fantastic job. I build this almost exactly same here in US as a hobby business. Robin McGregor was my inspiration and helped me learn the craft via zoom and videos. You did a fantastic job on this.
@@ironian24 many thanks. I’ve had great fun filming with Roger. It’s a bit out of my usual comfort zone but it’s getting easier. Will have a good video coming out soon. I’ll check out your Instagram account. 🙌
working around the yard with family is what i live for and its tough to be stuck in apartment alone in the snowy winter, i really hate climate of my country or at least cold half, summers here are beautiful. Great video, brings a lot of joy
Thank you, it was a labour of love and it is seeing its first autumn and looking great with no movement that I can tell or see so a testament of a good design and build, still loving it and enjoying a cuppa in there 😀
Your greenhouse is absolutely NEXT LEVEL! Thanks for patiently showing the build process! This is top notch craftsmanship all the way and you have reliable friends to carry you through!! I don't think I have heard a mention of total costs BTW. Can you please provide this...or an estimate? Thank you!
Thx for the comment, much appreciated, the cost without the labour was £7900.00 total with all the hardware, wood, bricks, cement, sand, glass and fixings. If labour was added you would be looking at another £7000.00 on top of that.
😂 I don't think I did lay my bricks upside down,it's always frog up in the UK. Not sure where you come. Maybe your from Australia where things look upside down being on the opposite side of the world 😂.
I think this is the most beautiful DIY greenhouse build on TH-cam. Kudos to your efforts! I wish to build my own this fall, I will take a lot of inspiration from your video, thank you.
OMG I love this greenhouse...............I got a normal greeenhouse with a green shade cloth over it which is awesome................. BUT.............. yours looks awesome..........
it depends on garden, where you are, how far in from borders you are, different areas have dfferent rules, you will need to check with your local Council planning.
Thank you Jane much appreciated. We are making another greenhouse at the moment and made a more indepth video on how I designed amd made it, coming soon.
Beautiful! I’d die a happy man if I had a greenhouse like that. I’ve wanted one since I was a kid. I have one now but I need to cover it with something more permanent than the thin plastic I’ve been replacing every year. I need to use a greenhouse all year. I need backup heat too so I don’t lose everything if the power goes out. Greetings from Yacolt Washington. Good work!
Thank you very much, it has been a god send having our greenhouse. This is the second year coming up, we love it, and all the produce that it helps produce, this is the start of April and we started most of our veg in January 11th and we have lots of lovely plants in great health.
With the detailed steps, I’m shocked you did not include rafter cuts, glass install steps, the small details that help make a difference to us. Gorgeous greenhouse.
To be fair I had enough to think about building it latalone thinking of making a video. I am sure carpenters and joiners would get the jist of what I was doing, I would not suggest anyone could make this, you need a lot of tools and machinery and a workshop as well as experience. To be honest the video was more a second thought over the build. And I am surprised the video is doing so well. I appreciate the feedback back and appreciate the views and comments this has had, I really enjoyed making this one.
Thank you, it was made using hole saws after making a template then a bobbin sander to sand the marks out that the hole saw left then for the spikes I used the chop saw at an angle
great to see what you and your son have achieved, by the way my next video ison a gimbal that would have helped you with the hand held stuff, enjoy the grapes and chilies when they are ready
Thank Tom, I had little time to make a video so setting up everything everything I wanted to video was a real pain so the phone was the easiest option and quickest.
Thx buddy, you won't get that at erik bates 😂, I have my first order for a bigger one, looking forward to that one next year, well the rain has tested the integrity of the building and it passes with flying colours 👍
Been following your greenhouse build for several years now as we were first planning and now at the end stages of building our own. We are about to start building your exact cresting and the finial. Would you be so kind as to tell us the height and width of the finial and also how tall the points on the cresting is and the width. Many Thanks for being our inspiration, Merry Christmas. ❤
I absolutely love your greenhouse, and the garden, raised beds etc all looks so good! Well done guys and I hope you get some good yield from the plants 🌱 🙌 thanks so much
Hi Greetings from Ireland! What a beautiful job you did! A true craftsman! Did you work to a set of plans? And where did you acquire them ? It looks absolutely amazing! Well done!
Wonderful work! How is the wooden frame attached to the brick wall below? And what material is the top made out of? Also what type of wood did you use? Sorry for the many questions 😂
@daytodaylivin4418 thx for the comment, The wooden frame just beds down on a layer of cement. This ensures levels are correct. You could use wall brackets, but I never did. The wood is simply pine and treated pine, the roof is jointed and bird mouthed to prevent movement or spreading when weight is applied like glass. It is pretty much in it's forth year and still looking good.
This is the most beautiful greenhouse I’ve ever seen. It has inspired me to build my own. I was wondering what thickness of glass you used for the roof and where can I get the metal brackets to hold the glass in place? Thanks
A beautiful greenhouse! I am very envious and inspired to build a little greenhouse for us. Amazing job! Could you share a list of the building materials/supplies and the costs? Thank you vey much!
Great job! Where did you source the windows from? Did you work from an existing plan? If so, please can you share it? I want to build a greenhouse but don't want to spend £4,000+ on one of the prefab aluminum ones.
Thank you for your comment , I made the whole thing including windows and doors. I planned the whole job as well, no plans needed just good old fashioned carpentry / joinery skills and plans I drew out as I went.
I measured the glass and put it in myself, I could make some plans, but this is definetly not a DIY project, you would need a machine shop for starters.
Amazing job.Most beautiful green house that i have ever seen. You have inspired me to build that in my yard :) you used nine rafters at side walls. Can you tell me that dimensions at side walls rafters parts?
Stunning quality work. Do you have any plans for this greenhouse ? This is EXACTLY what I would like to build for my wife as the garden patches won't allow her to grow everything she wants to grow
Hi, first I need to pick up your beautiful greenhouse. It's really perfect and I like it. I'm also going to build one. A little different, but similar style. I want to ask you what type of paint you used, I mean polyurethane paint or some other? Thanks for the reply
Beautiful greenhouse and great to see the family working together. Do you have any blueprints for this? Where did you get all of the hardware? I’ve been trying to find the keepers for the bottom of the glass and can’t find them.
fantastic job. I build this almost exactly same here in US as a hobby business. Robin McGregor was my inspiration and helped me learn the craft via zoom and videos. You did a fantastic job on this.
having the whole family do this is the best part about it. so lovely! amazing job by all!!!
Incredible. And the family to help. What a beautiful thing for your son to see and to partake in. Excellent work my friend.
Love it! Great job and Bonding time with your son
Love the color and the aesthetic. Well done.
Just had a quick look Ian, that’s a proper greenhouse! Great work!
Thx buddy, I wish yourube would let your followers share photos on your channel it would be brilliant.
@@ironian24 It would although I imagine the place would be overrun with spam and memes in no time!
@@GeorgesJungleGarden yes true
@@ironian24 Unfortunately! Keep up the great work with your channel!
What a fabulous Victorian greenhouse. Hope plenty of fun in Robinson’s Vineyard.
👏🏻🥂
Thank you Daniel, your excellent roofing square certainly helped heap loads in this project.
@@ironian24 thanks for buying one, and watching the skill builder videos.
All the best.
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. Haha love those videos they keep my mind sharp in my industry.
@@ironian24 many thanks. I’ve had great fun filming with Roger. It’s a bit out of my usual comfort zone but it’s getting easier.

