Enjoyed watching the build!!!!! Loved the music...learned a lot! Currently building my hoophouse/greenhouse/happy place! Thx for sharing!❤
Best greenhouse so far. Love how you fortified it. Looks like it’s going to be pretty sturdy. Excellent!
Thank you! We really love it too!
Awesome builder… always thinking smart
Under the center of the green house floor is a great place to start a hot compost/ worm bin to make soil for the garden beds...
Turned out great!
What a great idea 💡 never thought of use hog panels for a greenhouse
Great design and build! I opted for clear panels attached length ways with a 2x4 on the inside. Got tired of replacing plastic especially with Texas heat. Thank you very much for sharing your fantastic green house.
This style of greenhouse has been great for providing extra snow-free space for our chickens. If snow ever piles up enough to deform it, you can use 1/2" conduit, a Low Tunnel Hoop Bender (Johnny's sells them), and 90° elbows at the ridge to reshape the panels. It provides extra rigidity and helps shed snow better.
Its very rare it ever snows in my area and if it does get 3 to 4 inches its gone within the week My problem is i have an old 12 x 20 garage slab i want to build this on. Wondering if i build 3ft ponywalls if i would still end up with enough dome shape for this to work or if i need to buy a couple extra panels and weld 4ft to the length of each panel?
We are adding a 12x20 greenhouse to the garden using the same method. The video should be ready by the end of the week. Thanks for watching!
Dimensions, lumber list, close up on panel attachment and panel size would be nice. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching! I made a new video with that information. DIY Cattle Panel Greenhouse // Growing Tomatoes in a Greenhouse 🍅
@@springdalecottagefarm Hi! I couldn't find the video you have mentioned. ¿Could you share the link ?
Hi! I re-titled it sorry. Thanks for watching! EASY* DIY Cattle Panel Hoop House Greenhouse kzhead.info/sun/ptOafMiLoGaEqq8/bejne.html
Putting in the shelving right away is a great idea. This design seems to be working well for the first timers. We want to put up a larger commercial one as a five year goal, but we are thinking of starting with a cattle panel one to start out.
Sure is nice to watch a pro such as yourself at work. Thank you for the great example. I also like the elevation the lower wood frame gives it.
I agree with the pro statement. Not cheap and easy when you don't own these tools or have the extra help he did to pull the plastic. I would never be able to do something to this measure with the basic tools I have
👍👍👍
awesome video, I will definitely be using a lot of things when I build my own this summer. However, i almost had a heart attack when the music started @ about 4:30. It's a super quiet video, but the music is set to 11. All in all, I really liked the video.
I’m sorry about the audio! It was one of my first videos. We’re planning on building another greenhouse, a wider one, as soon as the ground thaws. It will have a better, step by step tutorial. Thanks for watching!
Nice
Just stumbled on your video, and I've been planning my CPG for over a year! Yours turned out beautifully! Wondering how it's doing this winter? I'm in Montana where high wind are pretty normal (30 mph+ today). How did your anchors do for you, because I wasn't to go with T-posts?
Hi! Thanks for watching! It’s holding up great! The only problem we had was when the plastic ripped last fall during 50 mph winds. The structure is good and solid.
Excellent video thankyou. so the plants in autumn winter will get enough sunlight?
I’m going to try over wintering rosemary in there this year and see what happens. It is in an open area so hopefully will receive maximum sunlight. Thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you for your video. Question: What size (thickness) of clear plastic that you need for long lasting?
Hi, we use 6 mil plastic but we have to replace it every couple of years.
Your build was of interest to me since you used cattle panels on a 12' wide greenhouse where are you located, snow loads?
Hi! We are in Northern Michigan. We are hoping that with going 12’ it will hold up. We plan to monitor it and might need to put in a center support beam. Thanks for watching!
How did it hold up to wind, looks like an awesome way to build a less expensive greenhouse
It did great until we got 50 mph winds. We don’t normally have wind like that, thankfully!
@@springdalecottagefarm What happened then?
@@springdalecottagefarm would love to know the weak spot, so I can reenforce
Dave thinks it was because we had the door and window open and then we had 50 mph winds whip through. Since replacing the plastic we’ve had no problems. Even with wet, heavy snow.

Seems like you could just spray the interior with closed cell and have a fast insulated building.
That would be a great idea!
Will the cover protect from crop dusting pesticides?
It should.
What size is your cattle mesh? Thanks 🙏🏾
Hi! They’re 16 foot by 50 inches
what are the size of it? were the cattle panels 16' ?
It’s 10’x 20’, yes the panel is 16’ x 50” I believe
Where do you get the plastic and what thickness should it be?
We get it at Menards. I thinks it’s a 4 ply roll of 100’. If you can afford greenhouse plastic it’ll be better. We used what was available and will have to replace it sooner. Thanks for watching!
@@springdalecottagefarm thanks much!
How’s it hold up to snow?
It’s great. We’ve had it three years now and have never had a problem. Our 12 ft wide one has a support beam down the middle.
How wide and long is green house and height in center please
Hi! It is 10’ x 20’ with 8 ‘ center height.
Would you mind sharing the dimensions? It looks lovely!
Hi! It is 10x20 feet
@@springdalecottagefarm how tall?
7 1/2 feet
@@springdalecottagefarm Thank you!
great job... dont get me wrong but 2.5 more 2x4's and you could have built an entire house.... lol
Le bois posé sur le sol va pourrir rapidement !!
Has anyone else had a problem with the black pipe insulation creating too much heat for the plastic? Mind peeled bad. It began at the top ,like it made it too brittle. And only where the black pipe insulation is at. It's not even a year old. :/
I haven’t seen that but that’s a bummer! We’re in Northern Michigan so maybe our sun isn’t as intense.
Perfect for growing weed, when you have nosey neighbors. ☁
I did this and crows squirrels skunks and feral cats and rodents destroyed it in 2 years' time.......i was constantly patching the plastic, when the skunks had their babies it stunk so bad i gagged....the squirrels destroyed all my plants.....i will never do this again......install permanent materials on your greenhouse do not let anyone lie to you and tell you to use plastic.....take it from me i am out 2 thousand dollars because of this...if you want to play the fool then proceed and not heed the warning from an elder whos been there and done that and lives with the regrets of it all.....
