Just watched this & your pros & cons video. Absolutely amazing what yall have done! We live in SC so we dont have the snow weight like yall do but very informative videos. Will be working with the hubby to see if i can get this dream of mine a reality. Thanks for posting & good luck with all of your homestead ventures.
Great and full of passion work. Thanks so much for your videos. I am from Poland where conditions, materials and prices are different but your way of presenting of all execution stages are best ever. Thanks so much brother’s ❤
Great video. Genius way to mark the areas to put sill plate on top of the concrete. I would have burnt the bottom of the tree support to harden it & debarked it. But that would be my preference. Yours looks beautiful.
Wish I had room for a solid built greenhouse like yours. That looks incredible, loving the cheery color! Nice warm place to take a break from chilly garden chores this spring. Its already the end of the first week in January - can you believe it!?! Spring is coming up on us FAST! Nice camera & editing on your build, BTW. Enjoy your weekend guys.👍
I get so excited when you post a video. Just love watching your progress. Wish I had that kind of land and was 30 years younger🙀. Keep the videos coming. Thank you for sharing❤️🇺🇸
This is absolutely incredible! What a build and how great it turned out! This actually made me think that maybe it would be possible to build something like this with my partner as well. We've been considering buying a greenhouse for a while now, but seeing this makes me think. Truly an inspirational video!!
Yikes did my reply too soon. I just love that greenhouse. The buildings you have constructed are beautiful yet different. With each build I see changes. Happy planting🇺🇸✌️
The runaway wheelbarrow in the beginning got me 😂 You guys this turned out awesome! Was looking forward to this video and to see the whole process is so cool. Also being able to use your own milled wood is dope. If and when we ever build our greenhouse I'm just going to watch this a thousand times over!
What you've built and done, just incredible. QUESTION: when you use those limbed trees for upright ridge supports -- where it is raw/untreated wood put into the ground ... how does that do as far as rotting or not rotting? I have a property where I could certainly take advantage of that so - very curious. And "of course" I just subscribed! 🙂Thanks for your great shares!!!
Good work guys, i'm planning on building one in the spring - and there's some great inspiration here. At the first of the video, my only thought was.. wow - these guys need a tractor. :)
very easy to build this greenhouse but need some time 👍provide my family with food security for the next 100 years - I like this very much !my next DIY project is the greenhouse and thanks for sharing !
Very Cool Greenhouse Build...Great Work ! Thanx for sharing this style, looks really sturdy and workable, good luck with all your planting...following your garden series.
Beautiful build! Hope you get everything out of it you desire. Enjoyed watching the build. I saw your other video on comparing greenhouse builds after watching this one and you mentioned you still need to figure out the ventilation. If you were building it for me, the ONLY change I'd ask for is a window at the back end with a built in thermometer that opens the window automatically when it reaches a certain temp. That way I wouldn't have to keep the door open to vent it, to keep the critters out.
Great video, I'm on my 3rd time watching it 😂 Few questions. 1. Were your foundation forms built with 4x2 ? 2. How tall were the side walls ? 3. What height was the ridge pole above the front/rear frames ? 4. What was your slope length for the roof panels ? Thank you 😊
Great build and fantastic diy skills. A couple of thoughts. Concrete footings didn’t have enough water and we’re too shallow. Ventilation is lacking no room for windows (or at least none that I could see) so it will be too hot in summer.
Thank you and your thoughts are correct haha We did not add enough water, this was our first time ever working with concrete. And We have to add some ventilation this summer. We left the doors large to help with that, and we are pretty far north so hopefully we do not need too much more. Thank you for watching and for the comment:)
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or not. You could use those large stones from digging the foundation in something like a work bench base in the greenhouse. The mass of the stones would make an awesome heat sink and look cool, too. I appreciate the time and effort you have to build such an amazing project. Would suggest using a heavy container. For example, cattle panels. Anchor with long t-post like a Gabion wall. Then a wood or masonry top for work surface. Just a thought.
Great build. If you get a lot of rain, you might consider adding a rain gutter system and direct the water inside, so you have a free source of water inside the greenhouse.
@@TheNorthBranchWI Excellent. I’m living vicariously through TH-cam homesteaders, but I hope to do something similar someday. I would also add a Jackery type portable power station charged by a solar panel to power lights and a water pump to water the plants.
Perfection! I will use your design as my guide. Two questions: 1) Suggestions for gutter collection funneling into greenhouse for plant irrigation? PVC piping through top maybe allowing for gravity feeding? 2) How did you ventilate? I want to build two greenhouses… one adjacent to kitchen and create external door entrance maybe dutch door if allowed by code. The other will be off the family room extending our living space when existing door is open. Goals: reduce heat costs and nutrition.
