With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
That vent setup with the temp controlled struts is VERY clever. As a matter of fact, that whole greenhouse is about 3 steps ahead of anything I could build. Well done !!!
My favorite FREE closed cell insulation comes from the back of Hot Tub stores. When they replace hot tubs they frequently bring the old one - including the cover - and toss them for disposal. I remove the cover and have 2" thick, free insulation panels. :-) Craig's list is also a good place for free hot tub covers. That mustache is going to fuel My "dreams" for a month ! ! Thanks Joe ! ! ! - KJ
KaleidoscopeJunkie now that’s a great idea! Didn’t even think of that but it would probably be really good insulation for sure!! As for the moustache...haha....it will only be making short comebacks ever so often as my wife really doesn’t like it😂
Asthetically, I love it. I like how the different roofing materials look, and hope they will meet your needs. The auto opening vents are super cool. Glad you could straighten and be happier with the peak of the roof. Two thumbs up!
MidlifePrices me too! One of my favorite characters of all time! Actually the show is one of my favorites.....love how he and Leslie knope...even though polar opposites were good friends😀
homesteadonomics I love that show! Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt. Pretty much all the characters. I love the song “I Fell in the Pit”. 😂 I fell on the mountain one day and was singing that song all day. 😆
Joseph Durkin than you Joseph, Unfortunately the wife really did not like it though...haha....so it’ll have to make short comebacks ever so often....but probably nothing long term
I loved this sunken greenhouse the first time I watched you build it, BUt now it's even more resistant now. Wish we could sink one here, but I will have to stick to my 34 ft polytunnels. But I can grow anything in them just no geo warming. Loved this video BTW. You really did a great job on it again. Tony
This is the best greenhouse I’ve ever seen! So practical! I could use it as a root cellar in the winter. Wonder if I can add it on to my honey-do list! 😊
the pole in the midle if you ad a tiny raised bed to it half a foot to a foot all around and put some mesh for vine, tomato etc to grow upward could be a nice addition to your cool green house.
Hey great vid again...just a thing on the solid roof is the only thing to consider when planning your plantings, is lower light quality for growing on North side during low seasons plants will tend to lean to the light and slower growth possibly. Plus one thing we did on nursery greenhouses to combat hail is chicken wire framed about two inches above roof. Smaller hole chicken wire...doesn’t compromise light much and can be used as cold cover support for winter time ...frame made from welded reo-bar. The idea is the hail is broken on impact and takes the main force. Plus holds the weight while it melts. Greenhouse looking good look forward to seeing the produce😊👍
stephane van der lee thank you! That’s kind of what I was thinking....planning a sliding panel structure and then mounting the chicken wire under neath the ‘rails’ or track of the sliding panels. But it’s still in debate in my head....haha....until I start putting something together. So with that said it would also change greatly between now and then 😉🤔
Hi Joe. To protect your polycarbonate from large hail, you can put 1x1 metal hardware cloth above it, stood off by an inch or so. We did this on all our skylights 20 years ago after a big hail storm took them all out. We've suffered huge storms since then, but no broken skylights. It's not super pretty, but it works really well, and allows sunlight in.
Mark Warner that’s kinda what I’m thinking about Mark. When I get my shade structure up I’m thinking about mounting hardware cloth or chicken wire just underneath that structure which will be about foot over the south slope of the greenhouse. And it’s good to know you had success as well😀👍 Btw....I spoke to my in laws about your family cabin. My father in law remembers when they were working on that one😉
It's a shame you had to mess with this Joe, but I guess it's a great opportunity to rework some things. Thanks for the video Sir! This was much needed today.🙏
That's a very nice greenhouse. Mine is just three cattle panels in a framework with shade cloth for the summer and white garden plastic for the winter.
@@homesteadonomics certainly. I do have one question though: what is the status of the cooling tube that you've run underground out into the adjacent land?
Maria Jamison thank you Maria! Sooooorry about the slow response.... life has been crazy lately at work and I’m smoked when I get home. Been loving your IG stories the past couple weeks😀👍
Those automatic vent openers are awesome. I love mechanical things like that don't need an external power source. Also that moustache was cool. Let it grow lol
Nice very nice. Love the idea of the self controlled vents. Read some of the other comments and like some of the added suggestions. Thanks for sharing.
Joe thanks for explaining your process and for always being so honest;-) personally shes better than the first and one can tell this version is a step up in many ways. I also love the repurposing of materials and using whats on hand. One could spend alot of funds on these types of projects and having a family means making use in the best ways possible. Much respect and love to all of your clan and as usual be exceptionally blessed ! Brother Brian
Nice job Joe. Looks all good. My chicken house has that same medal roof except white. In winter the snow falls off & the chickens are fine. Have a great week, Chris from Missouri
A lot of greenhouses have a reflective material on the inside of the north wall because it helps bounce the sunlight coming from the south around. So it might work perfectly!
Megan Elise it I go thr insulation route that is very likely what I will do. I used aluminum coated foam insulation on my recent travel trailer build and that is what I used. I think it would add that reflectivity you’re referring to😀👍
no shave August :-) just kidding. Really like the improvements. Here's to hoping the hail stays away. Always looks like a professional build with your projects!
Sharp looking greenhouse; I love the vent covers with the automatic mechanisms. BTW, I think the metal roofing on the northside is a smart idea. I hope this works well for you.
Great video, you should share it with Good Simple Living a recent ex Police man she is the last two weeks starting their family homestead in North Idaho. I think something with Geo thermal tubes added in. The metal on North side would be great for snow load. All you who lay your lives on the list be protecting the public deserve more. Thanks!
Great project. I built a solar greenhouse 7 or 8 years ago which has worked well but I badly need to improve summer ventilation. Mine had to be south facing but on the surface as we have too much ground water in this part of France, I need to get insects in to pollinate the fruits I am growing inside. Thanks for all your ideas.
