Anyone tried making a greenhouse out of PVC pipes?
I actually found some internet sites with PVC greenhouse
projects. It may not be a great greenhouse to start a business with, but it
probably will do for the home gardener who doesn't want to spend too much. I
figured a 10 feet by 8 feet PVC greenhouse could be made for as little as
$100 with some creativity. Any information ideas on this homebrew idea
appreciated.




EMT conduit is a lot more rigid than PVC and costs about the same. I
made a huge greenhouse frame with 1/2" EMT a few years ago, but then
chickened out and didn't cover it because I was afraid it would blow
away in the heavy wind while I wasn't home to chase it. If I had made
it with 3/4" EMT, and/or made it a little smaller I would have finished it.

Best regards,
Bob
