hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out diy backyard greenhouse plans try Lomonting Easy Greenhouse Mentor (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got cool success with it.
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else is searching for diy greenhouse ideas try Lomonting Easy Greenhouse Mentor (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.
Nice job Todd I love the sled idea. Just what would be perfect for me since mine is a bit smaller and I live alone. I needed to get confirmation about the door I was planning and you confirmed. Thanks so much.
Dont try to use joints. Made that mistake. If you do, use 45s. I put a T in the middle of a 20ft section and it broke every time. I went with rebar instead
The wood is treated, so I've never had an issue with termites or ants. Pests and rodents will find a way in if they want to, so don't put things in there that attracts them.
I'm curious about the life of the plastic cover. I've built one with visqueen before and after about 3 months the sun caused it to crack and split and then the wind finished it off.
So far that hasn't been an issue. When I'm pulling it around there is enough of an upward lift that it is not raking. But, I've been pulling it around on solid ground. That may be a different story on mulch or something soft.
I'm from the mid-Atlantic area, so I can't speak to North Texas. However, a person by the handle of Texas Prepper 2 actually popularized the design. You may want to try reaching out to him.
Amazing I’m gonna try the same what grade is the plastic (thickness)?and could you link the cattle wire I’m unsure what kind of wire that is here in the uk? Thank you!
Here is the cattle panel I get: www.southernstates.com/catalog/product/p-10375-ok-brand-max-50-10-fence-panel-5-ga-50-in-x-16-ft. The plastic is I believe 6 mil.

@@greatescapefarms ok thanks I was just wondering I'm new to all this I had heard that pressure treated wood in the past had some caustic chemicals and I didn't want it to leach in to the ground or the vegetable.
I understand what you are saying, but if you are extending a season and are right on the border of being too cold, that crack could cause the temperature to go too low. Depends on the situation I guess. Thanks for taking time to comment!
Yes it is. TX Prepper2 is his TH-cam handle. His business where he sells the design is called something else that escapes me at the moment. I have a link in the show notes to my blog post and on that post I have a link to his design that he now sells on Amazon.
Treated lumber is definitely not for good grade products. Especially a hot house! If your willing to take the chance I guess. Plenty of research on this copper infused lumber. Great idea though!
I don't know if you have it in the US but Macrocarpa is the alternative non-toxic timber here. It might last ten years I guess but definitely not as rot resistant as the chemical-laden stuff.
Very nice!! How would you attach the plastic outside bottom on the sides on the wood? Stables, nails? Then put another smaller board over to help hold? Maybe I just answered my own question. Thanks!!
or you can get this greenhouse from amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084M2V98L/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=murph1018-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B084M2V98L&linkId=62bdac3d623bc95778b85776ccc66c32
DemonKilla - Why in the world would you want a "warm" greenhouse in the desert?! This design for sure retain moist, but also enhance inner temperature. In fact under full Sun light it will raise inner temperature a lot. Makes little sense for desert environment, even if nights in the desert can be quite cold. For whatever it's worth, my 2 cents would set you more into shade cloth/fleece cloth (reduce Sun exposure). Associated with heavy organic mulching (no plastics) for temperature regulation, moist retention and over time soil improvement. I believe it would provide better ROI, and easier to set. Since the cloth could be set either over the plants or in a pergola type structure. ;-) Cheers
The thin plastic does not hold heat well at all. You can extend heat by putting water jugs in there and painting them black. This will act like a battery, charging in the heat of the day and discharging in the night. But they can only do so much.
@@agrarianarc I have not tried that. I do know they make various types and grades of plastic and I imagine you could spend the extra money for better plastic vs. doubling up and get better results - unless of course you already have enough to double up - free is always better :)
We are a commercial nursery operation and we take cuttings from plant, root them, and sell them. Here is the calculation on how we (as a commercial nursery) came up with $5,000 of product per 8’ long enclosure. 8’ long, with two 2’ wide beds and a walkway in between. Plants have 2” x 2” of space. Equates to 96” length / 2” of plant space = 48 rows per bed times two beds = 96 rows total. Plants are 2” apart and beds are 24” wide yielding 12 plants per row. 12 plants per row x 96 total rows = 1152 total plants. Assuming 90% success in rooting, we yield about 1035 plants. At a wholesale price of $5 each, we yield $5,175 per 8’ long enclosure.
I would only use a green house of this design for season extension - early start or extending into the fall. I have everything out of it in the summer when it is blazing hot out. If I did keep items in there, I'd use screen on the door, leave the window open, and also use a shade cloth of 50% or more shade so it did not get direct sun. I would just lay the shade cloth right on top of the glazing.
You're fine. They don't treat lumber the dangerous way anymore, I built this greenhouse with treated lumber years ago after doing hours and hours of research on it. Not only that, but if your veggies aren't touching the lumber, there was never an issue, some people are just scared of everything. Just a tip though, that foam is going to heat up like crazy and ruin your plastic wherever it touches it. I would get some white cloth to slip in between them and the plastic and it should last a lot longer.
I just updated the show notes. Texasprepper2 did the original design and the designs are now being sold on Amazon by Homestead Advisor - don't know if he sold the specs to them or if it is one in the same. The full design can now be purchased on Amazon at: amzn.to/2JCOAzF

