Oh heck yeah ROBBIE. We want 1 and my nephew next door wants 1 for chickens. We Love it.❤😊 Thank you ROBBIE ❤
That's exactly what I thought of. Great mines think alike. 😊
Very true! That would be Perfect ❤
@@Katina229 I thought I would have used 1 for a play house. Lol I gotta find out where she got it.
Oh I'm sorry she said Walmart @@Katina229
Be ready to replace the plastic shade top. They last only one year. I have used something similar for my chickens and have one where one side is up against my house which doubled its length for a cat enclosure and a cat door in a window for my cats to get some sun and air. Chicken wire for a top. I am in the process of trying to enclose an old car tunnel after the top cover fell apart for a shade room for my seedlings and plants for this coming low desert summer.
Super idea, Robbie!👍 A few years ago, I had my hubby make a large PVC cube. He put sand in the vertical tubes to add weight. It's never blown over or away. I cover it with insect netting so I can grow zucchini and other squash that get attacked by the Vine Bore Moth and squash bugs. I slso use use it to grow Christmas potatoes...I put a sheet of plastic over it when the temp falls below 43 and fall the potato plants continue to grow.
My protective cube might be a choice for someone who can't afford that cool kennel garden.🙂
Robbie, thanks for another great idea!💕
That’s a great idea!!! We use pvc tubing for many things and I never thought to put sand in to give it the weight. Thanks for sharing!
@@chericurtis134 🙂
That thing is handy! You could line the sides with cinder block and put the containers on them. You could also line the floor with chicken wire so nothing can burrow underneath.
There are so many possibilities!
Thanks. great idea
Wow. Your video showed up and you solved a problem I've been having for years. My hubby started feeding stray kittens outside and as time passes the 10 cats stomp on everything I tried to grow.They layed down on my potted sugar peas killing them. Now I can garden again!!! At only 6 feet tall I dont need HOA approval because it cant be seen over my fence. This is a great sturdy solution for me. Thanks for posting
I am so happy for you, now, your husband can feed the cats and you can garden. Let me know how all this goes. Happy gardening, and happy new year. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
I love this as a green house for starting seeds
A green house 🏠 is a 👍 great idea 😅 !!!!
I was thinking the same thing. I have 6 ml thick greenhouse plastic. hmmmm
This would be perfect for that ❤
@@kenbrown438yes ❤
@@marykerr4381perfect ❤
This is a brilliant idea both to finally keep the rats away or as a greenhouse for seed starting.
Rats can probably find their way in. And mice. Sorry.
@@emac1177 yes. I'd definitely have to add the wire mesh she mentioned to really keep the rats out. Big problem here in Dallas area
Woohoo 🎉 you've done it again. I have a dog run that is a couple of years old that I'm not using. It doesn't have a roof like yours but I'm thinking I could use irrigation tubing to make one and cover it with something even shade cloth. My biggest problem in the garden are rabbits, mice, squirrels and birds. You've got my ideas turning on my head and I'm excited to follow you and set up my own dog run. Thanks 👍❤
I had 1 for chickens, if that is the intended use, putting hardware cloth or chicken wire on the top is a necessity. Too many night predators climb and go through the top. I found out the worst way. Also, some chicken wire or something at least 3 feet up around it. If you only have a few chickens, it works well. I am speaking from experience. I do hope this helps?
What an awesome idea for my dwarf citrus....shade cloth in summer and closed in for the winter...would work here in south central Texas. Thank you so much for this grand idea!! 😃
Have a terrible Norway rats issue. They are very intelligent. Got in under house crawl space destroyed the attic insulation. Going to cost a pretty penny to fix the damage. It is a health hazard according to the pest control company. I guess we will have to do it. Never had a rat issue during my whole life (77). It’s a big expensive learning curve. I just could cry about this. Just have to pay what it costs. Ugh. Can rats get in totes on chairs don’t want to feed them. Maybe dog kennel would work for us. Thanks for your gardening advise.
Praying, hoping 2024 will be a good year for us. I do believe in growing a garden is right thing to do with health and cost issues we all face. Keep on finding ways to help the elder gardener. God help us all.
