Hawdy Folks!
Well, after much anticipation I've finally moved into an awesome new house that will allow me a lot more freedom to grow. The move was pretty intense, we rented the biggest U-Haul they make. After getting settled in the first step was to put up my greenhouse. It's incredibly easy to set up and quite cheap to build/expand as well. So, without further ado:
Part I
Da House
You'll need:
-4ft. re bar
-10ft. PVC (I used 3/4")
-PVC crosses
-4x4 wood planks
-6 mil. plastic (I used 4 mil.)
So, first thing we do is find a nice flat spot that gets as much sun as possible. Don't worry if it's not completely flat or in direct sunlight, mine isn't. Keep in mind you can design the greenhouse to whatever dimensions you like, given you have the space, mine is 16x10.
Once you find your spot take your 4 ft. rebar and drive it into the ground half way, 2 ft. in and 2 ft. out.
Continue this process every 4 feet until you reach your desired length. Next, set the width (mine is 10 ft.) and drive in your rebar, again, every 4 feet. You should now have two straight lines of rebar sticking out of the ground. Simply slide your 10 ft. PVC over the rebar, bend down, and connect with the PVC crosses.
Be sure to buy a couple of extra 10 ft. PVC poles when you're at the store, you'll use them for the roof. Just cut them into 4 ft. sections and they should fit perfectly inside the PVC crosses to form the roof's "spine".
Now we just slide the plastic on the frame like a dress over a nice sexy ass....
.... and pin it down with the 4x4's.
Viola!
Did mine in under an hour and cost me about $75, not too shabby.
.... stay tuned, I install the bio-buckets next