You're welcome.
I love this. Hopefully my husband can make this💕
I hope he had good luck with it.
Holy smokes!!!!!!!!!! Freaking sweet brother. The wonderfull mind of the working man. Cheap and super nice and portable!!! Thank u
Wish I could take credit for it. Only a few tweaks are mine. Texas Prepper 2 came up with the design and sells the design specs online.
That'd be a good autoflower house. 4 plants no prob👍 would need a little modification though.
Glad you liked it.
Just what I’ve been looking for thank you
You are most welcome!
Very cool. Thank you.

Did it hold up to wind ?
@@Valkyria121212 living in windy Alberta I wouldn't build this one~~~hell, the wind blows down those small metal sheds, lol

Awesome! And expandable! Love this!

a word from experience I used the 6 mil clear plastic on a similar style and in less than a year the sun destroyed the plastic and I replaced it with clear corrugated roof panels
Thanks for the input. So far no problem here, but will keep this in mind.
use green house plastic, normal 6mil plastic does not have the uvi or uva additives to prevent the break down from the sun
I noticed your cattle panels are on backwards, should be flipped over so cross wires are on the inside.
Thanks! We were going fast with multiple people and that one slipped through the cracks.

@All Thing's Green - They are called cattle panels and they are galvanized steel, so they are rust resistant.
Nice. I like the fence wire. Makes it sterdy.
Sterdy indeed
The cattle panels absolutely make it sturdy.

I'd be afraid that PVC would be very brittle in the winter and break down in the heat of the summer. But I have not tried it myself.

Couple questions. Wouldn't ants and termites eat the wood? And what are you supposed to keep pest and rodents out?
The wood is treated, so I've never had an issue with termites or ants. Pests and rodents will find a way in if they want to, so don't put things in there that attracts them.
I'm curious about the life of the plastic cover. I've built one with visqueen before and after about 3 months the sun caused it to crack and split and then the wind finished it off.
This one is rated for 4-years. Amazon link: amzn.to/34GMlWN That will depend on the conditions though.
Looks nice, but noticed bottom frame isn't "on" the skids. Will act as a rake board if pulled. Hopefully there's nothing in the way of the pull. 😉
So far that hasn't been an issue. When I'm pulling it around there is enough of an upward lift that it is not raking. But, I've been pulling it around on solid ground. That may be a different story on mulch or something soft.
its cool but looks super humid.
There is a window and door to let some of the humidity out. Most greenhouses would have the same issue without ventilation.

What kind of plastic did you use? I just wanna know which plastic will allow enough sun to hit my plants.
We just order greenhouse plastic from Amazon or Greenhouse Mega Store. They are rated to let the sun go through.
Think this setup would be good for North Texas winters if I put a heater in there?

I'm in WV. You'd have to make sure heavy wet snow doesn't build up on it too much.
to me....I would leave the gap for a little of temperature control....you know how you crack open a window in the winter time....
I understand what you are saying, but if you are extending a season and are right on the border of being too cold, that crack could cause the temperature to go too low. Depends on the situation I guess.

Hmm. I'll have to research this further. Couldn't use just stud lumber, because it would rot in less than a year with all the water.

how thick are bars on cattle grid please, 6mm ?
online they show as 4 gauge, which equates to .204 inches or 5.189mm.

The thin plastic does not hold heat well at all. You can extend heat by putting water jugs in there and painting them black. This will act like a battery, charging in the heat of the day and discharging in the night. But they can only do so much.

Is that treated lumber? Awesome design! Would be concerned about tainting vegetables with copper and other chemicals used to treat the lumber.
It is treated. I've used PT lumber on a lot of things and haven't had any issues. I've seen several articles that says it isn't that big a deal.