I’d be concerned about strong wind taking it for an adventure. I’d probably have to attach it to some star pickets and tie it down. Good idea though, lots of ways to tweak it for many situations👍.
Love it, Robbie! Lettuce is also my favorite to grow!
Congratulations on 300K subscribers!

Thank you Amy.
To prevent animals digging under you could lay chicken wire on the ground underneath. Fasten it down with tent stakes. 🌱🌿
I have this for my garden to keep the squirrels out. I had one in 2022 and purchased 2 more this year and attached all 3 and I love it! I call it my grow cage. I covered the top with chicken wire and lined the sides with deer wire. I grew tomatoes and peppers in grow bags on pavers down the sides and left the middle open. Best investment I’ve made. I don’t regret it.
I have rabbits that jump up in my raised beds! We never imagined that they would jump that high. They like digging in and putting their nests in the raised beds. I will definitely be watching for these being sold by individuals at lower cost! Great idea Robbie!! I am currently looking to put something around my six blueberry bushes and adding tulle to keep out the Japanese beetles.
I’m also gonna get some chickens this next spring. So many great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!
I love it ! Perfect to keep the possums and raccoons and our dogs out or from peeing on our plants !
Thanks.
I could put it in my basement in the winter with grow lights. I've seen people in Georgia and Alabama bring alot of their plants in during cold weather.
I would think you would only need shelves for your basement. This is to help keep animals out of the garden.
This is such a great idea!! Thank you for sharing. I am now in the market for one. Lol. My imagination is running wild and this thing could be beautiful!!! Yet very functional. I love it!!!! ~Sammie
I would like to grow native plants in pots and then keep out parasitic wasps so endangered caterpillars came become butterflies like Monarchs. But it would need fine cloth all around it. Great place to cold stratify native plant seeds without worry that animals will dig in soil and pots.
I took your video and ran to Lowe's to see what I could find to remedy my nightmare pigeon/dove problems while feeding the songbirds here in Las Vegas, NV. Purchased 5 fence panels with 2"x4" openings to make a 3' x 3' square and placed the 5th panel on top to form a cage. I hung the bird feeder from the center and now my little guys can eat in peace without large birds (including hawks) or animals bothering them. Wish I could insert a picture. I can move it anywhere and may add some plastic or tarp to protect against the cold in winter and sun in the summer for tender plants.
I like the way you bounced ideas around. Awesome video!
Glad you like them! Thanks.
I have 2 lg (70lb) dogs, the younger one we adopted as a companion to our older dog... she taught him how to dig, ugh!! We built raised beds but... the younger dog (Blossom) jumps on/into them! She moves the wood from the wood pile to "her spot" on the lawn (you get the idea) so I think your idea is AWESOME!! I'd like to have chickens but I think that's for after the obedience training! I am... ever hopeful!
What great idea! It can be enclosed with the clear or green greenhouse tarps for the winter months also. It might also be good to stake it down somehow in windy areas. This is a wonderful idea. And ao much less than an actual greenhouse. Thanks Robbie!
I love this! Maybe I can use this for a greenhouse and for starting seeds in the spring! Thank you so much!
Absolutely!
This is very exciting and cool! Thank you for sharing!!!
Our pleasure! Thank you 😊
This is really a great idea. My issue is rats. I put a trail camera out to see what was eating my tender veggies as they came up and yup, it was rats. The tulle has helped a lot keeping them away from peppers and tomatoes. But I haven't put tempting veggies in the garden with tulle to see if i will deter the rats.
I anchor mine with two cinder blocks together and the binding that holds hay bales together. Tie it through the opening in the cinder blocks and tie the frame down on each corner. Works very well for me. Use any nylon cord
We have one very similar. Trust me squirrels CAN get in there. I was sitting outside and a squirrel just started crawling right up the side. My husband made a concrete pad and made a roof (A frame, for the snow). He also bolted it to the concrete. I’m definitely going to use it for some type of gardening project. I’m thinking of putting aluminum or something the rodents can’t get through or grab onto, along the bottom about 2/3 feet up. Currently we’re using it for our daughter’s pups, when we’re all outside.