Thank you, and good luck on your build! We are planning on collecting rain water to water everything. We ventilate our a-frame greenhouse with a vent and the door staying open. We haven't figured that out for this one, yet. But we made the doors big so if they open that will be a huge help. We are pretty far north so we don't need a ton of ventilation. But, if we need more I am going to frame in a window/vent and maybe put a solar fan or something in. I am going to observe and react as the growing season arrives
I'm in the process of building a small greenhouse and I'm going to try clear shower curtains from a dollar store. Extreme low temperatures aren't too bad 18 miles from the coast of SC.
Great and very helpful video. Beautiful Union of two bothers of building a green house. Could you please share where did you buy the polyurethane sheets?
We got them from Menards. www.menards.com/main/outdoors/gardening/greenhouses/6mm-4-x-8-clear-polycarbonate-twinwall-panel/1594351/p-1539153017945-c-10122.htm?exp=false
@@TheNorthBranchWI Perhaps because it was in fast forward? Not sure. I did laugh when the wagon turned over 😂 I was laughing with you of course! One other chuckle. That large rock.. My dad had one in his yard that a loader turned up when grading a new drive. It was so big that I dug a hole right next to it and the 2 of us pushed it in 😂 I told him we should have buried a note with it in case it ever found a way to the surface again!
Turned out very nice. Couple of questions Why did you use wood ridge instead of the poly ridge . Ascetic or availability issues. Not sure why rafters don't align with wall studs. What did you use between wall twin wall panels. Did screw heads make attachments of the facia trim difficult
We had a lot of ceder and prefered that look, too. They dont align because we framed from the front back then did rafters from back to front. It was a beginners mistake but it held up to a lot of snow. WE are still learning as we go. Between panels there is an H channel they slide in. The screws dont stick out much and the cedar is soft enough it wasnt a problem to trim out.
We left the door large to hopefully ventilate most of what we need. We will probably have to put a window in on the other side and get a solar powered arm or something. We are still planning the layout of the interior
You did a great job. Yes perhaps a window in the rear , a ridge vent and some type of exhaust fan should keep it cool. What state/climate zone are you located in?
I'm gearing up to do my own soon, this is not the first build I have seen but like some others, I have picked up multiple hints from your build that I definitely will incorporate into mine. There is one thing that jumps out to me that might be a mistake.... Apparently no vents or windows. I didn't see a heat solution either, although that could be done lots of ways. But unless I missed something no built in way to let heat out in the summer could be an issue???? Last, I have a question for basically anyone.... how beneficial would it be to be insulating, especially in places like the bottom couple of feet all around?
This is so awesome, well done. What a beautiful greenhouse, and great video. My husband and I are doing the same as y’all with chickens and food forest… you’re inspiring and fun to watch. Thank you for the materials list, could we ask, what did this one cost you? Also, do you have plans for this, and if so, would you mind sharing where you got them?
It is a little hard to gave a cost for this one because we milled the cedar ourselves, and we haven't finished the interior yet. and We did not build this from plans. Thank you and good luck with your setup:)
I wish. The problem for us is that our large slope faces direct north. and the one we garden on faces NE. So we would have to move so much earth idk if we could do it. Our South facing slope is by the road and neighbors forest so it would be shaded all the time.
Outstanding job. The project is great and the video progress was well done! I do have 2 questions please. I read you were able to purchase the panels at $55. Is that per 4x8 sheet and can you share the vendor you used? Also what are your wall heights and ridge height. I know the length is 16’ but would also like the width. Thank you for considering a reply and congratulations on a nice structure
hey guys, Greetings from north mexico I always wanted to have a greenhouse at home and soon i will be starting to build a new house on a larger land lot i got the idea of making the path from my property gate to my house entrance into a greenhouse like this would you recomned that ? the idea is to get shelter as soon as you cross the gate and also be received by the greenhouse isntead of a small garden. my only worry is that it would look more like they ware walking into a worksheed innstead into a garden thanks for videos!
Hey y’all, quick question from someone who has poly panels in their tractor supply cart as we speak: did you have to get H clips to connect the poly panels or did they come with connectors, or were you able to make cuts that secured them together?
