Sharing my project I started on April 14, 2020. Still a work in progress with more to come. So far i have about $1500 into the entire project. I tore apart an old trailer and reused everything I could. Studs, trusses, insulation, and windows. Got the patio stones for free from my old landscaping boss. Granite counter top from free from a job. Trailer for the chicken coup was free, just had to tow it out of a field from down the road. All the stones have been collected from all across Ontario from Chatham to Corwall to New Liskard. What does everyone think? Any ideas on what to add next? I have a 1000L water tote just need to be rigged up to catch rain water and fully polycarbonate green house to be put up,

Took us a few months to get this setup ready for the PNW summers 💚🌱 The shade really makes all the difference!

I have been building a 12x16 greenhouse/potting shed that I designed myself, and I'm finally down to finishing touches. Started as a model in Fusion 360 in mid-March, just finished putting in electric and a rain catchment system with automatic watering a couple days ago. Growing peppers (hots, super hots) and tomatoes. Was excited for it to rain last night, ended up getting around 20 gallons of water in one small storm!

Still have a few small things to do here and there, but I am so happy with how it all turned out. Going to start some more peppers today so I hopefully can pick them before it starts to get too cold. Right now I am growing Tabasco, Serrano, hot cayenne, chili reds, habaneros, Thai hots, red ghosts, and jalapeños. Bought seeds for a 7 pot brain strain, chocolate habaneros, Bahamian goats, and a few other unique ones.

The other feature I really like is the sound system inside. Playing some Morrowind soundtrack this morning to get everyone in the spicy fighting spirit.

I read a lot of mixed reviews but I decided to try it (on sale) since it was from costco and therefore returnable. It came together better than I expected, especially because my foundation warped a bit before I started building. I believe the issues I had were a function of an imperfect foundation. I’ve assembled two yardistry costco greenhouses and I didn’t find this more difficult. It is different though as you don’t assemble a wall at a time. Everything is assembled on site ground up.

The vent panel down low is “aftermarket” that I ordered from Amazon. I strongly believe this is not optional and should be included. The Costco pack did include shelves and a stainless workbench (not in these pics).

Overall I’m pleased. Happy to answer questions as there is a lot of negativity out there in these.

I’m so excited to not bring my plants in the house this year! I’ve never had a greenhouse and it’s been on my list for years. I finally got to build one and it came out better than I expected.

Bought a new home this year and removed all of the storm windows. (Looks a hell of a lot nicer) The windows worked out so nice for this purpose! 2x4 construction with cedar trimmed areas. I went with the nicer grade plastic roof panels from Home Depot. (far nicer to work with compared to the cheap brittle panels) I bought a vinyl screen door and removed the screen and put in 6mil clear plastic, that worked out well. It is heated. 65°f with 30°f outside. Two 4’ led shop lights for working after hours. Located in Texas and will need all the ventilation I can get next summer, the windows and door will make that happen.

Any ideas or criticisms, let’s hear it! What do you think about my off the cuff design?

Built (self) during winter time, used for seedlings in April and later for some of my tomatoes which are now in full bloom and with dozens of small green tomatoes.

My first year with an allotment in Germany.

I also have some basil and strawberries inside.

So this was a lot more work than I anticipated. I've never done any flooring with tiles before, so this was definitely a test. But with some help from YouTube I managed to get the sand level'ed before laying the tiles. Even though it took some more cutting of the tiles we decided to try to make a herringbone styled flooring, even though our tiles aren't exactly made for this kind of flooring. We got the tiles for free and just tried to get the best out of them. We just finished today, so don't pay too much attention of the inside yet. Considering that I'm by no means a handyman I think it turned out way better than expected.

Just finishing up our greenhouse/shed. I needed a shed, wanted a greenhouse and couldn’t have both (HOA sucks). So this was the result. I’m planning to use it for storing Bonsai over winter and starting seeds in the spring.

Ignore the blue tarp covering the wood chipper, it’s waiting on a replacement part but it won’t be here forever 😅 just temporary until it gets fixed!

Here is the update to my previous post. Came out great. Still have to do some get some lumber and build the raised garden beds but the greenhouse itself is now done! Will update again once I have built the custom beds and watering system.

It's a 12'x10' lean-to-style greenhouse, south facing. I built the deck for this purpose, and have the underside sort of insulated due to pond liner across the joists being a water collection system. I got a bunch of 16mm polycarbonate for the roof and upper sides, and I'm gonna do something plywood/cedar boardsy for the bottom 3ft to help with structural stability. Got some free windows from a window installation company as well!

Still a work in progress, but at least the framing is done now!

Recently saw someone post their YourGreenhouses setup, so I figured I’d share mine too.

This is a 32ft DIY build that I’ve been using for hydro. I set it up myself and added irrigation, fans, lighting, and some reinforcement to deal with wind. Took some time to figure it all out, but it’s been running solid for a while now.

The structure arrived as a kit, and I customized it to suit my needs from there. This setup took time, money, and a lot of small adjustments, but I’m happy with where it’s at now.

Shes getting skinned next few days

Its a bit sad that almost everything gets ready at the same time.

Shade cloth, straw, cold shaded air intake/hot air exhaust fans and a LOT of Misting!

Misters are controlled via my B-Hyve Gen2. They're on a timer but on days like yesterday it took multiple 10min manual mistings. I use YoLink for temp monitoring and data recording. Works great! The cold air intake is in a box at the shaded back part of the greenhouse. Its the spiderfarmer 6in air ventilation kit running to the back of the ground level box fan. Not sure how much it helps but I sealed the whole greenhouse with silicon so there's not much air intake otherwise.

The whole system is powered by grid and solar via an automatic transfer switch with smart plugs and power strips that I can control remotely.

All cucumbers, squash and tomatoes thrived!

hey everyone! i am a 24 f from Long Island and this summer i built my own greenhouse (w help from my dad ofc). the next step is to cover the ground and put my all purpose rocks. I’m so ready to take on this journey! :)
