- Always wanted to get a greenhouse and I was really worried that it would get to hot in my Zone 10a Florida heat, but for the price of these portable green house it was worth the try.
Here's a link to Amazon where I purchased it. It went up slightly on price when I originally purchased it $115.00.
www.amazon.com...
Welcome to the cicada channel. All cicadas all the time.
You can reinforce those uprights by using rebar inside them. Will help the greenhouse last longer.
Awesome. I'll have have to give that a try. Thank you!
Thanks for taking us along through the process.
PLEASE PURCHASE REAL LONG STAKES and this will work we had one and I said to hubby install REAL STAKES FROM HOME DEPOT
He waited and one day the greenhouse using only the stakes it came with
WAS IN THE WOODS BHAAAHAHA
Anyway MORAL OF THE STORY
Hubby felt so bad he and his cousin built me a custom greenhouse 💕💕
Thank you for the advise! Maybe it's not a bad idea to let it blow away if i can get a custom greenhouse out of the deal. I'll try that on my wife and see how things go. I'll keep you posted. LOL.
I added ground contact 2 x 6 around the bottom and attached the poles to it. And then did simple wood frame at back and front. Nice and strong
I enjoyed watching you assembling your greenhouse. I admire your patience and great demeanor. New friend here from Texas.
Thank you!
I bought one just like yours, but I couldn't cool it enough, 120 and 130 degrees , so I took off the plastic and covered it with shade cloth 30% shade, it works fine . you could put the white cover on for the winter and take it off for the summer.
I hold mind down with 3 ropes tied to gro bags filled with rocks, and you will need a really good tie down, 3 ropes, 6 bags, 300 pounds of rocks. good luck.
Thank you for the tips! I definitely need to order a shade cloth for it. I was thinking about banging in t-post on the corner and using zip ties to keep it from blowing away. Thank you again much appreciated.
You're missing the ice cream truck!
Lol. Nope. They will never happen with my kids. Lol.
I tell you what I built a greenhouse out of some free pallet jack for the base and halfway up the wall then took 3/4 inch PVC and made half hoop and got 8 mil plastic and coved over it and still have not spent what you spent to build that , but if something as a temp greenhouse its good buy
All the same, I commend you for setting it up all on your own. You've inspired me. I want one too. But, I will need a greenhouse building party!
If you're near me, I would gladly stop by and help. Let me know when the party is.
@@growingyourvegetables 😊 Thanks! I'm in Delaware.
@@amysnipes4245 Sorry just a bit to far from Florida to help.
@@growingyourvegetables 😂
Lol you are patient. I have one of these and I like it
LOLOLOLLOL Dude! you're hllarious and fun to watch. Best gardening show eva! I subscribed.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching this - typical of what most people would go through - I couldnt record it because it would lose the PG 13 aspect
Thank you!
Lol
PG 13 wtf is that.
@@kennethlatimer4607 its a joke he would get mad and start swearing
@@victorybeginsinthegarden so many Karen's in the world. I thought he showed huge restraint. I would have been at least an R.lol
Love how real your video was these are normal issues that happen and you included in your video. Looking forward to another video once you get plants growing so we can see how it does.
Thank you!
I'm going to get a ladder then you bring a chair that was funny.
Lol! I couldn't find my ladder, so I was like I'll just use that chair. Luckily the chair didn't break from underneath me now that I think about it because I'm 275 lbs. Lol. Hopefully OSHA doesn't watch the video.
I have a 20 x 10 polytunnel for our orchids and it gets really hot but we use fans which is really important air circulation. We're in Tampa BTW.
So I'd say just run an extension cord and slap a fan in it.
Yours is made of the same material as mine, you might get a year out of it before it breaks down. Mine has holes windows are the first to go.
Thumbs up for ingenuity!
Thank you!
Great ingenuity! Best solution is always Work with what you have!
