greenhouse plans
Does anyone have some plans for a small greenhouse to build that they
would share? It would be nice to see. |

If you haven't already seen this, I would recommend the Ortho Greenhouse book. There are plans in the book for 4 or 5 different wood-framed greenhouses that don't appear to be too overly difficult to construct, and the book is not that expensive. A greenhouse kit would run you around $1200-1500 for an 9x12, shipping not included. FarmTek lists a Backyard Hobby Greenhouse 9x12 for $1395- this is with twinwall polycarbonate. http://www.FarmTek.com You can also check Charley's Greenhouse and Garden http://www.charleysgreenhouse.com Janco Greenhouses http://www.jancoinc.com Santa Barbara Greenhouses http://www.sbgreenhouse.com Sturdi-Built Greenhouses http://www.sturdi-built.com I would also echo what myrmecodia said, and consider building new versus second-hand. The twinwall from a second-hand greenhouse may be beginning to cloud up, thus decreasing light transmission. Finally, you could check with a horticultural supply house that services garden centers and nurseries in your area. You could put up a quonset-style hoop house quite inexpensively, and cover the house with sheet plastic, which can last anywhere from 1-4 years, depending on the film used. However, if you live in an area with a heavy snowload, I would recommend getting a peaked-roof greenhouse rather than a quonset-style. Ask you local garden center who their supplier is, and start saving up your pennies g. Bill Landers |

Hi, If you're thinking of building one from scratch I know Home Depot sells clear pvc panels that come in 8'x28" and 12'x28". I just built a shade house but I used the pvc for my roof. I live in SW Florida and our Summers can be very rainy (at least one heavy downpour daily) so I need the cover or I spend the summer soaking wet. I hope this helps a bit. If you'd like I can send you a picture. |

If you have never had a greenhouse, you might start with a kit as they
are easy to assemble, and they don't take a contractor. One such kit is available through Cosco internet. There are many others. I have placed my experience on my website if you are interested in reading:http://home.earthlink.net/~profpam/Haven.doc .. . .