You bring us the best. Looks like something I could assemble myself. And, if I wanted to I could drive rebar and tie it down for added security.
Yes you could ❤️😊 Thanks
That's really nice Robbie 🥰
Wow what a great idea. My yard is not that big to put that size Kenal. Thank you Robbie.
I can see so many applications for a small grow-house like this. I have found several plant stands and ass't wire shelf units left over from yard sales and carried them home for free - you could outfit this little house with all sorts of things, and even hang a few very lightweight baskets from the center. I have lots of small critters in my area, but have finally just started growing things they don't eat; I mostly grow blackberries and pollinator-attracting flowers anymore. I can see using this as a shade house in summer and a greenhouse in winter, so it could be VERY useful year round. Also, adding another unit to the back or one side if you need more space would be relatively simple to do.
A place for my grow bags (on stands) I would surround it with chicken wire! Great idea! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
I like this for a small greenhouse. I could attach fiberglass panels on the sides and roof. I need a place to put some frost tender patio plants in the Fall and Winter. Also to use when hardening off seedlings. I don't need a huge greenhouse, this size is perfect
What a wonderful idea! I can’t wait to see you start. I love all of your ideas. For me it’s the trees and bugs. Way too many trees and the debris falls into my pots (weeds) and the bugs especially the huge grasshoppers. I think I’m going to look into this. I already cover my plants with tulle to try and keep the bugs out. Tfs. Have a wonderful day.
I love this idea. I have one of these and it will work well for providing shade for my totes. I had vegies in them this summer and they burned up. I am in Roswell NM , dry and hot and anything not in shade burns to a crisp. So thank you for this wonderful Idea.
Great idea! Thanks!
I would make it higher. Maybe 3 high cinder blocks filled with concrete and use carriage bolts to bolt down the blocks through the metal somehow. Makes it harder to lift up and safe from the wind. For the roof put up clear plastic polycarbonate. I would get a lock and lock it every night from thieves from stealing the veg. 😂
It might sound too over the top with the lock but it’s a common occurrence. Just sayin.
I have 2 One which is actually a dog kennel, and the panels are 5 by 8 out of 2x4 welded wire. The only thing is they do not keep out rats, mice, and birds. I have one which I built around my fig tree and blueberry bush because everything was eating my figs. That one's out of PVC pipe and I covered it with poultry netting the little birds, little rats, and mice. We're walking straight through the poultry netting. But it kept the big eaters out. I did purchase several rolls of hardware cloth; I just do not have it covered yet.
Robbie, actually you won't need the 2 ends on both if you connect to one another. Therefore, you can make it 4ft longer yet.
Wish I was younger. I’d have one for chickens and one for Vegetables.
Could you buy additional kits and make it longer?! 😃. Oh! I’m back ‘cause you’ve just said yes! Wow!
I think inwould hang strawberries in a gutter around it and as it is watered the runoffnwould drip into lettuce or even perhaps grow grape vine?
I like that ❤️ Thanks 😊
Fantastic idea! I’m looking online now to buy one.❤
I have a 16/16/7 ft coming .I have 10 greenstocks and the deer are moving .I rent and no fencing around the home, on the county line ,and wooding area in back of home 😢. I have my full, wire mesh, chicken wire If needed. Remember friend we will eat what we grow 😅. Ho my door is 6ft.😮
Where did you get ur 16x16x7???
Green house -- Ray Delbury Sussex County NJ USA
Nice video
Im thinking lots of 6 mil plastic and one can use it as a hot house to overwinter peppers and Cold sensitive stuff!!!❤❤❤
Could you buy additional kits and make it longer?! 😃
I get over run with insects.....I'm thinking to put mesh wire around it. I keep tearing the tulle. But I have to think of pollinators as well?
Pollinators are only needed for certain vegetable plants, and I don’t know what you’re growing, but you may not need the pollinators for all your plants
I use the back of a cheap vibrating toothbrush to self pollinate my tomato blossoms. I can see the pollen puff out and it seems to work on my indoor garden. Just vibrate the blossom gently, not with the brush side. I also grew bell peppers without pollinators.