Thank you 😊
I got one like that just a little smaller. Mine did have pieces along the back and pieces in the front with a framed doorway. It had two roll up windows and a roll up door. Similar to yours but with more framing. It worked great this past sprig for me. I'm in the Northeast. I used incandescent clear Christmas lights for supplemental heat and it did the trick. We took it down for the winter as I don't think it could handle a good snow but I will be setting it up again in end of Feb/Mar. Hope your greenhouse worked out.
That's awesome. So far so good for my green house. I'm sure I'm going to have take it down for hurricanes and Tropical storms we get every year.
Glad I ran across this ,I'm in Florida 9 a
Not that I know much but many southerners use a shade cloth over the greenhouse and ventilation.
I think so as well or they just use shad houses. I was thinking my green house would be too hot in the summer but perfect during our mild winters.
Life is Good!
Sure is. Love that shirt. #lifesgood
Great save!
Thank you. Too bad yesterday the wind blew it over. Just posted a video about it today.
If a hurricane approaches take it apart stored it away!!!!!!! The wind is your biggest enemy...
It would have been easier with some rope
Definitely! This dirt cheap green house has not chance against a hurricane!
In Florida those covers only last about 8 or 9 months! Better to invest in a roll of Green house plastic!
Thanks for the heads up.
Shelterlogic. They have stronger poles. The frame matters. If you are going to reuse. Great video. Shelterlogic.
Thanks for your reference. I just bought 1 and this video helps me alot on what to expect. #Keepupthegreatwork #Newsubhere ❤❤❤ lovely family by the way!
Glad I could help!
I’m in 10A. I got my GH from Harbor Freight. It’s got hard plastic panels. I use it for seed starting. I love it. Shade cloth helps on really hot days. We anchored it to the ground. You might want to do the same as a good wind will blow it away! Happy gardening!
Thank you! I'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind.
I had the same problem lol, but we got it done
I bought a couple of small greenhouses from Big Lots here in NJ at the end of the season. They didn't have the screening or air vents but they did have 3 rows of shelving on both sides. They were originally $79.99. but I only paid $17 each at the end of the season. Sadly, the vinyl covering only lasted for one season.
Better put some t post in ground and zip tie with heavy duty ties I have one and it will blow away with very little wind
Great recommendation! I don't know why I didn't think of that before. Thanks again! 😊
Your garden looks very good, and it shows all the hard work you’ve put in 👏🏾👍🏽
Thank you
@@growingyourvegetables Wouldn't mulch around your plants to cover the black landscape fabric protect some plants from the heat? Consider shade cloth for heat sensitive plants also.
Frost killed off my garden last month except for celery and kale which is cold tolerant.
You are blessed with long growing seasons that in the Pacific Northwest lacks.
Your garden looks nice. 👍
You did an awesome job👍
Great job improvising with this. I have a cheaply too - 5x6x6 and have had it up over a year. I have been in it multiple times per day except for the dead of winter here in Ind. My zippers gave out a few weeks ago. I purchased construction zippers off Amazon and adhered them over the old one. It is working great. Are you going to shore up your greenhouse? I bet you will love it. I plan to get a better and bigger one next fall unless this one bites the dust. Then I would get another one sooner.
What fun would that be. Lol.
Really enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 😊
At least u stayed with it looks like you are gonna have to get some tent stakes at the he bottom to o make it more stable . It's pretty nice for what you paid for it. . Nice. Thanks for sharing .
Thank you! I was planning on using paver stones to hold down the plastic and installing Post on the corners to hold it down some, but if we can a Tropical Storm or hurricane nothing will keep it from blowing away. I'll have to take it down if that happens.
Just get some 4 x 4 posts on the corners to shore it up....
Inside out. Oh gees!
Lol.
Shade cloth needed
Amazing dude. Your patience was incredible and always needed for gardening in hell. I'm southwest Florida. Our growing season is winter. Most do not understand that. I started tomatoes no earlier than November 1. Before that everything dies. Damping off. Looking for tomatoes in January
The Yankees do their thing but it has little to do with our zone.
