Here is the video over at Garry and Margie's place
bigger greenhouse th-cam.com/video/F_UW0jiM9zo/w-d-xo.html
There's too many bosses and not enough worker's, lol
It's sure nice seeing Gary and Marge again. And that you're helping each other out with projects again. Nice job everyone. You have a beautiful store Marge and Gary.
Hello Sue
some tips, have someone inside the greenhouse with a pipe(with a rag or glove on the end) to poke the plastic when it sticks. If you are installing second layer for double polly put a fan or big leaf blower between the two layers as you pull it will make your life 1000X easier.
Doug, Stacy, Helping friends is true community. You two, Gary and Marge make the strength of ten. Mazeltov!👍. Regards Stephen.
Gary is so smart! The tennis ball trick is brilliant. How wonderful to have great friends that work together. I wish their store was closer, I will have to make a day trip sometime and bring my pocketbook!
I'm thinking of driving up there, too. I'm sure I can find something I need to support Gary and Marge.
Team work,makes the dream work
Yes, this year I've put a chicken coop (from Texas, a kit) in my backyard and next week my greenhouse will be here. It is coming from Arkansas and it is pre-built. Pretty excited. I'm creating a Potager in my backyard. I'm going to have six chickens ... I'm in a suburb in Kentucky. Love learning from you all. Gary and Marge's granddaughter is lovely and so sweet. Nice way for Paige to celebrate her birthday with grandparents and helping... They have such nice things in the shop!
Hello Gary and Marge we miss seeing you all! Love Doug and Stacey’s channel,I don’t comment much but I always give a 👍🇨🇦
Hello Jody
Precious Stacy is Miss Sunshine! God bless you two and all of your loved ones! Good to see Gary and Margie too!
Missed you guys! Glad you’re back! ❤️🙏🏻 It’s nice to see Gary and Marge too!
Hello Ruth
So nice to see you all working together I worked in a nursery for 14 years before I retired remember this job well but then we put shade cloth on so plants won’t fry
Hello Barb
Great video Doug and Stacy!🥰. I love how y’all all work together to achieve your goals!😁. I’ve been telling people to get greenhouses for many different reasons! To protect from the aerosol spraying going on and also many areas in the country are/will experience drought and therefore causing unwanted pests! And to also get there own water catchment system! It is Wonderful seeing you Gary and Marge!🥰. And your Granddaughter is a helper for sure!😁🥰. I love when one generation can teach and pass down Helpful Survival Skills and Good Morals!🥰. Many continued Blessings to y’all and all your followers!💖
Hi.... DOUG and STACY, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
Neighbors helping neighbors, friends helping friends, just like I remember it when I was a child. 😊
Everyone needs a greenhouse.
The bigger the better.
Even a hoophouse or small greenhouse, you should do it.
Wiggle wire to help keep plastic tight, longer lasting.
Hello Sandra
I love to see people come together and help each other
I use a brick tied to stout cord which is tied around a wad of the plastic-works great! I have only me to put the plastic over the framework
I love these videos when Doug gets all scientific. Great rolling commentary
Oh wow, so clever. Our polytunnel is 20 foot and need a new cover this year. There is just the two of us. I hope we can do it.
Hello Lynn
Wow, that's a lot of work to put up a temporary greenhouse. Thanks for showing all these steps. That is definitely a team effort! That was so cool that their grandaughter came to help with putting up the greenhouse on her birthday! Nice store! Thanks for this Doug and Stacy!
Hello Kathryn.
I’ve done this a few times. Here in central Oklahoma the constant wind is usually 20-40mph and it makes putting one of these up a bit**. I cut the plastic about 50% wider than I need and then anchor it on one side before pulling it over so that the wind doesn’t make it a sail. I use the excess plastic to wrap some old tires and then fill them with water. With this method I can pull up my 35x25 greenhouse by myself in around a half day.
I’ve never tried the tennis ball idea but I definitely will next time. Great video!
You all are a great team!! Your shop looks great! Have a great day.
Hello Lori
It was nice to see Marge and Gary again.
Good friends helping out,is always pleasant.
Thanks for sharing your fellowship.
Hello Debra
Resonating! We're sitting with the bottom half of a pallet greenhouse and two rolls of greenhouse plastic, ready to rumble. Watching for tips, thanks D&S!
