    Condensed version of build.
    • Building a Greenhouse ...

    What to Expect on our Channel:
    Tiny Hilltop is the digital life-form of Nate and Evan's journey toward food self-sufficiency. Videos will include organic gardening, greenhouse gardening, and starting an orchard using permaculture concepts when possible. We hope that our videos can bring the peace and tranquility we feel when growing food amongst the trees. We would be honored if you chose to follow along on our journey!
    Tiny Hilltop Background:
    Nate has been dealing with chronic health issues for over a decade. The worst of it starting in 2011, taking me from 200lbs to 150lbs in a few months. He was mostly bedridden, requiring a wheelchair to leave the house for nearly three years. Liver and immune issues caused him to develop a sensitivity to chemicals. That started his journey towards living remotely, designing a non-toxic tiny house, growing his own food, and attempting to be as self sustainable as possible. Starting in 2020, Evan, will be doing most of the heavy lifting but Nate will still be involved with planning and production of videos.

    Thanks everyone for watching! I love how my greenhouse turned out but I made the rookie mistake of using non UV treated PVC. So I made the decision to replace them with metal hoops.
    I speak more about that decision here:

    I start the process of moving on from the PVC in this video:

    And finish my greenhouse in this one:

      Is it resistant to PVC pipes? because sometimes where I see there is enough wind ... and I would not like everything after a gust of wind

    • @TinyHilltop
      @TinyHilltop  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I haven't had any issues with either build from wind. Thanks!

      Tiny Hilltop Rebar pegs to slip the pvc over. Just a suggestion. Then you could skip the carriage bolts. Plus the pvc bends. Just cut to 5 ft lengths t at 5 t at top t at 5 hoop it over connect with 5 ft sections for stability. Skip the 45s. But for going you’re own A+! Nice green house! It’s big!!

    building a greenhouse with leftover materials and no real drawings or design plan = great. Building it with conventional and no-frills tools = better. Building it all in flip-flops = BEST. My kind of DIY project. And it looks great.

    Love it! I am a PVC hoarder and make all kinds of stuff with it. I love that you said that you don't know what you were doing but did it anyway. Fear holds back so much creativity. It turned out amazing!

    This looks fantastic I love how you made it simple and sturdy I never would’ve thought to have the polls upright and cut them all at the same length to create the arch I actually like that it squared off at the top rather than a rounded hoop

    Your greenhouse came out great! I like the fact that you did not even use tools other than the drill. You gave a detailed walk through. Im going to use your design. You make it look very possible to complete. I always over think my plans. But this one is clear and I enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting.

    I love your story, not your illness but your path. I have a similar path but with my daughter. Live and learn. A course I took a number of years ago explained that at one time we had the neighborhood corner store which contained everything we needed to provide for our families. There were approx. 500 food products then we evolved into mega stores with thousands of products but these aren't food, they're chemicals. You are on the right path.

    If you have problems with water holding on the small roof. Think about using making hoops with your pipe. This will insure water run off and give you a little more headroom. Great start though for your first build :)

I also plan to build a platform above it to hold small opening fencing to protect it from hail storms, too. Looking forward to watching your other videos... and hope your new lifestyle in gardening is serving you well with good health.