I'm glad you find joy in this video, it was menr to inspire, I hope I did that.
WOW.. love to see the greenhouse and I would like to see what you’re growing too 😮😊
I've got other videos on my channel showing what I grow in the greenhouse.
Excellent job.
This is so lovely you did a fantastic job! I'm dying to have a green house like this built for my backyard 🥰
Thank you, it was a labour of love and it is seeing its first autumn and looking great with no movement that I can tell or see so a testament of a good design and build, still loving it and enjoying a cuppa in there 😀
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for showing it.

Brilliant brick masonry- that guy is a champ!
Thank you.
Thank you, I used 4mm toughened glass for the roof and clips are ridge & valley clips
@@ironian24 ridge and vally clips?
@@ironian24 how are the windows on the sides secured?
@niallchurch2679 with beading I made silicone in then pinned on
@ironian24 oh, it looked like you routed channels to slide the panes of glass,and then held in place with the valley clips. How did you pin them in?
Just WOW!!!! SPECTACULAR job!! I’m jealous!! Well done!! 💕💕🌿🌿💕💕🌿🌿
Thank you 😊
Very nice job, really like the color and brick at bottom very classy.
Thank you very much.
Well done, enjoy your garden, thank you for sharing
Thank you very much
Lovely ole job. I’m on holiday next time. Lmao. Great working with a real tradesman. It truly is a great credit to your skill set.
Thank you buddy, and thank you for all your help on this project, it was very much appreciated. The next one will be easier 😜😂
Very beautiful. It will inspire our future greenhouse
Thank you very much, it has been a wonderful project and works so well, as it should. Veg this year are doing extremely well.
Youve laid all your bricks upsidedown! That being said your greenhouse came out fantastic and inspiring!
😂 I don't think I did lay my bricks upside down,it's always frog up in the UK.
Not sure where you come.
Maybe your from Australia where things look upside down being on the opposite side of the world 😂.

