My wife bought an 8 foot by 12 foot greenhouse kit from Harbor Freight,
details at:

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93358

Our neighbor bulldozed a level foundation last weekend and I took off work
today to spend the day getting the frame leveled and secured. This Saturday,
if it doesn't rain, I'll continue the project, adding the base plates and
constructing the walls. With any luck, I'll get the roof on, too.

If anyone out there has had experience with this sort of thing, I'd
appreciate any tips or potential problems in the construction process. I'm
fairly skilled in home repairs and mechanical work, and this job looks like
just bolting together a lot of aluminum rails, then clipping in the window
panes. However, from my experience with similar projects in the past,
there's usually one or two unexpected complications that make the job
difficult, and I'd like to be forewarned.

Thanks,

Here are two links you will find helpful. These people have figured out some
problems you will run into, and how to reinforce the greenhouse and increase
its insulation.

I've saved that too. :-)

I originally bought 4 pop-up greenhouses and the one that got the most
sunlight (mainly all day south sun) has rotted and torn apart. The
others in partial shade are fine...

but I may end up with one of the harbor freight ones someday. g