❤
Seems like the tarp is unnecessary. Rain and sunlight can’t get to the plants very well.
Hi Robbie. How about putting it around your pond to keep the raccoons out?
Never mind. I just heard at the end that you had already thought of the pond. Good idea 💡
Maybe one day 😊 Thanks ❤
With it being light weight, I wonder if areas with occasional strong winds will need a way to weigh it down. I know wind gust has been an issue with the small pop-up green house that some are getting from Amazon.
I love this idea. Think I’ll get one. You got me excited. ❤
I love this, now deer in my food and I will be keeping out the squirrels 😊 Thanks
What I don’t understand is how you ever manage to sleep! Your mind has been going a mile a minute all the time. Thanks for another wonderful creative idea. I would love to have a couple of chickens and that would work but my husband doesn’t want any.
I know ROBBIE is blessed by GOD.
Love this idea 👍👩🌾 I think will check it around, thanks Robbie 👍 have a nice and safe New Year 🙏🏻♥️👩🌾
How is the unit anchored to the ground in case of high winds and storms? The wind might catch the tarp and perhaps the entire thing would blow over. ALSO...why not just cover the top with shade cloth to allow more sun in? Isn't the "angle of light" restricted? Thanks Robbie, we lover your enthusiasm and all you share! (Gary too!)
Brilliant idea. Robbie! So many uses for this its mind boggling.
For those living in windy areas do this. Use cinderblocks all around making a foundation. Fill in blocks with cement with rebar pounded into the ground and up to the height of cage. Then aggressively wire or attach somehow the metal frame to the rebar. So the rebar is in the ground and cinderblock and attached to the wire frame. Will have to make an extension to the bottom of the door unless you don’t mind stepping over cinder block. That’s a more permemt solution. But it’s a great idea to test out different ways of setting it up.
For myself, I would wrap it up in Tulle maybe 1/2 way up to keep the critters out. So many options! Thanks again. Good Job! 👍🏻♥️
Unfortunately that material rots fast in the hot low desert. Shade cloth works better
That kennel is great! It looks way sturdier than the greenhouses I’ve seen and I love how easy it is to put together. I have lots of ideas on how I can use it and I can’t wait to see all of your ideas! Thank you and Happy New Year!
Robbie I love your ideas you give us a place to give imagination to enhance our gardens. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
I agree!!
I love mine. I put it up against my house, cut a small hole in it. put in a kitty door in the closet and a ramp going out to it. I put her litter box on a shelf I built. I also put a cat tree in there. We live in a very mountainous area where we have a lot of wildlife. My cat and little dog can go outside and be very safe. I’ve had mine out in snowy and hot weather for 5 years. The top is still perfect. Great idea to use it as a greenhouse too.
Awesome idea. I was going to ask how are going to keep the cats and rodents out .But you answered my question. I am glad i found your channel. God Bless You and you family.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Arthur.
I AM curious about The tarp blocking The sunshine .
Just change it for clear plastic
Like Peggy said it can be quickly changed to a clear plastic but,
Since it’s in the sunniest part of my yard, I might leave it should work perfect for the spring and hot summer 😊
Great idea! We've got an old dog run that we could easily pull out into the sun and make a green house out of. Thank you, Robbie!
Very good idea. Not feasible for me because I'm in a windy area. But I can easily visualize growing veggies in it. Use it as a cold frame greenhouse. It's easy to wrap it in clear plastic and voilà. But that's an option to keep in mind for summer. Again, easy to wrap it in shade cloth.
We're windy here in North Texas, too. I think I'd have to tie it to stakes all the way around to keep it from blowing away.
Great video / idea Robbie (a.k.a. Mother Nature). You think about everybodies gardening issues don't you ! 💜
My major problems are Rabbits, cows reaching over fences and pushing them down and my fox (pet) that jumps over my pot plants and knocks off branches. (Slugs - they're everywhere, they've been extremely bad for the last five years.)