Hi! I hope i got this to you in time. But the h clips are what connect the panels. They slide in and that makes a seal to keep water and bugs out. Then the u channel goes on the bottom for the same reason. I hope this helps and I hope I understood what you are asking correctly
@@TheNorthBranchWI that’s perfect, thank you very much from the U.P! I’d be honored to check out your farm the next time I’m in the area, maybe help out for a few hours and have a few beers afterwards 😂 Edited for a typo
@@TheNorthBranchWIcan I also ask if you think 6 MM was the best move for our climate? I suppose your greenhouse hasn’t lived through a winter yet so you may not even know, if so that’s kosher 🤙🏼
Incredible video and details. I noticed on your A-frame you gave us a cost breakdown. What was the approximate cost of this awesome greenhouse please? Would like to put one up in Ohio since our weather is so unpredictable. Thanx lots.
Thank you, Jerri! It is a little tough to come up a price for this one because we milled the cedar for the exterior ourselves. If we had to buy it I don't think we would have been able to built it, at least in it's current form. The panels are 4x8 twinwall panels, and those were roughly $50 a piece, and there were a lot of 2x4's (and we painted them all) that went into the frame . There was also concrete, and screws and everything like that. It all depends on the size you are looking for too
@@TheNorthBranchWI I can appreciate your reply. I can work up a rough estimate even with just the skeleton information you gave me. Thanks so much and I really enjoy your channel.
The paint was VOC free and had some outdoor additive to preserve the wood. We figured that was a more cost effective option than cedar and didn't want oil or regular paint in a growing area. We put windows on the front and with those and the doors open the airflow was more than enough. But, we are in zone 4 so the cold is more of a problem for us, than the heat.
They are called twinwall polycarbonate panels. We got ours from various hardware stores, there are probably good places online to source them. and thank you:)
We didnt want the panels to sit right on the 2 x 4. Plus the strips gave it a little support in the middle. Might not be necessary depending on where you are and snow loads.
Is it ok to screw through those panels you use? Do you need to seal them? Also same comments as others re concrete and dpm on top to stop water from soaking up into wood frame. Guttering would help. Great vid though and would love to build my own.
Was the paint for asthetics or for pest control ? If for pest can you explain ? Great job. I’m building a very similar one now. Just got the foundation poured today
The paint we used was non toxic milk paint with an outdoor additive (borax). We did it to save on lumber costs and help prolong the life of the pine and fir. Good luck. Exciting times ahead
@@TheNorthBranchWI are you using clear polycarbonate Twin wall panels for the roof and walls or just the roof ? The walls looked like clear single layer but wanted to verify ? I didn’t see both on your materials list. Thanks for the help.

When you poured the concrete you did not go below the frost line. Aren’t you worried that freeze and thaw cycles will compromise the foundation?

Awesome job!
I appreciate it!
This is awesome! Would love to know what the total cost was, and also what size it is?

hell yeah! Thanks man
Turned out very nice. Couple of questions
Why did you use wood ridge instead of the poly ridge . Ascetic or availability issues.
Not sure why rafters don't align with wall studs.
What did you use between wall twin wall panels.
Did screw heads make attachments of the facia trim difficult

The pour must have taken so long!
Not too bad, actually. It was one of the shorter steps now that I am thinking about it. The digging took over two weeks though haha
Were the furring strips on the roof necessary? It looks like you already had 24" centers with the rafters.
We didnt want the panels to sit right on the 2 x 4. Plus the strips gave it a little support in the middle. Might not be necessary depending on where you are and snow loads.
Is it ok to screw through those panels you use? Do you need to seal them? Also same comments as others re concrete and dpm on top to stop water from soaking up into wood frame. Guttering would help. Great vid though and would love to build my own.
We are going to put gutters on and collect the rain water. Yea we screwed through them straight into the perlins. They dont need to be sealed.
Do you have a cost breakdown for a build like this?
Very nice but what was the cost?
Was the paint for asthetics or for pest control ? If for pest can you explain ? Great job. I’m building a very similar one now. Just got the foundation poured today
The paint we used was non toxic milk paint with an outdoor additive (borax). We did it to save on lumber costs and help prolong the life of the pine and fir. Good luck. Exciting times ahead
@@TheNorthBranchWI are you using clear polycarbonate Twin wall panels for the roof and walls or just the roof ? The walls looked like clear single layer but wanted to verify ? I didn’t see both on your materials list. Thanks for the help.
Hi. I was wondering what type of plastic roofing and side panels are those?
We used twinall panels from Menards on the big greenhouse. The a-frame is corrugated poly.
I wish I had your soil! I have a lot of clay and it's a pain to dig anything by hand.
