Hello YouTube. In this video I'm going to explain to you how I built a
two hundred dollar greenhouse, which would cost the Justice kit alone for
this new will cost over a thousand dollars.
I'll explain how I built it for 200 bucks and take you through it. First of all you
need plastic for
a greenhouse, a
simple cheap greenhouse you need plastic. Here we used a higher and
commercial grade plastic a 25 by 25
foot piece cost me fifty dollars so there's 1/4 my cost already.
Now this plastic has so many tributes to it. It is light diffusing
meaning it acts like an opaque lands and diffuses the light
throughout the greenhouse evenly. I can have a hanging plant along the inside
they will not cast a shadow on the plants below it.
It is very beneficial when you are
packing your greenhouse for plants and you want everything to get light. Also
it has a thermal additive
to it meaning it will hold up to 20 percent more heat,
thermal heat then other plastic like your cheaper plastic like you've is Queen
plastic.
Which will just allow the heat to dissipate faster. Also it is it has anti
condensation
property to it meaning the inside of the greenhouse, once it gets very moist which
typically happens
will not drip little droplets of water down your head
It allows it to condense and coalesce and run down the sides
For the second part that I had to get for my greenhouse
was the wood. I used a simple rectangular frame
along the bottom in twelve and a half feet by twenty two feet
It has a two by four base and on a side here I used
a one inch by 10 inch or one inch by 12 inch. I used a combination of both
and I picked all the wood up for this greenhouse for about sixty dollars
there's a local amish sawmill who happens the set off to the side
any and their seconds any wood that has a blemish
or chips out of it or it might have a small crack
something like that and oddball reason they don't want it
and they'll send it out and sell it relatively cheap
so I picked it up and was able to build my greenhouse out of it !
The door I horse trader with a friend of mine he had
and I'd trade him peace have a copper piping for his house
so that worked out really well. To hold the plastic down
I just used lath, we pulled it tight over the frame
rapid couple times in the lath and then nailed it down.
I did that a long all sides in a nice tight
fixture and that seems to have worked rather well
so far we had the plastic, the wood,
now we'll talk about the metal hoops on the inside here. I was able to pick these
up there was eleven of them. I
picked these up used, as you can see them,
for 60 bucks and that is extremely cheap.
Just by looking around I lucked out happen to find a for sale
All we did to hold the distance between the hoops, was we had some aluminum piping lying around
and we lashed those into place with binder twine. It seemed to work really well
And not only that, we can
hanging plants from them. Now to attach the
framing to the wood
I came up with an idea of electrical conduit clamps.
That seemed to work rather well
As you can see there
we just put her on the hoops, drilled it into place with some
screws and it's a it's rather strong there's my
worm bins, temporary chicken coop
and there is the other end of the greenhouse with a small window just an old school window
hand remove it put it back into place
and that's about it
so I had fifty dollars in a plastic
about sixty in the wood, sixty in the hoops and the remaining miscellaneous I had
screws
conduit clamps, some caulking
, the lathe on the outside and that's about it
thank you as always
