Anybody ever build a green house?

boustany · Mar 29, 2005

So, I'm getting 'encouraged' to build a green house for the CFO.

I'm not thinking anything big, maybe 10x10. I've done a bit of reading, but I don't know where to begin.

Any suggestions, comments?

TonyC built one, and it was a very nice one.

If you want to build more than one there is someone on ebay who sells benders to make the hoops out of 1 3/8 chainlink top rail. If you were so inclined to make your 10 x 10 a 10 x 100.
I have only built shade houses and that is basically a patio cover with shade colth.

Sams sells greenhouses of that size on their website. Some of them look pretty nice, and range around $1000 to $1400 in price. I don't know anything else about them, but was idly checking them out a while back.

Here is a picture of the one I built last year. It is 22 by 32, has a heater, exhaust fan, intake louvers and lots of shelving. Cost was under five dollars per square foot with all of the heating, cooling, electrical and running the electrical line from the shed.

A picture of the inside. The inside two rows of shelves were stacked three high and had very good light. We started over 35,000 plants in there for our garden.
