Its brilliant the way you think working on your own and explaining it, Thank you

excellent idea for clamping when making your walls...I will definitely use that on mine. as well as the treated 6x6 & wrap...didn't think about that. I have a bunch of old house windows I am going to use on my green house & use a glass film on some of those windows as most greenhouse I have seen

Fantastic Don, looks good so far.

I'm about to build an attached greenhouse for my home and YT channel. Thank you for all the tips. Subscribed!

Awesome video! I just found your channel today and am excited to check out your other projects for ideas for our own homestead.

this is what I am looking for. A solid framing job. I want to make mine 16x16

Cool build and nice tip on using the ledger board.

looks great !!! i love framing its my favorite part of building anyhing

Excellent video thank you for sharing

You make it look so easy. Great job 👏

Mrs Handyman Should have been thinking French doors so the Wheelbarrow could be moved in there. 😄... Nice Green House... I'm a Farmer. Lol

Your workmanship is always amazing! It's just beautiful! I have to agree, the door, where it is now, did turn out to be the best place for it. I also think that color is going to be perfect. I always loved to see a solid white greenhouse, but the stark white gets to ya after a while, and it ends up being this huge white thing that stands out too much, just like you said. I can't wait to see how it looks when it's enclosed. It's going to be so cool to be able to get your seed started in a beautiful greenhouse, with everything you need right there. Last, I'm really liking that foundation, and will be considering it for my shed that has been waiting forever to go up. Only difference is, it will have a floor. I'm so glad you shared this, gave me lots of ideas. Bless, Sheila

I am in Upstate SC. The 55 gal drums have helped. If I was to do this again I would make the north wall solid. Perhaps rock or block. I have solar so I can use a small heater or a heat pump got water. Also might put an additional layer of panels on the inside of the roof to make a dead air space

Homestead Handyman any chance you could provide some details on the steps of nailing in the walls and how they are attached? also would like some details on horizontal boards. i am trying to learn about framing...

Beautiful job. What are the dimensions?

I like the way you make wooden-framed stuff in the USA. Maybe it has something to do with the relative cost of timber (lumber?) over there compared to here in the UK but you use 2 x 4 where we would be trying to do with 45mm x 45mm (just over 1.75 inch square). And 6x6 for the foundation? - we would be looking for a 25 year mortgage on that 8-)=. Still, we live on a very exposed smallholding on the edge of the Peak District so I tend to be making stuff that is not too much lighter than yours. Like you I'm aiming to make anything I build now last me out.

@@homesteadhandyman4481 Thanks for the reply. Glad you got a good crop from it. If you are like us you will gradually outgrow whatever you build. I built a 30ft lean-to greenhouse about 8 years ago . That has been augmented with three 6ft square cold-frames for strawberries and a 16 x 18 ft fruit cage and I'm looking to build another free-standing greenhouse as we can't move for plants in the existing one (same problem in the house but that's another story). I must say, I'm very impressed with 10mm twin-walled polycarbonate as a glazing material. It may not be as pretty as glass but in a gale we had a door come adrift that ended up about 100 yards away up against a hedge and it was fine.

Hey man, what size is this one?

How do you measure how long each roof board should be? I have a 10x 6 greenhouse I'm building and I don't know how long I have to have the boards for an a-frame roof.

Thanks for watching. An easy way is to find the center of the wall. Put up a temp board pointing to the sky centered at the mark you made. Make a mark at the height you want the roof peak. Get 2 boards as rafters and temp nail them up or use a clamp. Make a mark where they intersect from top to bottom. and the will be your angle. Copy angle on the other end of board for overhang. Save one board as a template to mark others.