Hi, your channel just came up in my recommended with this video. I bought a quictent 3 years ago and it's still standing. The netting in the windows has dry rotted, the buckles on the doors have as well but that stuff I feel can be replaced with a little craftiness. The plastic itself is still in awesome shape. Now I do have mine strapped across the roof with 3 ropes attached to u-posts on each side. Here in TN we get some pretty fierce winds with spring and summer storms and I have had no wind damage. Mine is the 20x10x7. Also another great use for the greenhouse frame like quictent is a chicken coop!! I purchased just a frame and made my chicken coop. The lower half is wrapped in hardware cloth and the top is covered with chicken wire. I used 2x4s to frame the end up for a homemade door. It too works great!! I even decided to buy the greenhouse cover for that size and put it over for rain and winter protection after my original tarp dry rotted.
Cool! I hope mine last that long. 🙏 I need to get some chickens too. 🐔
I am getting a green house and I have heat too but will be getting a shade cloth for really hot months
Great job
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing for the summer months.
please let us know the resolution on get missing parts. if they are reputable they'll send you a complete unit.
They responded quickly to my email and the missing parts arrived within a week.
Good video of what not to buy and not to do. Glad I went with the hoop style
Hoop style works perfect.
Also you may wish to get some rebar, soda bottles, and concrete and make stabilizers and zip tie the frame to them so it doesn't blow away
I built one of similar size myself for less than 60 bucks using pvc and 2x4s from Home Depot. These kits seem cheap but they’re twice the cost of just sourcing the materials yourself.
True that! 💪
I read 40 reviews. They are all over the place. I chose not to buy.
Definitely before you said it my first thought was that there were some dead bodies under those mounds.
It does look like that some days with my hilled rows.
I live in 9B Orlando..I bought a cheap greenhouse from Amazon also I had to get candy cane reber to anchor it down due to wind.. I has worked great for me. I roll up the cover so air flows through and then I have a new one for when it gets cold. It's December now I'm just starting my fall garden. It's been really to warm to plant.
It sure has been warm! Looks like next week it's going to be in the 80s again.
This is why my husband hates diy. Hopefully it works. Good job.
Thank you! 😊
I have one about 1/4 the size of yours. Two different sizes. One of them got blown to the other side of the house during a storm, so I made sure to tie it down on all four corners AND to the house. Wind can get under and inside it and blow it upwards. Also, always count the parts first. I had a few pieces missing from one of my sets, too. But they weren't too major. I have a green colored one and clear. They both will get equally hot.
Zone 9B here, Central Florida.. I use this on mine- 10x33 Ft Ultra Fine Mesh Protection Netting for Vegetable ( Amazon) It's less than 20 bucks. Keeps " most" of the bugs out, the furry tailed critters out. This is my 3rd year using the same piece, but it's time to be replaced. Cold snap- toss the plastic over, and then take it back off when the snap has passed. Lets the sun and rain in, and shades as well in the heat of summer.
Really helpful advise and thank you! I'm going to keep this in mind. Also the tack welds on this cheap greenhouse are already starting to separate, so I'm probably only going to get about a year out of it.
Excellent..thanks for the info.im also 9b n was basically wiped out with pests....im planting now lol a lil off from the rest of the country..maybe 9 n 10 need to have a sand n beach homestead conference 😃
@@growingyourvegetables well I didn't mention that. Been there done that! Even the 3to400 dollar jobs won't stand up to our Central FL thunderstorms. Well, not for long. We are about to go ahead and purchase a real one. Not going to think about the money wasted so far. But, consider this before you buy another one. How much are you will to invest in your own grocery store?
@@ladyryan902 Until we can finally get a short hard freeze. We are going to be stuck with these bugs. It's been a long time since we had one, and that is why we are seeing so much. Don't want a killing freeze..But, I nice bug knock back would be awesome..😆😅 They are eating my broccoli and collards as fast as those poor plants can grow them.
I would add some support, maybe 4x4 posts with a 2x6 beam down the middle. IMO, it looks like a strong wind could shred that greenhouse rather easily.
