Our DIY PVC Pipe Greenhouse

- This is a small greenhouse that we built out of PVC pipe and plastic sheeting. Most parts used to build this greenhouse were purchased at a local hardware store with the exception of a few specialty fittings that we ordered from a website. This little greenhouse worked great for starting plants from seeds and saved room in our other greenhouses.

I have been looking for something like this for a long time. .... thank you
This is exactly what I’m looking for! I’m gonna cover it with netting to make it pest proof! Thank you!
Great job. easiest I've seen so far and I'm sure the cheapest!
Great greenhouse.
Thank you!
just ordered the *WoodBlueprints. Com* guide for step-by-step videos and different plans to BUILD A SHED. they have some awesome plans in there
I made that exact same shape but I turned it into my dogs outdoor bathroom that way the grandkids can play in the backyard without any stinky surprises.
This summer I’m going to make a pvc summer room
That’s a creative use I like that
i wanted to build for my terrace and i am going to do so, nice video and idea is very good
Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback
well done
Thank you for the feedback!
Nice design
Thank you!
Do you have a list of all the materials you used or a set of printable instructions?
How did you attach/secure plastic covering?
How well has this held up?
I’ve been looking for something simple like this and finally found it in your video! Thank you for the demo!
I have been gardening all my life pretty much and I’ve been using PVC pipe to make summer/winter cover over my plants as I overwinter a lot of peppers etc.
So I have been using the PVC clamps and insect/frost covers.
It gets extremely hot where I’m at, and we also get freezing temps.
I have a few questions for you if you do not mind?
How much was your total cost for making this 5 x 5 greenhouse?
How do you measure and cut the plastic for the various ends, sides, door and roof of the greenhouse without wasting material?
Was it simply a little over 5 foot pieces individually for each wall etc.?
Sorry for all the questions, Christine
The rolls of plastic from the hardware store aren't that expensive so we just wrapped the plastic around the frame and then used the clamps to hold it in place. We than cut away the excess plastic. The roll that we purchased was twice as much as we needed, so we will get 2 years of use out of that one roll.
Yes, 5 ft long pieces cut for each wall. We went with 5 ft to keep the measuring simple.
What company did you buy the odd parts from? Thanks!
Thanks for this! How has it held up? Are you using it over winter? I noticed it’s unpainted in the video, did you paint it to keep it from becoming brittle?
We are not using it over the winter. We have 2 other permanent small green houses and this one was just used as an auxiliary one during the warm months. The nice part of building a greenhouse like this is the ability to take it apart and store it away over the winter.
Would love to know if you did anything special to attach the film at the bottom of the frame. It looks like it is just tucked underneath. Wondering if it stays tight, if you clamped the plastic on there as well?
Did you glue it? Does all the pipe pieces come apart?
What website did you order the special fittings from? Thanks!
Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!
Can you use this for winter? We live in Texas so it doesn’t snow or if it does only once
Probably have to brace up the roof a little more incase of a heavy wet snow.
No video clip of a shake test to show how sturdy it is?
Hello how did you wrap the plastic to get it to look that way
Here is a video showing the special clips that we used to attach the plastic sheeting to the PVC pipe frame: th-cam.com/video/MgrpQFN-j1o/w-d-xo.html
There is a link to the site we purchased them from in the video description.
Ok I know I'm late seeing this but thank you for such a great idea we can put our own spin on can't wait......but what I'm more stuck on is your chair my daughter is sunshine and I'm moonshine (just nicknames we've had for ever) so I really need to know did you make it, did you buy it, I will be scanning your page to see if I can find it if you did make I'm so inlove with that beautiful worked wood chair 🌞🌛😊
We picked that up at a yard sale a few years ago.
Well it's beautiful you guys got a great chair 😊
How did you get the painters plastic to stay ??
Plastic clips that clip around the pipe. We ordered them from the same website that we got the specialty fittings from
Is that a lamp inside?
What about ordering a 4 mil clear plastic and it doesn't limit the amount of light. I use farmtek and their prices are pretty reasonable
We didn't really have issues with the light being limited with ours.
Can it withstand a storm?
It handled heavy rains.
Update?
If you don't mind me asking how much did this project cost
Back then all of this cost about $80. Can't imagine what it would cost now
How did you make the door
An easy option for a door is just a roll down plastic flap. Roll a piece of pipe in the bottom of it to help keep it from blowing around.
How much did you spend with this PVC pipe greenhouse ?
I think it was about $80 for all the pipe, fittings, and the roll of plastic
How much was the cost?
pls share size
HOW WOULD YOU DO THE DOOR?
Roll down door is the simplest and cheapest. You can use the same plastic the green house is made from. Clip it at the top of the doorway, and attach a small piece of PVC pipe to the bottom of it for weight to pull it straight down. Then use a pair of squeeze clamps to hold it up when you want it open the whole way.
@@DirtyBuffaloProductions That will work, thank you!
