"Greenhouse"
Thursday, October 25, 2007
Today I tackled a greenhouse for our outdoor plants. In the past I have stored them in the garage & storage shed or let them die. I just hated having the mess and they took up all the garage space so... I decided to construct a greenhouse, per say. Here are my pictures.

Here are the plants to try and save...
+
the supplies & tools I used
+
I used 4 mil 20' x 25' clear plastic sheeting
+
+
+
using a 20' 1" PVC pipe, I started out taping with clear duct tape, then rolled for about 2 ft, then used ties.
+
+
Full sheet with top complete
+
+
Folded up end to the 15' mark and cut
+
See!!!
+
Here it is cut away...
+
and, here it is ready to secure to the 4 screws on the fence (10" from the top)
+
+
one end done...
+
I used a 15' piece of rebar, taped it to start the rolling (like on top) and rolled up about 2' and used ties to secure. I used rebar because of the weight to hold it down.
+
Here is the rolled rebar edge.
+
Here is the finished project. Inside the greenhouse is a metal shaded light with a 20 watt plant bulb secured and attached with an outdoor cord.
+
+
Here are the plants inside.
