It looks awesome! I bet youre happy! Haha Last yr, we got 10 reclaimed 7ft windows from my husband doing a remodeling job. Now, if I could just get him to stop working so much and build my greenhouse. Lols. 😝
Hello from our farm in New Hampshire. Great job! Loved your design and creative thinking. We used to have more salvage yards here and they always had old windows. We built our farm cottage with a back wall off the kitchen for a 3 or 4 season porch. A multi-purpose, porch, including starting plants. Then the pandemic drove lumber prices up. I am now contemplating building it with framed sliding glass doors with a roof similar to yours. We could easily heat it off our kitchen wood stove and a muffin fan in the doorway or a small wood stove.Thanks for sharing this video. You have encouraged me to get going with our project. ~ Diane
I have a stash of windows in my garage that I find for free on the side of the road. I've been collecting them for a couple of years now. It's nice to see that a variety of different windows can look cohesive if planned ahead.
We just build (well still finishing up) our greenhouse. we made it with old windows and doors (french and sliding). I like yours. I like that you painted everything as you went. We ended up waiting. And if you see any of our videos we are still waiting. And now we've got the clear plastic roof on it. Not sure about how to paint it now.
Excellent job and video! Looks far better than I imagined at the start! Way you laid the windows out as symmetrically as possible REALLY made all the difference after the paint went on! GREAT job guys! Need to do something like this in my garden aswell as a workshop possibly. (Got about 15-20 double glazed windows panes only and two sets of immaculate double glazed patio doors I got for free reclaimed from someone renovating which was a great score!) Look forward to seeing some more DIY and painting videos! 👍 (Just Subscribed) Cheers from London 🏴🇬🇧
No thermostat-controlled fan? I am ADD as the day day day is long, so I just know that if I build one of these I'm going to walk off on a warm day and come back to a bunch of baked-dead plants. I'd love to see a vid about the thermostat-fan thing.
How do you mount that 2 by 4 on either end that defines the peak of the roof? And how do you attach the piece that runs the length of the structure, down the middle, to define the length of the peak of the roof? Asking for a bad, inexperienced carpenter friend...
Always wear a high-quality respirator when using a paint spray gun, regardless of whether you're working outside or inside. Do not inhale the chemical vapors/particulates into your lungs, thereby transferring them to the blood stream and the entire body.
Great video! I'm considering a similar build. A year later, what are some things yall would have done differently, if any? Both in functionality and style?
So far I definitely love it. I have had to replace two windows due to accidental breakage. This was not difficult with thrifted windows. I this spring I would like to add gutters and divert them to the inside. So when it rains the inside will be watered as well. This is still in the planning/brainstorming phase.
Stationary windows 2.5 inch screws threw the frame into the studs. The front and back ones that open are on hinges with hook and eye latches to keep them close.
Looks great! It would possibly have been faster to go ahead and paint without taping and paper. It’s quite fast to use a razor to take paint off windows.
Footer -4 2x10x12 are about $20 each Header-4 & 4 for window base plate 2x4x12 are about $8 each All the studs were repurposed 2x6 from our porch we took apart. $Free The windows came to $200 Door thrifted $35 The roof was most expensive and was about $600. Plus things like screws So total came to $1000 give or take.
Polycarbonate Panels 8mm Woodtite Screws with extra gasket Small h and large H metal conections All of this was purchased at our local nursery supply store not Home Depot/Lowe’s.
It's beautiful! Sourcing Windows did you have a particular size that you were aiming for? Also, were you trying to get even numbers of the sizes you were sourcing?
The front side windows we had a particular size to look for because the front was already built. (Some of the windows were cut down to fit) The other windows I found for good deal and bought enough to have an even number on both sides. At home we laid out the windows and determined the size of greenhouse we could build with what we had.
Very nice! Great video. Thank you. Best of luck!
Great job. Loved your video and the lack of nonsense talking (like other videos have). The greenhouse is beautiful!
Darling - I love watching handy people build things!
Love it! We will need an update video once you’ve got stuff inside!
You made a beautiful greenhouse, thanks for showing us how it’s done!
Really really beautiful
Most beautiful green house I've seen
great video!

