I ran across this channel a few days ago an im finding it very helpful. I'm a retired 65 single female I'm getting into homesteading. This channel is helpful in doing things on a budget an simply. Thank you an much success ❤
So happy it’s been helpful to you! Hope to continue providing more useful content to you in the future! Thank you for watching!
You are so right about Kentucky weather. I’m a Kentucky girl.
It’s all over the place.😂
Quiktent sold out. No idea when it will be sold again. Glad it’s working out for you! Thanks for the review and showing the upgrade you did!!!
Thanks for watching Jane! Hope the review helped! Looks like they are available in another listing on Amazon here’s the link. a.co/d/34fxGUa
You could put a screw thru the conduit and into the wood. I'm glad you are posting this as I'm going to buy this or something like it for wi. I'm sure we will get slot more snow with a real winter. Can get 12" in a storm at times
Yeah I thought of that not long after I made the video.🤦♂😂
Much more simple than putting on a strap. Thanks for watching Bryan we appreciate the support and glad you were able to get some ideas from our video for your own set up!
I like the idea of the strap so it doesn't compromise the conduit. Also makes it easier to take down and move to a new homestead if needed.
Kentucky here too
Weathers crazy right?😂
Some people complain about it but I enjoy the surprise warm days in the middle of winter. Better than bitter cold every single day for months.🥶
@@easyworkacres thats for sure but not to bad out right now. It's good working weather this afternoon.
Definitely! Been out chopping wood and chasing kids around all day!
I actually just bought one. I wanted 15 ft but really like your review and also wanted something without the name vevor on it. Coming in 5-10 days. Need to shovel out 1-2 ft of snow now.
Thanks for watching and good luck to you! I’m also gonna add some rebar stakes or something to this build to secure it totally but still able to move it down the road. We had some crazy strong wind yesterday 50+ mph and it held strong but still had me nervous so I’m going to stake it more for peace of mind.😅
@@easyworkacres mine will be 5 ft off the house and I Have a fence on an adjoining side. This all sits in a normal sized backyard with woods behind. I don't think I'll have much issue with wind but will strap it down. I also think I'll be moving mine to another area once gardening starts. Chickens all winter til probably may.
Hello, We moved to KY last summer. That Christmas storm was crazy, lots of my chickens got frost bite and one hen's mouth froze open. I brought her inside to warm up but she lost the will to live and died a couple days later. I would love to get a green house going for them because I feel so bad when it rains they stay in their coop and cant get out to sctach around in the dirt.
Sorry to hear about the loss! Never fun trying to save a hen and still lose her.😔
The greenhouse has been a great solution to both the cold and them having the ability to still scratch around so far. Thank you for watching Emily!
nice place bro.✌
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I have been considering a greenhouse like this one as well. Was wondering how it would handle the weather. Based on your weather, I wager you're not too far from us. We make all the same jokes about the weather where we are in Tennessee. The wind is brutal. Glad to see it held up.
Yes, I feel like we have more windy days than not. 😅
We are pretty happy with its durability so far. We would like to use it for a couple different things. So who knows how many more ways we will end up modifying it to fit our needs.😂
Thank you for watching!
@@easyworkacres Absolutely! We were looking at it for winter housing and probably plant starts. I wish I had one before that winter blast. I had to visit them multiple times a day to add water.
Best of luck on your progress. Looks like you guys started farming much like we did. I agree on getting more young people into farming. It's a dying profession.
I have been using this greenhouse for my plants in Texas and with the low temperatures my plants got frozen. Make sure you buy a heater as well. And when it rains the water gets condensed inside the green house and keeps the plants humid inside, the chicken doesn’t like to be wet. I suggest you to build a wooden part so they could keep warm and dry. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Ivis. We keep windows open to prevent the humidity issue for our chickens and so that it gets fresh air since there is composting wood chips and chicken poop inside with them. They seem to handle temps in the 20s on a regular basis pretty well inside the coop without a heater. They have been in this coop for about 3 months now with no issues other than needing to stake it down a little better from the wind getting so crazy here lately! Ive seen people double layer plastic on these greenhouses for added warmth to prevent plants freezing. You might be able to get by doing that without having to buy a heater.
Thanks
Thank you!
Got my 12x7x7. Its vastly different than yours. Its frame is painted white, maybe 3\4" or but probably smaller. It was all push lock pins to join similar to a pop up canopy. My windows only have partial Velcro so wind\colder air comes in much easier. Canopy seems like nice quality. Hard to stake it Down right now so I laid a few wraps of garden hose over it and shoveled snow inside and outside the base about 1'. Chickens are in and out of the wind now. It does get about 20 degrees warmer in the sun. Wish the frame was conduit like yours I think but it was put together solo in like an hour.
Yeah, different brands are all slightly different I looked at quite a few different houses before deciding on the one we have. You could probably still make similar modifications to make yours stronger even with the lighter duty frame once the snow melts. Hope it continues serving you well through the winter, and thank you for watching the video!
@Easy Work Acres it's the same brand. I'm sure it's just because it's smaller tent but it's real sloppy too. I will have to add the wood or pvc frame for sure.
If you are close enough to me i would be interested in helping with butchering the chickens so I can learn. That's why I asked what county.
Woody Harrelson? Like the review. You definitely have a good setup. I’m never 100 about ordering from Amazon.
Get it all the time.😂
Thank you, it’s still holding up strong and look forward to doing some different things with the greenhouse throughout the year!
that's why he looks so familiar!
hello, my niece and nephew just ordered 3. they lost 2 coops in the cat 5 that hit west central fl. It is FL so they ordered the one where the sides come completely up and full mesh doors. They are planning to make chicken tractors out them. I told them your way.
*sent them
Sorry to hear that. It sucks to take a loss on stuff you’re trying to use for sustainability. I hope that they have better luck in the future and maybe they can get some ideas from our video. Thank you for watching we appreciate your support!
What county in Kentucky? Union here
Looking to start a youtube channel soon. I'm from Kentucky as well.
You should go for it! Good luck to you, and thank you for watching Steven!
Good video but felt a little claustrophobic with the camera on selfie, would have liked to see more of the project but still great content
Thanks for watching. There is a video of the entire project being built step by step on our channel if you want to check it out. This was just a follow up of how it held up.
This is beautiful! How many feet? thank you
This is a 10ftx 20ft greenhouse.
Any critters got in? How are you keeping the raccoons out
Never had issue with predators in the greenhouse coop. It’s surrounded by electric poultry netting which helps with predators but we also have dogs that do a pretty good job at keeping things away.
Does it get too hot in the summer at night closed?
During the summer it would for sure get to hot to close up. Keeping all the windows open may help, but not completely sure. We’ve had our hens back in their mobile coop since spring.

Here’s the modifications I did for mine.
Great mods!
wow. i guess the greenhouses are so dirty cheap they can be used for anything.
Pretty much. I do think they need to be modified like we have done in order for it to truly last. Otherwise your looking at a giant umbrella ready to blow away in the wind haha. We've had it up for a little over 2 months now and its holding up well still with 50 chickens inside. Did end up staking the corners down before a big wind storm hit and it held strong!
