I cannot believe I didn't find these videos when building mine. What a resource. Hats off to you for putting these videos out there!
Thank you so much. Atlas really needed to do something nice for me. Their building instructions were terrible so that series of videos has helped a bunch of their customers
@@FensterfarmGreenhouseoh man I agree. They are the worst! I talked with their CEO about it and he argued that they used to be more descriptive but contractors didn't like it so they edited them. Not even sure what he meant by that but it is what it is. That being said, I do love the greenhouse!
@@restoringedennursery3551 That sounds just like Mark. He’s the master of excuses! Lol
@@FensterfarmGreenhouse ouch! Curious would you buy from them again? If not who is your new supplier for greenhouses?
@@restoringedennursery3551
I love their houses but they are way overpriced.
I get everything from a company called Scenic Acres out of Elkton Ky now. Same quality with 20% better pricing across the board.
Tell Arron Chuck from Fenster Farm sent you.
You might be interested is Deerfield Supplies for everything else farm/ homestead related as well. They are right down the road from them.

It's all coming together Chuck, you're going to be able to grow some great plants in there. Good to see the fans and louvres all doing their thing. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou for sharing Chuck.
😆 Happy growing
Terry
Very impressive ventilation system. Plants are looking very healthy.
Great job there, the fans are awesome, the whole greenhouse is a far cry from the sad sight when the previous one collapsed. Keep up the great videos
+Michael Collinson Thanks Michael. It has been an interesting experience for sure.
Chuck
WOW!!! Every time I come into your greenhouse, I have a huge smile on my face! It's just so outstanding, I can't believe it. Your new fans are beyond belief, and a lot of physical relief too I bet. They worked so fast! What a pick me up to watch. I'm always so encouraged when I see you, and your greenhouse, coming together so well. Thank you for another great walk with you, through your new greenhouse journey. Bless, Sheila
+Sheila6325 Love to make you smile Sheila. This experience has been both fun and painful. I will be doing a review of the company and the product soon and you will understand the pain part!
God Bless Sister
Chuck
Fensterfarm Greenhouse Blessings back at you, Sheila
Thanks for documenting this!
Sir watching your journey through out this build has been a pleasure.
thank you so much my friend
That is awesome! Those things must move a ton of air. Full fledged greenhouse now!
+FesterWerks They really do. I can get more done in there now! That heat would run me out of there before I got these up and running!
Chuck
That is a first class motor. Your making a good greenhouse. The tomatoes are nice big plants.
+shartne The motors are so quiet. I just noticed that there are flowers on the tomato plants this morning!
Chuck
Super helpful - thank you for making these videos!
Thomas Mui So glad it’s helping. Those instructions that they send you sucks
Thomas Mui call Atlas and tell Jennifer that you used my videos to build your house.
Chuck
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Thumbs up 👍🏼
+Shiny Knife Thanks so very much my friend
Chuck

Just finished watching your greenhouse build series ... very well done sir.
A ton of work, but the end result was sure worth the effort. :)
Thank you Barry. I was thinking at several points in time that I was never going to be able to get it done! It was definitely worth it all though!
Take care my friend!
Chuck
Super nice fans and vent setup! I noticed you wearing shorts. It does get hot in a greenhouse! Spring is almost here. I need to transplant my tomatoes tomorrow. Cleaned up the greenhouse today to make room. Glad you had help putting the fan in the opening, but I think it would have been interesting to see you try and do it by yourself. If the GH had wheels and both fans were on you could probably move it around your place. As you can tell catching up on watching videos. Bernard
Daniel is a great help around here. The problem is that I rarely wait for him to get home before I do things on my own.
Chuck
Wow, now that's a greenhouse!
+FreidasGarden Thanks Freida
Chuck
Awesome job Chuck! I can't imagine your being able to fill the place up... You'll need to drop a new well to supply your water needs:))
+David Dube (Oregon Homesteader) the good thing about this system is that it requires much less water than soil growing. There is no runoff only evaporation.
Chuck
Chuck, exactly what I was thinking with the added heat and massive airflow, your constantly exchanging drier air for humid air.
Looking good, Chuck! I'm gonna be wishing I had a couple of those in our hoop house later this summer! Even with the side curtains and end curtains rolled up, our hoop house was routinely over 100° during the hottest part of most summer days last year.
+ItsyFarm They told me that the fans would be better than the curtains at keeping the temps down. I will be doing a product review and a company review pretty soon Karl. The product review will be positive but the company review won't be!
Chuck
+Fensterfarm Greenhouse OK...looking forward to your experiences. Maybe we can compare notes.
Maybe we can do one together or at the same time and link them together somehow. My review of the company and its management is not good. I had so many problems with getting my order shipped, (missing and lost items), getting response from them (nobody available on the weekends when most of the free world have the time to build one of these), incorrect parts shipped and more..... I just took down the word Atlas in every one of my videos. That should give you an idea of where I am with the company. The greenhouse itself is top notch, the company that sells it .... not so much!
Chuck
Nice job
+bevyh1 Thanks so much
Chuck
It looks like you are almost finished with everything now Chuck. It has been a long haul. Best wishes Bob.
+Bob Lt (BobMel's Gardening) The physical build is complete with the exception of hanging the heater, Thanks Bob!
Chuck
A man used to make a comment about my cabin that applies to your greenhouse Chuck, "The only thing wrong with that greenhouse is it isn't on my property."
+Dale Calder My wife loved that comment Dale. Especially when I told her where you lived!
Chuck
+Dale Calder I second that! Hard not be jealous of your beautiful greenhouse! Thank you for sharing it with us. Blessings!
Thank you so much. I love the greenhouse but if I had to do it all over again I would probably go with a different manufacturer. The manufacturer is hard to deal with!
Chuck
Nice to know. Thanks!
Tina
That is amazing the framing can hold the weight and vibration of a fan that size. And had no clue you had to assemble the fan to the motor. Thanks. I am learning allot. My daughter brought me some blue plastic bags that work perfect to cover the boxes I built. I have seen green clear and white plastic. Do you have any knowledge on colors. This is blues. And not sure how it my affect plants. But I know as far as lights indoors blues is a good color. for leaf and stem. Thanks for sharing all you do. E
I am not familiar with how blue will effect the plants. I have both white and black mesh shade cloth and the plants don't seem to have a problem with either of them.
Sorry, I wish I knew more.
Chuck
Thank you
the wind doesn't blow in on the shutters with the fans? I just set up a greenhouse and i have it set up with an exhaust fan blowing hot air out and a intake fan blowing cool air in.
No. It takes a great deal of force to open the shutters. The fan is strong enough to pull them open wind from the opposite direction would only push it closed tighter.
Chuck
These fans pull out a lot of heat?
How loud are all them big fans on? Would it be ok to put 5 feet from my neighbors back yard?
Happy 2017 - Thanks for the great videos - they are super helpful! I'm putting up a 48' Atlas and have similar hardware. Question: The HAF fans - are they supposed to be setup in opposite directions? Do they come on via thermostat or do you manually turn them on? Thanks!!!
The HAF fans are supposed to be one direction on one side of the greenhouse and in the opposite direction on the other side. That is mainly for circulating the heated air during the winter. I found that facing them all towards the exhaust fans during the summer with the evaporative cooling wall running works better. I turn them in the winter when I turn on the heater. I have mine on a wall switch. Everything else is on thermostats though!
I hope that helps?
Chuck
That's helpful - thanks! How'd your final wiring go with your fans? Did you run BX to the motor than come through the bottom 'kick panel' under the louvers? Trying to figure out the transition from EMT - thru the housing - to the motor.
I did not use EMT from the motor. I ran 12/2 romex to EMT outside the fan on the wall.. I may have to fix that later though!

