    I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or not. You could use those large stones from digging the foundation in something like a work bench base in the greenhouse. The mass of the stones would make an awesome heat sink and look cool, too. I appreciate the time and effort you have to build such an amazing project. Would suggest using a heavy container. For example, cattle panels. Anchor with long t-post like a Gabion wall. Then a wood or masonry top for work surface. Just a thought.

    Beautiful build! Hope you get everything out of it you desire. Enjoyed watching the build. I saw your other video on comparing greenhouse builds after watching this one and you mentioned you still need to figure out the ventilation. If you were building it for me, the ONLY change I'd ask for is a window at the back end with a built in thermometer that opens the window automatically when it reaches a certain temp. That way I wouldn't have to keep the door open to vent it, to keep the critters out.

    Perfection! I will use your design as my guide. Two questions: 1) Suggestions for gutter collection funneling into greenhouse for plant irrigation? PVC piping through top maybe allowing for gravity feeding? 2) How did you ventilate? I want to build two greenhouses… one adjacent to kitchen and create external door entrance maybe dutch door if allowed by code. The other will be off the family room extending our living space when existing door is open. Goals: reduce heat costs and nutrition.

We haven't figured that out for this one, yet. But we made the doors big so if they open that will be a huge help. We are pretty far north so we don't need a ton of ventilation. But, if we need more I am going to frame in a window/vent and maybe put a solar fan or something in. I am going to observe and react as the growing season arrives

There is one thing that jumps out to me that might be a mistake.... Apparently no vents or windows. I didn't see a heat solution either, although that could be done lots of ways. But unless I missed something no built in way to let heat out in the summer could be an issue???? Last, I have a question for basically anyone.... how beneficial would it be to be insulating, especially in places like the bottom couple of feet all around?

    We had a lot of ceder and prefered that look, too. They dont align because we framed from the front back then did rafters from back to front. It was a beginners mistake but it held up to a lot of snow. WE are still learning as we go. Between panels there is an H channel they slide in. The screws dont stick out much and the cedar is soft enough it wasnt a problem to trim out.

    Outstanding job. The project is great and the video progress was well done! I do have 2 questions please. I read you were able to purchase the panels at $55. Is that per 4x8 sheet and can you share the vendor you used? Also what are your wall heights and ridge height. I know the length is 16’ but would also like the width. Thank you for considering a reply and congratulations on a nice structure

    We didnt want the panels to sit right on the 2 x 4. Plus the strips gave it a little support in the middle. Might not be necessary depending on where you are and snow loads.

  • @TheNorthBranchWI

    9 ай бұрын

    The paint was VOC free and had some outdoor additive to preserve the wood. We figured that was a more cost effective option than cedar and didn't want oil or regular paint in a growing area. We put windows on the front and with those and the doors open the airflow was more than enough. But, we are in zone 4 so the cold is more of a problem for us, than the heat.

    Hey, Brody! The dimensions are 12'x16'. It is hard to have a good price point to share because our cousin milled all off all the cedar we used on the outside. If we had to pay for all of that we would not have been able to afford this build haha But the panels were about $55 each and there were a lot of 2x4's and concrete mix that went into this. And we painted everything as well

    Hey y’all, quick question from someone who has poly panels in their tractor supply cart as we speak: did you have to get H clips to connect the poly panels or did they come with connectors, or were you able to make cuts that secured them together?

    Hi! I hope i got this to you in time. But the h clips are what connect the panels. They slide in and that makes a seal to keep water and bugs out. Then the u channel goes on the bottom for the same reason. I hope this helps and I hope I understood what you are asking correctly

    Thank you, Jerri! It is a little tough to come up a price for this one because we milled the cedar for the exterior ourselves. If we had to buy it I don't think we would have been able to built it, at least in it's current form. The panels are 4x8 twinwall panels, and those were roughly $50 a piece, and there were a lot of 2x4's (and we painted them all) that went into the frame . There was also concrete, and screws and everything like that. It all depends on the size you are looking for too