That lizard in the background wanted to be in the video also as you were filming inside. Also met one of your fellow firefighters a couple of months back when I was there for a public meeting on I-11. His name was Brian, he and his brother bought a decommissioned missile silo.
Matt Tolman haha...he was checking on his future sauna😂👍 About the middle silo...sounds super cool! Do you remember where he said he worked. I work with several Brian’s but don’t remember any purchasing one of those. But super interested....hope they’d give me a tour😉👍
Matt Tolman haha...just looked it up. Yes, Brian and I went to high school together and even did a fire academy together before I tore a muscle and had to have surgery. End up the neighboring department. Great guy and great family too!
Red headed step-child eh? Hmmmm...a day in the sun may not be the best thing! 😂 (speaking from experience)😁 Wonderful video as always. Very envious as always... and the stache looks good!
Big Sky at Night haha....glad you got the humor in it😀. I’ve got a lot of red heads in my family and several friends who are very strong ‘gingers’ as we say with affection...haha. The sunscreen is definitely a must though. My buddy says that redheads are the royalty of mankind...because they are genetically designed to not be in the sun...like the royalty of the past😂
homesteadonomics I like you’re friends thinking 👍 We’re also unicorns, genetically improbable & the rarest on the planet. 😁 makes us more royal pains in the arse as well! 😂
I've done the moustache experiment 100 times. A couple weeks in the itching begins, residue from everything I eat and drink take up residence, the whiskers brush my lips and annoy the Hell out of me, I get a cold and my face gets raw from trying to keep my s'stashe from getting encrusted with snot... and eventually I wake up at 2am and grab a trimmer.
Excellent Ryan's Shed Plans. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxn5Hu39f8DPIFYfBbaiOSis3qfw0nqoFp I built the basic model with its help and it turned out great . It is intensive and really educational. Ryan's got another victor! No one can represent it better than Ryan's. Thank you, Ryan's!
Oh my goodness....40 minutes after it is put up and I am STILL late to the show...#1441!!!! :) LOL! Looking so good! Liking the new upgrades! A very, very fine job! :)
Oh! Man glad you told us about the mustache. I was worried your evil twin brother had hijacked your web-site. I was looking for him to shoe-black it and start to twirl it between his thumb and fore-finger. On a side note in the greenhouse how about using some of those insulating foam panels you used on the camper on the metal side. Make them removable because you only really need them in winter time to hold in heat. Also perhaps some of those LED strips along the center beam to light the place when it's dark. A small battery and one small solar panel should provide all the power you need.
William Bays haha....nope, not a twin....he was the real deal😉😂 And yes those panels are what i was thinking about as I really like the aluminum lamination on them and they seem super stout too. But I also may just staple up some plastic to create a air gap.
For insulating the metal side of the greenhouse frame a lip on the outside and lay closed cell panels in it (taped together). Cover that with plastic and ... sheet metal! (Or sod if you think it can take it.)
Justin Rhodes needs your help venting his green house. You do such nice work sure he would appreciate your contact. Thanks for showing your skills and creativity.
thanks for yours videos guy ! I'm also building a sunken greenhouse since last year, but smaller than yours. it's very interesting and exciting to build such things. my idea is to use it as a frost free greenhouse during winter for some plants, as a nursery for growing seeds during the beginning of spring (tomatoes, cucumber,etc..) and finally as a rainwater basin using a pool cover between april and september. see you in your next videos. have a nice DaIY ! (watching your channel from France)
Great job! I suggest that you install screen or wire gridding to the roof vents. It will stop those bad reptiles from dropping in for warmth. Edit....Never mind , I watched the rest of the video (like I should have before I posted my comment). Thanks for sharing this project!
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Nice tidy building skills. If it looks good it'll probably work good.
Holy mustache! Great video and to see you still having a positive attitude after the weather damage. I may have sounded like Lewis Black if I had to redo it 😂😂😂
Really nicely done. If I may suggest, a plastic netting on the automatic vents might allow complete protection from lizards etc. if attached to the underside of the popout vent and the roof structure underneath the moving panel. I'm making a 1K sq ft hoop house for aquaponics. Just about to finish the deck inside, then mount the grow beds.
The greenhouse revival is looking great. I agree that using the same product is a really great $$$ solution. I just think about folks that live in a hurricane or flood zone that keep rebuilding. You do what you got to do and live with those factors. I see the lizard running around in the background. I am sure they will enjoy your gabion walls. I enjoy lizards but I an not much of a snake fan. Any worries or concerns of the moving in. I really love the headroom that you have in this building. Looking forward to the growing season. Thanks for sharing.
Wait a minute...a caterpillar crawled up onto your lip somewhere in the middle of the video, lol. That is definitely a +5 Firefighting Skills - 'Stache. Good upgrade on the Greenhouse - anything that can survive the AZ summers is built well.
Yeh I remember you looking for a hail solution. We had a hail storm roar through here (MD) and I could just about squeeze the Mrs car in the garage but my truck was outside. I threw two good quality drop cloths over the cab and hood and shut the doors on them to keep them in place. People up and down the block had damage to cars and homes. Nothing catastrophic mind you but enough to call their insurance guy. My stuff? Just fine!
I was glad I was home when it happened. But giving your situation more thought, how about something like an old RV awning frame with some waterproof canvas rolled up in it for a hail cover?
Adding insulation to that north side roofing will make an enormous difference in heat retention during the winter, as well as extending the growing season in there further into the warmer parts of the year. Maybe also consider putting a thick layer of wood chips/mulch surrounding the structure as insulation for the soil.
With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
As a 'non-builder, I thoroughly appreciate your simplicity in explanations, also, you do good work, which I find is enjoyable to look at !
That vent setup with the temp controlled struts is VERY clever. As a matter of fact, that whole greenhouse is about 3 steps ahead of anything I could build. Well done !!!
Bent Nickel those vents are really cool! Wished I had found them during the original build but glad they are in now😀
This is a very attractive greenhouse. I love the roofing materials and metal roof vents. Thank you for offering this info.

