Building a greenhouse
It started with a drawing on our chalkboard counter top...
And now an actual structure has been going up in the back yard.
I now have a greenhouse! It is small (8' x 16') but big enough to have a lot of fun, and surprisingly inexpensive. This year, at least, I'm going to leave it unheated, so I won't be able to grow in it quite year-round, but it will seriously extend my growing season, and let me overwinter almost-hardy plants. SO much fun!

Congratulations... :)
So jealous! You're going to host a giveaway for a free one of these right? Right?
Sharp! Wish I had the room for one. And to design your own? Awesome. You'll get lots of use out of it. In round numbers or a range, can you share how much it did cost? Not trying to be nosy, just curious.
Looks like fun, and lots to eat during the colder months. We use 1/2 inch pvc pipe and make simple hoops over our beds.
Um... yeah, Green Zebra. Keep dreaming. :)
Jim, from start to finish, including the materials for the benches inside and such, just under $900.
Fun indeed! Perfect for keeping those agave dry...that IS what you're using it for right?
As much as I think your greenhouse is the nicest ever built, this is my new favorite:

Sweet! Once again, you beat me to it! Hahahah.
Must see pics when it's BULGING with plants!!
Oooh, Love this idea! Do you have photos of the inside with the plants?