The greenhouse is definitely cheap and flimsy. Strong wind would definitely damage it. You can't beat the prices of these portable greenhouses and just getting a year to two out of them makes sense.
Your garden is perfect. Look at asian garden 2 table for a great trellis made from plastic water pipes. You did a good job.
Thank you!
This greenhouse would tip over in my area around April, when we get our strong winds coming through. I did get a much smaller greenhouse though, about the size of a small bookshelf. I do like that your greenhouse has a bug screen, very useful.
Cool!
God bless y’all
Thank you! 😊
I REALLY LIKE THE WAY YOU DESIGN YOUR GARDEN VERY NEAT AND DANDY . Can you please tell me where you bought your plastic mulch and how much they are ? Thanks 🙏
I purchased the weed cloth from Greenhouse Megastore. Here is their website link: www.greenhousemegastore.com/
@@growingyourvegetables thank you sir , I appreciate it .
Whiteflies, aphids and mealy bugs are destroying my tomatoes and peppers currently. Going to try peppermint/rose mary spray
Lmk how that works out for you. I usually use Neem oil.
@@growingyourvegetables Had to tap out. Even daily applications of neem barely did anything. Going to focus more on growing tropicals. Our citrus, Papaya,pineapple and ,dragon fruit are doing awesome Down here in vero beach Florida.
I don't think it would work where I am, we get a lot of snow. I'd sure like one, though, it would extend our zone 3.
Put 2 of the 3 top sports and use pvc up top.
I am looking for something like this, the current price is $159.99 on Amazon. I think people forget the old saying, you get what you pay for. But with some simple modifications this would be a great greenhouse for the purpose I want to use it for. I have five flower beds, and with the prices of one annual flower now reaching $6.00 at Lowes and Home Depot, it cost a fortune to fill my beds in. I am thinking something like this, with the modifications and seeds and starting mix would be cheaper than what I pay for one flower bed. Thank you for the video.
Glad I could help!
Since the PVC pipe worked so well, I think I would have added a couple more cross bars to the sides and roof to give it more strength and stability. We get a lot of wind. How did you anchor it?
Lucky it hasn't blown away yet. Some one recommended that I use T-Post and Zip ties in the corners and that sounded like a great idea, so I planning on doing that soon. Also using paver stones to hold down the plastic.
I used 3 cargo straps one in the front, middle And one in the back anchored to 6 earth stakes. Man it doesn't move plus good old sandbags ALL around the flaps. I used cargo straps because they are flat and worn rub into the plastic. I love this greenhouse now that's put together. Good luck!
@@curtismayfield4166 awesome!! My seedlings this year started perfectly. Having a green house increased my success rate verses starting them on my back patio for sure. Thanks for the comment!
Video starts at 12:00
Thank you for the help. I need to learn how to do that.
did the company ever send you the missing parts? enjoyed the build even when things went wrong.
They did!! Pretty fast too.
@@growingyourvegetables great
Im jealous of that garden. I don't have much space that gets more than 4hr of sun with all the trees
Have you consider cutting some of the trees down or heavily pruning them back?
@@growingyourvegetables the ones I own are. And the neighbors would be upset if I cut their trees down. I've thought about though. Also I have gave up some space for a large garage.
@@ronrico2620 Lol
Tossing the box and bad of parts could have bent the piece also but the pvc is a good rescue
Everything looked great until I saw the mesh screening they used for the exterior it’s totally unacceptable, a handful of bugs could wipe out an entire years worth of starter’s.Do they make a smaller size mesh and if so how much? With all the different ways to cross ventilate in the G/H, we don’t think it would matter what color it was. Happy gardening kids…
Son of a ...🤣 great video
LOL. thank you!!
You only need a nursery, not a hole green house!
Ps if the company never sends you the parts home improvement centers sell metal pipes easy to cut and drill a hole
They actually did and quickly. I had the missing pieces in just over a week.
Honestly, you are a natural! Thank you for the information. I am in need of one, so, now I am doing the research and you are a natural instructor. Now, I feel competent to make an informed decision on this purchase. #Keepupthegreatwork #NewSubHere
Awesome!!