Thank you Tony! But I’ll be honest...I think I’d rather have your poly tunnels as I’m guessing they will be producing literal tons of food😀👍👍
Joe
I'm so happy the green house is back in action. I think you made wise decisions and look forward to what other ideas you come up with.
Bonnie Barber thank you Bonnie!
This is the best greenhouse I’ve ever seen! So practical! I could use it as a root cellar in the winter. Wonder if I can add it on to my honey-do list! 😊

That window prop is really cool, never seen that technology before

Oh! Man glad you told us about the mustache. I was worried your evil twin brother had hijacked your web-site. I was looking for him to shoe-black it and start to twirl it between his thumb and fore-finger. On a side note in the greenhouse how about using some of those insulating foam panels you used on the camper on the metal side.

And yes those panels are what i was thinking about as I really like the aluminum lamination on them and they seem super stout too. But I also may just staple up some plastic to create a air gap.
You didn't mention if he (you) was evil or not. Should I worry? What about the lights for nighttime or dark evening work in the greenhouse?
For insulating the metal side of the greenhouse frame a lip on the outside and lay closed cell panels in it (taped together). Cover that with plastic and ... sheet metal! (Or sod if you think it can take it.)

Yeh I remember you looking for a hail solution. We had a hail storm roar through here (MD) and I could just about squeeze the Mrs car in the garage but my truck was outside. I threw two good quality drop cloths over the cab and hood and shut the doors on them to keep them in place. People up and down the block had damage to cars and homes. Nothing catastrophic mind you but enough to call their insurance guy. My stuff? Just fine!
Ford Fan awesome! That sounds like you were set up well with that storm😀👍
I was glad I was home when it happened. But giving your situation more thought, how about something like an old RV awning frame with some waterproof canvas rolled up in it for a hail cover?
Another genius survival technique
Well done. Love the 3 rivers hat and pet Komodo dragon.
Adding insulation to that north side roofing will make an enormous difference in heat retention during the winter, as well as extending the growing season in there further into the warmer parts of the year. Maybe also consider putting a thick layer of wood chips/mulch surrounding the structure as insulation for the soil.
