Where to get the plans?

Where can one get this booklet??

Does anyone know - What kind of math app is needed to calculate gothic arches like these? I have not found 1 app that does gothic arches.

Thanks 👍

What kind of wood did u use for the sturture

Was there any indication of the use of an adhesive in the construction of the arches. Is this the set of plans from Virginia University?

Why do you recommend against treated 4x4 posts for foundation?

I would just like more height, otherwise great dimensions. Height may be better with snow too, more pitch.

Did You make it with woodprix?

I am pretty sure you can still buy e-book with all details you need on woodprix.

If you want to make it yourself just look for woodprix. There is all you need to make it :)

Наконец-то нашёл ролик с чертежом! А многие показывают рейки, а потом раз и готовую теплицу. ))

Should you use pressure treated lumber ? If so why or why not ?

Mumble mumble .. mumble mumble mumble ....mumble .... more mumble ..... sigh 8 l

It really shows that you did not build this greenhouse, " I dont know what 1/2 x 2 spacer means" it's not a spacer its support strips to make the structure ridged. You really are taking credit for someone else building the greenhouse in your prior video.

Beautiful construction.

5:51 i know this years late but wat they mean by 1/2 inch x 2inch on each side of spacer blocks is the construction of the ribs if u look at the other side of the diagram it tells u about the spacer blocks being 2 x 4 x6 1 strip on each side creating the rib or truss

Loudly and clearly please.

Not a gothic arch but okay :)

keep us updated, please new videos,

Can you advise about the best wood to use, treated or untreated?

Here is a simpler method. Think of a Gothic Arch as an A Frame building with curved rafters. Draw a line the length of the rafter on a floor or big enough work table and mark the center. Drive a nail at each end of the line. Place a batten against the nails and from the center push out the batten until you reach the desired curve. draw the curve on the inside of the batten and you have the inside of the arch. It is so simple any one can do it. Securely fasten blocks about two feet apart along the line and you have a building jig. The block spacing varies with the size of the arch. This method works for any arch from windows, doors to buildings. I have even used it to build boats. If you want a different curve, push the batten out at different points. It is fun to see how many shapes you can make.

nice but that looks like it will accommodate an incredible snow load which cant be so important considering the poly cover will be several times the weaker link?

Not criticizing, but there is an easier way to layout big curved shapes. It's called "lofting" as in boat building. For a roof, just use a long flexible "batten" like 1/4 x 1 inch wood. Bend it to the desired curve and hold it "edge on" to the floor with a few nails. Some nails on one side, some on the other. Draw a line on the floor and build a jig from there.

I love this greenhouse. I saw this video years ago, then last couple years tried to find it, but in vain and today, there it was on my main page. So happy to find it again. Your wife is very lucky.

It is important to note that these plans were drawn when lumber was designated by actual dimensions 2x4s were 2 inches by 4 inches. Today lumber is designated by nominal dimensions, therefore the 2x4x6 blocks have to be made from larger lumber.

Very nice. Is the floor concrete?

loveiswithus, here is a link to a smaller greenhouse that is similar. I saw someone had asked you for smaller plans. www.lsuagcenter.com/NR/rdonlyres/3249C2FC-6AD8-404B-91B8-A73666506A96/14591/5946PortablePlasticGreenhouse.pdf

loveiswithus, I found this link to a pdf file of this greenhouse. It is a single sheet drawing with what was on your first page of your video I viewed. This link didn't show the directions that you posted though. I hope this will help you and your friends. PS Great greenhouse and I know you're proud of such a terrific greenhouse. www.lsuagcenter.com/NR/rdonlyres/5B7AFAF1-C045-4376-9261-4627AD3CF03D/14655/6298GothicRafterGreenhouse.pdf

Featuring this Gothic Arch Wooden Greenhouse are really worth inspiring. You've got a very nice selection of flowers and the structural designs are very well constructed and the plants are merely organized. It's really nice to know some important information about this beneficial outdoor structure. Thank you!

When did you build your Gothic Arch wood greenhouse?Isn't it expensive? I am so impressed with your greenhouse. I suggest that it is good to be as an alternative work place. Very comfortable as well.

The end pieces are separate panels. publication is no 461 reprinted 1980 PLASTIC GREENHOUSES You can ask boat builders about other suitable wood I think the panels are 18 6" A user writes>>My local Extension office had a copy of publication 487, a smaller version of the gothic greenhouse, and then upon further inspection, she found 461.

Hi if you´re still there?? Just one question.... the ends look really nice and thight compared to a lot of domed green houses I´ve seen. Are the ends seperate to the sides, as in are they made from seperate pieces of plastic sheeting. Thanks in advance.

Ugh. I'm so jealous of this woman. :)..

Where did you get the plans to build this fabulous structure?

nice job

Beautiful and inspirational.

I have the plans in the mail right now, from the boat builder. Thank you. I was trying to decipher these plans I found on the net. This makes it much eaiser!

sweet build she is a lucky woman nice green house...

I'm sure this one could take that velocity of wind, and they said the structures have withstood 70mph. However in the original design, forces on the end walls would tend to make the ribs lie down. This one is greatly strengthened by the office building and struts on the end wall to the ridge. If the door was to open in a storm, then the panels might be forced free from pressure pushing from the inside out.

Do you know how well the structure tolerates wind loads of about 60-70 MPH?

@darthom She still tells me thank you and how much she loves it, all the time. It really amazes me what it has meant to her. I think the dimensions are 22x44 feet. The arches are 4ft on center and the office is 10x12 GL

@sboutt yes, each side of the arch is made of four long pieces and the blocks. The long pieces are about 18 feet 6 inches.

Yup...now I need one of these

You must have a lot of repotting to do for all those plants!

@loveiswithus try heating with compost, just make some large compost boxes and fill them before winter so they get started, the temp inside a compost pile can reach very high temperatures that can provide just enough to keep your tropical plants safe. I am looking threw the post trying to find if you said where one gets plans for this green house but if you mention it here again that would be cool. thanks

@loveiswithus We put a lot of water into the greenhouse, even to mist for summer cooling. But mostly the structure remains dry. We try to keep things dried out in winter, and almost always run fans to fight molds. We run a heater in winter periodically to keep things as dry as possible. I don't think this house will rot from the inside as many people suppose it might.
