Before You Build a GREENHOUSE Watch This

As you plan to install fan for the hot times, A tip for automatic ventilation is to use a 12v fan for radiator car, powered directly by solar panels. Your fan will run according to the intensity of the sunlight and stop automatically by night or cloudy. It will follow the natural need of your plants.

Great video, just a suggestion on how you are supporting your ridge beam. Look at 16:48. You have 3, 2x4's sandwiched together carrying the entire load of the beam and weight placed on it. That set of 2x4's (called the header) needs to be flipped 90 degrees since a 2x4 is much stronger standing on its edge. Make your header out of two 2x4's with a piece of 1/2 inch plywood sandwiched in between, this will yield, 3 1/2 inches. Then place at least one 2x4 directly underneath each end of your header. Those 2x4's need to run all the way down to your base plate.

Thank you ! I actually like seeing the trial and error videos. It helps all of us see what worked and what didn't. I am going to put in a solar ventilation gable fan for our very hot summers.

great looking greenhouse! if i had the room id love that large of a greenhouse. mines only like 8ft by 11 ft. im from michigan too!! glad to see more people greenhousing.

Your explanations and visuals were excellent. I stayed glued to the end of the video! Liked!!

Thank you for sharing all the details and cost. God bless

I’m glad you mentioned about taping the PVC piping due to the reaction to the UV plastic because a lot of vids I’ve watched on building hoop greenhouses nobody’s mentioned that except you.

Thank you for your videos. They are very informative and love the updates, suggestions you talk about to aid others to avoid experienced pitfalls.

It's so much fun building a greenhouse. I'm in the process and I'm just making it up as I go along. You learn so much by doing that and you brain really loves you for the good workout!

Thank you for the video in the end of the coming summer I am going to do something like that, the knowledge you are giving me is amazing ! Thank you!

New subscriber here! I’m just getting interested in the DIY greenhouse idea. Love what you did here. Your commenters are so helpful too🙌

Looks great! I discovered your channel a few weeks ago looking for acroponics info. Your videos are perfect for me because I'm living in a similar climate and can relate to your trials and tribulations. I attempted to build a greenhouse about 3 yrs ago but failed. Thanks to this video i will try again in the spring Thank you and best wishes for future success.

Very informative video I liked the details . Thanks for sharing.

You could install a coat hook next to the door because in the spring and fall when it’s cooler outside and you go in there and it’s warmer you’ll want to take your coat off and hang it up while you do work inside the greenhouse

Thanks for all the information. Looking forward to when things are growing!