Looks like you might need to spray some epsom salt on your plants. Nice set up though, great design
Thank you! I'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind.
What brand is greenhouse,think I might invest in one,only pour a little concrete around posts
I post a link to it in the video description.
Did you have something to hold to ground. Might hook bottom to garden fence. Or use metal hangers to go into ground.
I was thinking on installing T-post and zip ties to hold it from blowing away.
So 2 months later, What do you think about this greenhouse?
So far so good. I'll definitely have a better opinion after the winter season.
Need to remove or cover black weed blocker because black keeps in heat.
Sure does. Florida sunshine just zapped alot of plants.
The part about the tunnel starts at 12:09
Thank you
It’s almost Christmas, how is the green house holding up?
Pretty good, so far. I haven't had it long enough to give my final opinion on it.
Hi Adam, I'm planning to get a plastic panel greenhouse (not a plastic sheet version), and was wondering if these pests will be prevented from eating the leaves on my veggies if planted in a greenhouse? What percentage of these pest problem will be prevented with a greenhouse?
You should have very little pest issues in a greenhouse since it's more of a controlled environment. I haven't had any pest issues so far in my greenhouse. My only issue is controlling the temperature from being to hot since I'm in Zone 10a. I'm actually considering draping a shade cloth over this coming week because it's so darn hot.
@@growingyourvegetables Got it. Thanks for sharing. Would two fans, one on each end help move air across?
Yes it would help. If it gets too hot maybe open the vents and the door as well.
I live in Florida, zone 9B. Where did you get your $115 greenhouse? Btw, you should have replaced your metal top ones with metal ones from sides & used pvc to replace missing metal ones for the sides. Easier to replace because it is lower!
Thank you!
where you get Greenhouse I won’t keep secret
It won't stay a second in a windy day
Adam..im in 9b few hrs up from you I think..how did you amend your soil? Have you tried southern seeds? Just curious thx
Originally I tilled in bags of cheap cow manure compost from home depot, alfalfa pellets i got from tractor supply and espoma garden tone fertilizer. Now I just us a balanced organic fertilizer and top off the rows with cow manure compost. Also I do a cover crop once a year and cover the garden with a black out tarp to prevent weeds for about a 6 weeks after tilling in the cover crop.
Do you have any updates on this greenhouse yet?
Not yet. I was going to do an update next year. I just haven't had it long enough to give a accurate opinion on it.
👍👍
Did customer service ever send you your missing parts?
They did!
Did that okra and tomato put off?
Sure did. Okra did awesome and definitely more tomatoes that we could eat.
@@growingyourvegetables comparing with zone 7, okra no, tomatoes up against the house yes. Squash yes. How did yours do in that setup bc I grow them over grass.
What do you have down for ground cover
I use landscape weed fabric over most of my rows and in the walkways I've been using pine bark fines.
Cheap and missing pieces.
Can you share where you got this greenhouse?
Here is the link to the one I purchased for $115.00. It did go up a bit on price. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GFO9XIY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Turn inside out...there are ties
Please let me know what company you purchased this from. Did they fix your issue? Thank you!
Here the link on amazon where I purchased it. It did go up in price a bit. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GFO9XIY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That is far too flimsy for Texas climate. One breath of wind and it will crumple like a potato chip
Is it possible for you to give me the link I would like to order one also

There's alot of portable greenhouses choices on Amazon.
@@growingyourvegetables I found one like yours for $134 and with points off I can get it for ..... drum roll.... $15!!! Just have to talk hubby into it!
@@nancytabor8302 great deal!
Read the instructions before you do it !!
where you get it at ?
Amazon.com. Just search for portable greenhouses.

Thank you!
I wonder where he’s from
Sebastian Florida
you will have to cut that pvc pipe out
Is $118 what can go wrong
Exactly 💯. If you get 1 year out of it you didn't loose much and you've continued the sharpen your gardening skills before your big green house investment.
Vero beach Florida here. Where u at?