Absolute phenomenal job!
Thank you
Absolutely amazing greenhouse!
Thank you so much. I have done lots of updates on how it is working if your interested, the videos are in the garden section.
OMG I love this greenhouse...............I got a normal greeenhouse with a green shade cloth over it which is awesome................. BUT.............. yours looks awesome..........
Thank you very much, happy Xmas.
Your son reminds me of my son… excruciatingly enthusiastic 🤪
And you remind me of my dad…
I feel like i know you lol
🤣🤣🤣 yep I know what you meant.
Cool, do these things need planning permission? Cant make out if its more than 3 metres or not.
it depends on garden, where you are, how far in from borders you are, different areas have dfferent rules, you will need to check with your local Council planning.
Great job! What a peaceful garden.
This is absolutely Beautiful!!! I would love to have this!!
Thank you so much,you can order 1 today for next years growing season.
Great job Ian, and Tyler. It looks fantastic.
Thank you Robin, bloomin hard work but very enjoyable, more so now it is being used.
Terrific job on the greenhouse! I've never seen such a top quality building job of a greenhouse. I am inspired! Well done!
Thank you very much.
such a beautiful greenhouse
Thank you, I just finished a complicated L shaped one yesterday. Video soon to be released.
Nice hope that there’s good fruit to come.Nice to see people milling their own projects.
Thank you very much.
Great! Greetings from Germany!
You slotted in the windows into the wood,what size slots have you routed?
@niallchurch2679 not sure what your saying, windows or roof?
@ironian24 well ypu have channels on roof for glass to slide into,what size did you route the channels,I'm assuming 4mm or 6mm thick glass?
Hope you understand what I mean
4mm glass 5mm channel@@niallchurch2679
I wanna do this for my dojo in my back yard that look cool
Really beautiful, so beautiful. You guys have done such great work.
Thank you Jane much appreciated.

Outstanding build! Top notch
That looks so beautiful!!!
Thank you
Great project Ian. Love the seating inside 👌
Thank you buddy
Would like to have seen underside of crested ridge,and how it was made,and put on roof!
With the detailed steps, I’m shocked you did not include rafter cuts, glass install steps, the small details that help make a difference to us. Gorgeous greenhouse.
To be fair I had enough to think about building it latalone thinking of making a video.
I am sure carpenters and joiners would get the jist of what I was doing, I would not suggest anyone could make this, you need a lot of tools and machinery and a workshop as well as experience.
To be honest the video was more a second thought over the build.
And I am surprised the video is doing so well.
I appreciate the feedback back and appreciate the views and comments this has had, I really enjoyed making this one.
C'est magnifique, bravo!!!
This was an amazing build. Wish I had a garden so I could atleast try do do the same!
Great job!
Thank you very much.
LOVE IT!!! I want one.
Thank you Naomi, you can always book me in for early next year.
This is gorgeous. Well done, man. 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you very much 😁 I just prey storm eunice leaves it alone 😔
Really beautiful!
This is incredible!!!
Thank you very much 😁
I don't usually leave comment but that is the work of a craftsman. How did you make the peak? Make a jig and route ? Really nice job.
Thank you, it was made using hole saws after making a template then a bobbin sander to sand the marks out that the hole saw left then for the spikes I used the chop saw at an angle
great to see what you and your son have achieved, by the way my next video ison a gimbal that would have helped you with the hand held stuff, enjoy the grapes and chilies when they are ready

Amazing! Not sure those are bell peppers right enough but hope whatever grew was lovely!

Love the greenhouse, surprised you didn't setup any guttering to catch rain water though.
I have now funnily enough in the galvanised long troughs
@@ironian24 cool, I've not made it through the other vids yet 😛
Hermoso...fantastic...!!
Amazing work!
Thank you.
Love the glasshouse. Can you share the blueprint or would we need to purchase it?
Beautiful work. Can you please tell me where you sourced the automatic roof windows. Thank you.
Amazon
I absolutely love your greenhouse, and the garden, raised beds etc all looks so good! Well done guys and I hope you get some good yield from the plants 🌱 🙌 thanks so much
Thank you, well 6 months In and Xmas eve, we are still enjoying lettuce from the greenhouse, so it is working well.
Hi Greetings from Ireland! What a beautiful job you did! A true craftsman! Did you work to a set of plans? And where did you acquire them ? It looks absolutely amazing! Well done!

There are too many materials to list here, you need to find what is right for you really.
Absolutely beautiful! Great work. What are the dimensions?
5m x 3m
Very nice
What a great video. Love your enthusiasm. What is the green paint colour and what brand of paint? The glass out turn out amazing.
Thank you, the colour is cooking apple green a farrow and ball colour.
@@ironian24 Thankyou so much for the info. Have a fantastic weekend!
I’m sure you’ve mentioned it but I cannot find it. What are the exact measurements? This is the perfect size! Beautifully done
@@Plantsandplanets 5mx3m
Top job fairplay, what was the glass size and thickness you used
also if you dont mind me asking how much did the glass cost
Thx for the comment the glass sizes were 550mm wide by 2.2m long 4mm thick.
Your greenhouse looks amazing. What material is the cresting?
I used hardwood for the cresting.
Great job! Where did you source the windows from? Did you work from an existing plan? If so, please can you share it? I want to build a greenhouse but don't want to spend £4,000+ on one of the prefab aluminum ones.

Thank you. The greenhouse is 5 metres in length, so all rafter are divided equally.
@@ironian24 thank you for your interest. Final question :) what is the height of wooden sidewalls and bricks walls?
The wall height is a standard pigmy wall at 600mm and the walls are 1000mm
Stunning quality work. Do you have any plans for this greenhouse ? This is EXACTLY what I would like to build for my wife as the garden patches won't allow her to grow everything she wants to grow
No plans as such more sketches than plans sorry.
I don't need detailed plans as I knew what I was doing from 35 years experience.
Very nice, what dimension of lumber did you use?
Mostly 4x2" but the ridge was 2x6"and wall plates were 7x2"
I wish I could already build my own one or two