so what do think about the motors that drive those big fans , like /dislike /how good is the quality of the motors you are using on those beasts?
They are really nice MD. Quiet and powerful.
Chuck
I would be gotten a cw one because the ccw ones seem to bother me at time or so/something like that
Great video, on your squirrel cage do you intake air from inside the greenhouse or outside?
The slant fans draw from the inside and the shutters on the opposite side open to allow fresh air in. I actually have a water wall on that side now so the air comes in through it instead of the shutters.
Chuck
@@FensterfarmGreenhouse hey thanks for the info, what about the little blower that inflates the two layers of plastic? My little blower had a hell of time keeping the two layers of plastic inflated.
Johnny LaMuelo it’s a 60f/s blower. It did ok but I ended up installing an additional one on the other side to help out.
Chuck
@@FensterfarmGreenhouse Chuck thanks for the info, keep up the great videos
Can you clarify...? Does the thermostat operate a relay that allows power to the shutter motor? I have a shutter motor but as long as power is applied it just keeps going clockwise. I guess when power is off then spring pulls shutter closed, but is power constantly applied to keep it open?
That is correct. The power stays on to hold it open. The power shuts off the spring pulls it closed.
Chuck
+Fensterfarm Greenhouse Thanks so much, I was really confused. Your greenhouse is awesome!
cool!
+Rev John O'Toole Thanks John
Chuck
How many horsepower are each big one?
How long did it take you to complete the greenhouse?
About 2 months of weekends and evenings. I still have to hang and install the gas heater and I am currently running power out there and taking it off of my home power service.
Chuck
why is the slant fan? What is the advantage of the slant fan in this circutances?
It’s an exhaust high CFM fan to remove heat from the greenhouse. It’s slanted to shed water outside so it keeps the inside of the fan dry in rainy conditions. Hope that helps?
Chuck
WHAT DID YOU USE FOR THE GREENHOUSE FLOOR? WHAT KIND OF MATERIAL
It’s a woven greenhouse flooring fabric. 3ml
I believe.
So all vents and fans mount from the inside?
Not sure if all do but all five of my greenhouses have different models of fans and they all mounted on the inside.
Hope that helps?
Chuck
@@FensterfarmGreenhouse yes thank you
congradulation😉 howmuch cost u?
+حسن علاوي the 2 fans were 1 ,750.00.
Chuck
And why the plastic wheel??? Who don’t they do metal or so/something like that
Did I say it was plastic? Not sure if it’s really plastic but it could be. It’s been a long time since I put it together. My son in that video lives in Japan now but I asked him if he remembers if the wheel was plastic and he’s not sure either. We haven’t had to touch those fans on the inside since I put them together.
Thanks for following along!
Chuck
@@FensterfarmGreenhouse ah i see and your welcome. i think or so that i saw some of those replacement wheels on amazon or so and they either looked plastic to me or it said that they were plastic. not reakky sure, but i think it said that they were plastic or so/something like that
Apakah udara akan keluar dari greenhouse?
Yes. It draw air out with the fans and fresh air comes in from the other end of the greenhouse through the Shutters. Thanks for watching!Chuck
But nice bearings
Saya bisa menemukan alat ini dimana? "Website name? Or name tool
I got them from Atlas Greenhouse Manufacturing in Atlanta GA. Tell Stephany that I sent you.Hope that helps.Chuck
