Finally got started on my little greenhouse project. 12' x 6' x 7'h.
Less than $150 in it so far. Hoping to rustle up some free lumber from work and possibly some wire lock extrusion
from the 2nd job. Can't wait to load it up with seedling trays.


Just happy to be here.

I made a grape arbor, that looks similar to your greenhouse, by bending 4 cattle panels like that and anchoring then to the ground with t-bar fence posts.

No heater in the works. I am hoping that it improves my success rates with hardening off tomato seedlings. Also, using it to generate extra heat units for peppers (potted) to improve yields. May also try a melon plant in there if there is room


Just happy to be here.

Any update photos on the project? I’m interested in seeing how it looks when completed.

You should check with your local NRCS office, part of USDA, they have cost share on buying high tunnels. A high tunnel is a greenhouse where you plant in the ground instead of pots on shelves. Cost share is approx. 75%.

That is how made our chicken coup. Covered with chicken wire on the open section and tin for shade and to shed water on the other. Pretty well critter proof other then snakes.

They are 16' x 4'. You need to watch the TSC flyer for the sales or they cost too much.

Farmhunt...no USDA here unfortunately. We use high tunnels at my other job and they are great. Wish I could get one but don't really have room here.

I won't build a green house but other structures yes. Pictures are worth a thousand words many times.
