Greenhouse Build 16x28. Never Seen One Built Like This

Published 2023-01-24
My family and I decided to take on a serious project: building a DIY 16' x 28' greenhouse from timber on our property. We cut the timbers into useable 6"x6" White Oak beams, which we then used to support the overall structure. I guess each White Oak post in our greenhouse weighed over 100 pounds. Our tractor and our friend John were both lifesavers. Installing the post in the ground was easy using Fast2K. You have seen us use Fast2k many times on the homestead. It has never failed us. #greenhouse

We thank H.B. Fuller and the Fast2K team for partnering with us on this build. They make products we believe in. Fast2K Info: fast2k.com/product/deck-post-anchor/

    Just as a sidenote, make sure you seal the top and bottom of your double wall poly carbonate panels. They make aluminum tape for the top and venting tape for the bottom. This keeps dust and bugs out of the panels, but allows moisture to weep out of the bottom keeping your panels clear.
  • Suggestion: gas actuated piston vents exist. No electricity. When it gets hot, the gas inside the piston expands and pushes the piston which can open a flap for ventilation.

    Good on you for wearing PPE with the chain saw and showing others how to do it right man.
  • @danielf996451
    Solar vents are what I use with an exhaust fan, that’s a large greenhouse so a large thermostatic controlled 1:00:31 exhaust fan with air inlets down low, solar vents in roof will need frame to attach solar vent too. The thematically controlled solar vents are wax filled shock that opens as it warms up, there adjustable, until you get vents in you have a solar kiln, so what I’m saying is hold off growing inside, also shade cloth will help with plants getting to hot. Here in alaska until trees leaves come in the spring the green house can get very hot. Great team work and with greenhouse build
  • @darrylgordon3236
    Love the greenhouse! Solar cement floor with pex tubing heated floor! Hot water for hot tub🤣
  • @anijohnson8082
    I mean this with complete respect to your wife. You are a gem! Thank you for showing me how to do it all you two. I dream of a greenhouse...yours is just the right size. My hubby is 68 and I won't ask him for one. But you both showed me how to get it done.. Thank you so very much for this blessing! The gentleman who helped you is a God thing i tell you. Precious precious precious. Love your cross Ms Tonya. Doesn't the Lord just do it all right when He picks a mate for us. I am just so tickled for you. so wonderful tosee love like this!! Y'all are a very sweet couple.
  • Behind one good woman is an awesome great man. Looks so good. Can't wait to see more videos on your off grid plans. God bless.
  • I call "working in greenhouses" as my favorite job! Yours is just beautiful!
  • @dlw3442
    I just want to say, one of the most motivating educational and impressive instructional Video's ever, bar none..it begs one to put on their, civil engineering, designer and building contractors Hats. And take the time to envision the process out, addressing could be problems in advance, by seeing the big project picture in your mind, thank You, my friend for influencing and demonstrating such highly acclaimed methods and procedures from beginning to end The Father is Smiling. Sincerely, kind regards
  • You sure can’t beat those Stanley FatMax tape measures! I’ve bought dozens over the years including wildly overpriced ones that stops working good, cradles, or completely stops working in a 10th of the life of a Stanley FatMax. That’s a really nice greenhouse that I’d love to build for myself, however after living where we do in SE Texas for almost 35 years, we’re ready to seek out a larger track of land to build our retirement home and other structures verses putting more money into this place. Thanks and take care.

    My wife and I loved this video! We watch a dozen or so “homesteading” channels a week. Yours is VERY well edited and presented WITHOUT a bunch of opinion promoting your personal agendas. We stumbled across your video on the firewood storage shed and thought it was one of the nicest we’ve seen. When this popped up as an offering, we watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Your attention to details, including when expressing what you are about to do and why, make for great viewing. Truly appreciate your willingness to let the Light in you both shine in a friendly, loving way. After viewing your of the Man cage in this video and your Mini Clip video, I am sending a suggestion to Al & Gina at LUMNAH ACRES to consider adding both to his other implements for his 474, which he loves. They are also an awesome Christian, homesteading couple in New Hampshire. We are now a subscriber!
  • @antrena490
    Damn, this is by far the best built greenhouse I've seen on YouTube. Very practical design, thank you for taking the time to make this video. 👍🏼
  • @user-py3qh2sf9z
    Well done video. I'm not sure where you are located, but I think your greenhouse is going to need much better ventilation during the warmer months for both heat and humidity control. Possibly electric exhaust fans at both ends and suspended fans for moving air within the building. You might consider looking at geothermal technology, which can efficiently regulate air temperature in all seasons. I'm a great fan of geothermal. We use it in Alberta Canada, where the winters reach -40 Celsius and the summers are hot.
  • @EOTG_AK
    Sooo glad I checked the run time before I got over a minute into this video. Had I gotten sucked in it would be almost 1am before I knew it. Adding this to my watch later so I’ll have something to watch during lunch tomorrow!
  • @jenna6256
    Not sure how I got here. Sorry I can't offer any advice but can give you guys a major thumbs up on this project. Looks awesome !! You'll eat healthy yum yums !!
  • @rickhoro
    Simply amazing! Old city boy just moved out the country and trying for my second life. You're an inspiration and such great videos. Thank you!
  • I Gotta say that is one of the nicest greenhouses I’ve ever seen built 😊😊😊
  • Nice work! Love the oversized Timbers, especially the fact that they were home grown. A suggestion: you might want to look into some ventilation mechanisms. Come summer it will be too hot in there to grow anything, and it will help with the condensation and high humidity. Can’t wait to see the next phases…