It is great to use what you have and give it new life!
Beautiful Greenhouse. Thank you for posting.
Love it❤
your going to need shade cloth of the roof and proper ventilation. I would suggest 2 fans installed from the ceiling venting out. good luck
Great teamwork and recycled things much respect
That is a beautiful green house.
That's the best greenhouse I've seen, what a good job 👍
Such a cool way to build your greenhouse from
That is so nice! Great team work! Love it!
Amazing job!

Amazing job guys. I love it. It’s perfect. I want one just like that one. 👏👏👏👏👏💯
Turned out great! I’m wanting to build one, got some great ideas from you. Thanks!
Go for it! It is a fun an project. That makes you get creative.
Wow it’s really nice!
Scared me though when he went on the roof. The electric line is really close !
The line appears closer then it actually is. Thank you for your concern.
That looks great!
Very nice…well done…

Wonderful.

And if you see any of our videos we are still waiting. And now we've got the clear plastic roof on it. Not sure about how to paint it now.
We didn't caulk much as we went either. We are just now doing all that.
Love it!!! ❤
Excellent job and video!

Excellent! I love it!!
Well done! We have considered the same idea, for a green house. Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Nice build!
Thanks!

so cool!
Estufa linda!
phones have a landscape option so the video fits the screen, just turn it on it's side 👍
Wood that close to the ground. Is it well protected how do you have it not molding ?
The wood is ground contact pressure treated.
Always wear a high-quality respirator when using a paint spray gun, regardless of whether you're working outside or inside. Do not inhale the chemical vapors/particulates into your lungs, thereby transferring them to the blood stream and the entire body.

I this spring I would like to add gutters and divert them to the inside. So when it rains the inside will be watered as well. This is still in the planning/brainstorming phase.
Oh! and I do pull a shade cloth on the roof and have a fan running.
@@BuildGrowCraft Great! Excellent advice!
Brav0 !
I am planning to do something similar. Did you have problems with the wood touching the ground wicking up moisture?
No, we did use pressure treated for bottom footers.
How did you actually hang the windows? How did you nail them together?
Stationary windows 2.5 inch screws threw the frame into the studs. The front and back ones that open are on hinges with hook and eye latches to keep them close.
Where did you buy the corrugated plastic roofing material?
A local garden supply store.
What is the overall size of the greenhouse, if you don’t mind me asking?
10x12
Looks great! It would possibly have been faster to go ahead and paint without taping and paper. It’s quite fast to use a razor to take paint off windows.
Perhaps you are right.
It might be equally time consuming tho.
How much did this end up costing you all supplies included to make?
Footer -4
2x10x12 are about $20 each
Header-4 & 4 for window base plate
2x4x12 are about $8 each
All the studs were repurposed 2x6 from our porch we took apart. $Free
The windows came to $200
Door thrifted $35
The roof was most expensive and was about $600.
Plus things like screws
So total came to $1000 give or take.
Nice
Can you list the roof materials pretty please? Also, husbands are crazy this is why we live longer 😂
Polycarbonate Panels 8mm
Woodtite Screws with extra gasket
Small h and large H metal conections
All of this was purchased at our local nursery supply store not Home Depot/Lowe’s.
Hello! What brand of paint prayer did you use?
Home Depot the outdoor barn/fence they have.
Wao! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Is that a power line resting on the metal roof? 😳
The distance is greater then it appears.
That is beautiful!! I’m worried about your husband not wearing protection for his lungs though!😳
I told him the same!
Usually he does however he opted not to since he was outside.
Omg.... stooooooop.
Could I ask what country you live in? Canada/ Usa? I'm wondering because of our super strong winds in our province here ...
USA-

Should he wear a mask?
Yes! Since he was outside he opted not to.
The time had finally come. The time came. Pick one. The time had finally came is terrible grammar
