE JOB!
Rustic By Nature this is a great video awesome work...
Thank you.
@@RusticByNature It's a pleasure you Rock
Loved your project, I have a massive garden, I need a green house you have answered my prayers, ( I have lots of pallets) 👍your are a 🌟✅
A the start of the video I thought, oh dear, by the end I thought not bad at all, well done !
You are not the first to say that. Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it.
Very cool. I love the pallet idea.
Thank you.
When I realised what you were going to do I thought oh no! but it turned out awesome.
LOL, Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic 💗
I'm sure you can find awesome woodworking plans on woodprix website
Thanks. I will check them out, Thanks for watching.
@@RusticByNature Awesome Rustic by Nature. I'm going to watch more your videos. I'm glad you like these plans I mentioned
Awesome plans ! Thank you so much Allan !
Wow! Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I got several ideas from you on how to assemble pallets.
TLGardens Thank you, glad you enjoyed our video.
looks great!
Thank you.
Hey, looks great! I'd love to know how the green house is holding up, 5 years later. Also, would love to know what you'd do differently if you were to build this again. Slainte and Happy Growing!
This is a great idea and thanks for sharing!
Great idea for making a greenhouse
Looking good. Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
That was a great idea, looks good
Great idea, however if you set it directly on the ground, you're inviting rot and termites.
Well done. love it.
Thank you
Great video, thank you for taking the time to build and the one to teach.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great way to use pallets for a solid base structure . Thinking you could bracket the internal corners if you needed extra support . Well done and a great little presentation 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
Thank you.
I know this might be late, but I also notice that you said you were in Alaska, but give this some thought... Why not insulate the pallets with 2" foam and in the style of a stucco building for warmth and cosmetic looks?
Not too late. 3 weeks ago we moved so we will be taking apart the greenhouse (once it's not frozen to the ground) and then rebuilding it. I will be making some changes. For the cosmetic, we have talked about fake log look. Thanks for watching.
I saw a peek of the mountains in the background. I would love to live near a view like this. I'm from south Texas! Its flat down here.
We moved from Kansas, so we are no stranger to flat land. 😊 Thanks watching.
What a cool idea! I like it.
Just discovered this video, some great thoughts I am looking to do something without spending a ton of money and this is a really great idea.
I love this idea! I plan on building a chicken coop this style as well. I will be making videos as I go as well. 😊
Loved the interruption haha made me laugh pretty good.
This is such an awesome end result!
Thank you. Look forward to your build.
Really envious of your greenhouse project mate - in my neck of the woods whiteants would take it out in a few months.
"huh. A pallet greenhouse in a little suburban neighborhood? How'd he get permission for that?"
"Ohhhh, he lives in Alaska."
LOL Thanks
Yeah... Alaska is like.... the opposite end of Florida for the US... No one gives a shit about it and kinda just keeps it around for its revenue of landscape. If it weren't for that and it's tactical advantage we wouldn't give two shits about that god forsaken place.
@Time4Truth Obviously not. I agree. It's stunningly beautiful!
So it's cold in winter & has a short growing season. It also has great people & maybe the best fishing anywhere - or used to.
Sheesh...What a dumb & pointless remark.
I'm not a big fan of Florida, but it has it's own kind of beauty & value.
Too bad it'll be swallowed up by rising oceans though. That's sure gonna be a disaster once thousands of miles of roads & buildings going up the coasts around the world, end up getting submerged.
I feel so bad for sea creatures already, with so much plastic, spilled oil & dumped barrels of toxic chemicals dumped by industries, decades ago, now rusting out.
Sorry for the doom & gloom...
Lovely greenhouse..
@@cherylanderson3340 roads and buildings getting submerged. LMAO!
@@joeincogno265 How old are you? I've seen the coastlines changing in my lifetime & now Arctic melt, & loss of snow cover on the Himalayans & other areas has accelerated. All that water has to go somewhere.
At the same time available fresh water for humans, livestock & other human activity is diminishing. If we could build more desalination plants around the globe, maybe we could strike a balance. Unfortunately, the process is very costly, & at this point, requires using fossil fuels, & most oceans are polluted with plastics & nuclear plants jlike Fukushima just keep dumping their radioactive nuclear waste in the oceans, & deadly, often radioactive fracking fluids keeps seeping into groundwater, destroying our limited potable water, in order to to try to capture more natural gas.
So - we need more people paying attention to how our global resources are being used. Denial, or ignorance is part of the problem. By burning so much fossil fuel, there's more CO2 in our atmosphere. We breathe oxygen & exhale CO2. Left in an airtight room, eventually all the available oxygen would be converted to CO2 - even if there's just one person in the room. It's just a fact.