Hey Doug hey Stacy thank you for the video it was nice to see Gary and Marge and the young and there too all of you together I like it and hopefully that plastic last 4 years to come
GREAT JOB YOU GUYS. GREAT TEAM WORK
It's so good to see Gary and Mars again working with Stacy and Doug.. I'd like to make a trip to Troy to see his little Mercantile store
Hello Wendy
Wow my husband and I were just wondering how to do this !! Thank you !!
Great job everybody! Team work makes the dream work. God Bless! Carmen
We use 2 different plastics for our 30x80 with roll down side. One plastic protects plants from uv so plants do better. We pull 2 up at once. We can also gain 3 years of life of plastic to re tighten plastic. Puts wiggle wire in different spots so it won’t tear.
Oh, my Friends, Thank uou for the memories!! I was co-owner of a family greenhouse business for 30 years. Not an easy job. We used Stuppy Greenhouses built for snow-belt regions. Wonderful company to work with. Our plastic went to the ground to attach on both sides, we didn't open or raise the sides. So many different types now.
I have enjoyed watching this today. Thank you for sharing! Blessings from West Virginia! 🌹
Hello Janet
That’s a big greenhouse.
God bless you and your family. 🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
I love Gary.
It's good to see Gary and Marge and of course Page too...
I love to see Gary and Marge too, they are both wonderful people. I wished I could buy something from them, but if I ever make it to Troy I will sure visit them.
Did you ever look at artic acres greenhouse domes? They have no plastic so no repeat building every year. Their green houses look amazing and are supposed to work year round.
I just love watching your videos. Very informative
I love you guys. ♥️ You are always serving and sharing what you have learned with your viewers. Thank you for always taking us along where ever you go and what ever the projects maybe for the day. You are such a learning tool for us viewers.
We try ❤
Gary you the man
Is the store open on Sunday Afternooons
We will be open on Sundays till Mother's day. After that, we will be closed on Sundays
Hello Patty
@@gcockrum1 we will try to get up there by then
Oh my gosh I'm so excited for you guys!
I was watching a video the other day about Amish people and you popped up in this guy's video and I sent him a message that you were not Amish you are Doug From Doug and Stacy's TH-cam channel he has not gotten back in touch with me yet🤣🤣🤣
So nice to see you two helping Gary and Marge with their new greenhouse. I love watching the interaction between the four of you. By the way, can you tell me when the Fermenting Books will be ready to ship. I placed my order last June 19th and I'm still waiting.
Lol yea Stacy is turning it in this month
Hello Mary
Awesome idea on the tennis balls! We could use that 100 ways! Glad to see the help your families give to each other.
Hello Lynn
Well welcome back Gary :)
Great video, Doug.
Teamwork! That tennis ball trick will come in handy
Yeah!! Gary and Marge. I been missing you guys. Good to see ya.
Yes we had one we put up that was 30x60 fully automatic
Hello to Gary, haven’t seen him lately. Interesting info on greenhouses.
Hello Susan
So happy to see Marjorie and Gary !!
Nice hand moves just before the end young lady!
Team work!
NEXT TIME - put one person inside with a leaf blower to blow air under the plastic as it crosses framing members. That lets the sheet float on a bed of air and prevents snags and tears plus, it's fast and fun!
Brilliant idea!
My dream is to have a green house. Maybe someday. Great idea with the tennis balls. Ty for thr great tip.
Great information wishing I could have a greenhouse maybe someday
Good friends help each other. Just an observation: Doug, the ladder you were using was not secured or open all the way. I was worried, but then you survived to post the video ;-) so I relaxed. Please take care. I can't stand to see you get hurt.
Question for Stacy: when making probiotic lemonade, can I use a pure whey protein powder instead of whole fat yogurt whey?
I live close the Mercantile here in Troy. So awesome helping friends!
Hello Mary
That tennis ball trick is genius!! Rope break! Hahaha well done guys thanks for sharing. I always wondered how they did this
Good to see Gary again!
Gary your the Man 😉🤣 fantastic
Hello Nana
We done one in Ireland , not as high ,but burries one side in under the soil,then brought the other end over got it right an burries that in soil too, pulled the front and back then wrapped in timbers for frame of doors an got all tight .
Thanks for this fun cool positive video.
Doug that's the smart end of the tape, you never get blamed if it's the wrong measurement!!! ✌
Hi ya'll from Barb.from Newport Tennessee
I've shopped at THAT store because I live in Troy MO.