I was thinking if you got a second one, you could put them side by side (with a gap in-between) and move the two walls that are closest to each other, extend them towards each other and turn the two into one large one, that's eight panels in length by four panels wide. I hope that makes sense. You would just need some chook wire for the (middle extension) roof and two pieces of pipe to hold up the centre beams.
I can see yours with three layers of growth. The first layer in the ground, and the second and third layer built up with bricks and planks of wood, just like the little shelf your standing next to in the last shot of this video.
You could also hang light plants from the centre beam and around the outside, like you said.
You could hang (capped off) rain guttering, around the top, on the outside, for more plants or birds.
I'd love to see it with solar fairy lights on it.
( l'm hoping this all makes sense.)
Much love from OZ, to you and Gary. 👍🌿💜🇦🇺
I love it for fresh lettuce. I buy at the store seems like it goes bad so quickly. I can grow fresh lettuce.
Gees Gary didn't even look at the instructions haha 😂
Gees Gary didn't even look at the instructions haha 😂
This is a great idea, I have one that I’m going to use for gardening this year
Oh, how wonderful, let me know how it goes. Happy gardening, and happy new year.❤️❤️❤️
Love it❤❤❤. Have deer coming up to the back door 😢. Thank you 😊.
Happy New Year ❤😊
Thanks. You are so welcome
Happy new year to you Ginny.
Would love to see it with four sides all the way round so that it would be as wide ad it is long.
We have a dog at home that would climb that an get out.
He is an unbelievable climber. 😂😂
squirrels are an issue for me.
I just saw one on FB Marketplace for $150, and thought of making it into a greenhouse with clear plastic.
Sounds great 😊
Brilliant for sure!
Thanks.
I have a problem with Odie getting into my tomato plants. He stripped all my brandywine tomatoes. Grrr. I have a section of my garden gated but this might be what I need in another part of my yard. Thanks Robbie!
I'm thinking it's a good skeleton for a small greenhouse/shade house.
Yes 😊❤️
Hi Robbie and Gary thanks for all the Gardening tips for 2023.
Wish u a very happy 2024
Gees Gary didn't even look at the instructions haha 😂
Yes that's kind of typical.😄 It's very simple to put together so he didn't think it was necessary.
fabulous idea!!!!!!!!!!
That is a nice kennel, and it is great for many things, but chickens maybe not. It is NOT snake proof if you have chickens. We have lots of snakes around here, and it is difficult to keep snakes out of the chicken coops. Tractor Supply Store has those here, but they are way more expensive with them.
This is a great idea, thank you Robbie and Gary.
Thanks. No worries
Gees Gary didn't even look at the instructions haha 😂
Just to let you know that rabbits 🐇 will probably fit through the mesh. They can get through my chain link fence I installed around my garden… $1;500 later, I have to modify my garden next year. 🙃
Wow... cool... Thanks Gary for showing us... I'm a visual person
Thanks, will do.
Can those white butterflies get into the structure
That’s a great idea! I think I might make it a greenhouse
Thanks. Go for it!
What a great idea!!!👍👍
Incidentally I have been thinking of using dog kennels as deterrence houses (squirrels) in my garden 😂
I have lots of ideas. I just bought fruit trees that are sensitive to cold and I'm in Maryland zone 7b. I can elevate it on concrete blocks to make it a taller greenhouse.
So smart! ❤
We have a similar set up attached to our coop...thrice the size...that we use during the day as a chicken run. I have critter issues every night, so I should be using mine for plants too! Duh. Why didnt i think of that before? Ill be looking forward to seeing you grow in yours and look for ideas for mine that will work with my chickens.
It would be great especially for chickens to keep the hawks from grabbing chickens from the air.
This is so nice not too big for a small yard.
I haven't even watched this yet, but that is so cool.
Thanks.
Fantastic Garden Solution!
Thank you!
I want to see it , when its a green house. Thanks robbie
We will see what I do with it 😊
Keep your more delicate or “risky” plants on the inside, then line the whole outside with the chair totes. That’s be a lotta food in a very small footprint!👍 Love it!!
Thank you
You are so welcome
❤️