Look at coastline maps. Research parts of the world where people have had to leave their homes & relocate. Look at houses falling into the sea as the coastline has encroached so much in other areas, people dare not stay in their homes during hurricanes.
Look at ancient maps & you'll see the way the continents used to look. We live on a volatile planet, & the climates have ever been changing, but now we're able to see how our use of fossil fuels, plus the fact that there are now around 7 Billion people on the planet, & we've been clearing trees so we can build cities & factories & roadways & there are greedy people clearing out the rainforest which we must slow down - to preserve the kind of atmosphere we need, to continue to have rain water in the way we've always had it as long as humans roamed this planet...
Human greed will end life on this earth as we know it & our govt & other govts are letting it happen. Maybe the Billionaires don't feel rich enough yet. Then there are those who believe these are "The End Times", so don't care about trying to manage our resources for future generations, since they think that god will be taking them up to heaven & they don't care if the greedy industrialists destroy every single beautiful landscape & every tree & every reservoir of fresh, clean water.
It's our complacency which allows them to destroy this planet.
Nice use of reclaimed materials, might treat the pallets with linseed oil or another natural varnish when it's dry, I like the mandolin music rock on.
Great idea!
Thank you
WOW l dont live with snow so l didnt think you could have a greenhouse in that sort of weather. what a great idea. very clever TFS
Just found your channel this is a cool build
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome! Even material list! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching.
Oh dear, That is a hell of a fire risk so close to the house plus pallet wood will rot very quickly. Hope all goes well!
We have since moved and moved the greenhouse to our new place and I do plan to put gravel under it, Thanks for watching.
My HOA would already cite me for having pallets. Nice Green House. Wish I could build it.
For future information, its called a "top plate". 😁😁😁😁 Great idea using ratchet straps.
LOL Thank you.
Nice Work, Came out Really Nice...
Awesome work!! I don’t get those 176 dislikes. People are so weird sometimes.
Yes, a lot of weird people in the world. Thanks for watching.
INSTACRUISING I agree people are stupid . I believe the ones that dislike wonderful videos like this , sit on their asses all day and don’t know how to have a good time with themselves and their families . And support their families !!!
Love it , your greenhouse turned out great , I’ll be doing it this way for my extension on my own greenhouse 👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cool. Thanks for watching.
Hi,that is a good sized greenhouse,you will have lot's of space for a lot of plants,but I see you had quite a fewer of the blue Chep pallets!they are heavily made palletised, and normally they are returned because of a hefty deposit,
Thank for watching. The place I bought them from has towers of them.
Rustic By Nature OK I was thinking you had taken them without permission,but if you bought them all well and good,hope you get lots of lovely fresh produce from your greenhouse,you can not beat growing your own,no chemicals or nasty pesticides,good luck.
Colin Askey nothing more enlightening than to be politely called a Thief?
Great idea for a greenhouse. I'm sure you're going to get a tremendous amount of pleasure using it. It looks great and the walmart bags are a great idea. You should add a small fan connected to a thermostat for exhausting the hot air to the outside. Install a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
That looks really good. I am in USDA growing zone 7 and I keep lettuce and spinach going through the winter in my unheated greenhouse. You have electricity in there, right? On coldest days I have to cover them further in the greenhouse.
Thank you, I'm in zone 4. I do have electricity in there but I don't heat it. Thanks for watching.
Carlota Chmielewski that is really awesome you can grow those in winter,i really need a greenhouse!
Very Good. VERY NICE. I'm going to build one. You're a Genius Man. All the best from the UK
Thank you glad you enjoyed it. Enjoy your build. Thanks for watching.
This is a an awesome build! Thank you for sharing! How did it do for you grow wise the first season? Did you get a decent harvest?
Thanks for watching. I feel it was decent harvest but could have been a lot better. It took so long to get this built that by the time I had everything in it more than half the summer was gone.
Awesome build.
Thanks
How is this greenhouse holding up?....i see the video was shot in October 2017. And we are now july 2019.
Was it difficult to get the snow off the roof? Would you change or modify this model in any way?
The first winter it did great, I would just go out a shake the snow off. The second winter the plastic was doing good until we hit the -20s, the cold and wind tore up the plastic. Last summer I did put vents at both ends because it was getting up to 120 inside. I have plans to upgrade the roof to a more durable material. Thanks for watching
@@RusticByNature What did change the material to after?
Brilliant idea.High five✋