Hey guys. Good morning again haha
Ya'll work good together 👍🥰😁
Well, right now Nebraska dirt is headed toward Kansas! We've got 40 mph winds . . . that plastic would become a hang-glider in a moment if we tried covering anything!
Hello Julia
I remember that old video! For some reason the only thing i remember was the metal squiggles.
Hello Gary and Margie, long time.
Hello Doris
Awesome greenhouse..
Hello from Detroit Michigan USA Great video Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and
What Mil of plastic is being used (or best used for a typical greenhouse/high-tunnel? (Or is it specific plastic?) Great Video D&S! 😊👍
Use 6 mil uv treated.
Great trick! Thank you!
Great job guys!
I’m thinking, if you get a roll up side one, you can frame in some screens on the sides for pest control as well. Then you have a safe place to grow squash.
That was a large greenhouse!
Good tips. Thank you
Thank you for sharing 🙂
Hey Doug I have a 24x40 Zimmerman Welding frame that needs two sheets. Your more than welcome to come to Indiana and help.
Let us know if and when Gary and Marge decide to ship. I bet I'm not the only one that would love to support them when purchasing what we need or want.
I could live one. Good job.
Their new location is nice. Much nicer than their last location. It’s easier to get to now.
Great job
I think having a greenhouse would be awesome not sure if I can handle it but on a sidenote My sweet potato has rooted like crazy and now I finally have a sprout northern Indiana a little slow but I think we’ll get there I might plant some sweet potatoes this year I’m hopeful
Awesome 💝👍💝
You can see Gary's face he's hoping Doug don't start acting up again LOL
Love ya Gazza
Wich kind of plastic do you use? It will be my first experience of jardiner! 😀 I have to buy plastic for a 12' X 10' structure, it's an ancien tempo tent (for car in the winter, but the plastic is no good anymore). I am in Québec Canada if someone have a reference for me, it would be SO GREAT and i would be very greatful! 💞🌷🌱💐
Thank you very much Stacy and husband for all you marvelous videos! I learn a lot with you! ♥️
Wow! Confirms the theory: More hands less work! I think we'll go a tad smaller! Grin
Wait…is that the Mercantile in Troy? Love that place!
Well if I’d waited till the end of the video I would have my question answered! 🤷🏼♂️ Very cool store!
I made a small green house it was gooder until the 70 mile an hour wind came and blow it into three yards down.. Lol
Oh dear!
Those winds are "Trade Winds" - you trade stuff with your neighbours!
@@tonygrimes13 lol oh kinda like bartering... 😆 Yeah well someone got some nice plastic
good work
i resheeted mine last year
14x22
Love the greenhouse! Can you tell me what mil plastic that is?
I have a question not related to this video but needed to ask. Can you tell me where you buy wheat berries?
WOW, just what I needed right now - my old cover is in tatters. I have the new plastic (what was the mm of the plastic you used?) and am ready to go.
6 Mil You need to use greenhouse poly film. The stuff you get at a hardware store does not have a UV blocker and it will only last about a year.
Hello Martha
@@gcockrum1 Saved me - TY
Looks like a nice greenhouse but unfortunately I don't think it ever worked at my place the winds get too rough.
Hello Pam
I think Glass is a better long term Idea. I have seen so many green houses that have plastic flopping in the wind, Enid, Oklahoma, glass I know is more expensive but so is Lexan.
You don't have wind, you have F1 breezes. 😄
I worked for a greenhouse/stand-off shelter manufacturer for a number of years. Our plastic was sold with a 5 year pro rata warranty and could be expected to last 10 years. Spoke with one customer with his house on a very high wind site whose skin had been up for 11 and it was still ok but was thinking he might have to replace it "before long"; he'd popped in to our office to check on prices. As you say - glass is expensive, lasts a long time but is fragile; plastic ages with UV and WILL have to be replaced, but is easy to patch if punctured - also, in the first year or two will need re-tensioning as summer heat causes stretching to the film, and this can cost too. Also, the plastic was sensitive to various horticultural sprays, specially copper, which could dramatically reduce the lifespan of the film (and tests on failed film could easily reveal the use of said spray/s - meaning no warranty claim). So the customer must weigh the costs and consider preferences (dumping a LOT of plastic every 10 years? Flying stones from mowing tasks?) before construction of the framework.
Nice vid!! Corky
