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.

We made some RAM pens (sheep) that looked like your pic....we just strapped some tarps over the wire cage...worked slick !

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

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

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.
Just happy to be here.
