You can find the greenhouse plans here. I've always like the idea of this greenhouse. They go up with ease and are also easy to disassemble should you need to move them quickly. With the greenhouse plastic removed they can also be transformed into a support for vegetable plants and this gives the kids a shaded area to escape the summer sun.
These greenhouse plans use simple tools to build and require very little upfront costs which makes the greenhouse even more attractive to those looking to build a DIY greenhouse that is cheap. The step-by-step instructions are clear and the plan photos give you a good idea of where you should be in the building process.
Overall this is a great set of greenhouse plans to get started with.
This is another excellent set of PVC greenhouse plans from North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service. These greenhouse plans walk you through the steps of selecting a location to build your own greenhouse, constructing a greenhouse with PVC pipe and they also include a materials list for what you will need when building your PVC greenhouse.
Once you have used the plans to build your PVC greenhouse they even include a section for operating your PVC greenhouse. In the plans, they state that their PVC greenhouse will hold up to 4 inches of dry snow. We haven't seen dry snow since 1942 so you may want to keep snow load in mind when planning a PVC greenhouse.
This set of DIY greenhouse plans is for a for an arched roof 9' X 12' hobby greenhouse. It looks very easy to build and is your typical wood greenhouse frame with plastic sheeting as a cover. This DIY greenhouse calls for exterior grade plywood which will probably be a bit more expensive, but essential if it going to last any amount of time.
Even though this is a DIY greenhouse you may need a helper or two to at least get the greenhouse frame assembled and since plastic is always a chore when trying to cover the greenhouse you may need an extra hand with that too. So try to plan ahead and see if you can round up a few able warm bodies to help you out with this on.
You don't have to be a carpenter to build your own greenhouse. I built my own greenhouse years ago out of PVC and plastic and some scrap wood I had lying around. It wasn't the prettiest thing you ever saw, but it got the job done. And my plants really didn't seem to mind.
It does help when building your own greenhouse to have a set of greenhouse plans to follow along with. Or at least use several sets of plans to design your own greenhouse and then use your design as your guide. The biggest bit of helpful advice I can give you on building your own greenhouse is to set aside some money and buy real greenhouse plastic to cover your greenhouse with. The cheap plastic that you buy at the hardware store just isn't thick enough to hold up in the outside environment and isn't UV treated and so starts to break down after only a few months of sunlight exposure.
Whichever set of greenhouse plans you intend to use for building your own greenhouse, just be sure to have fun and remember that the end result is having a place to escape from this crazy world and having a place to be able to do what you love the most...growing plants.
This set of hobby greenhouse plans is for a wooden frame greenhouse constructed with plastic covering. The greenhouse is an 8' X 18' greenhouse that looks easy to build and requires only ordinary tools to assemble.This a pretty small greenhouse compared to other hobby greenhouses. There is even instructions for making a greenhouse vent for this greenhouse, but this could be used for other greenhouses as well. A great set of greenhouse plans to get you started building a greenhouse.
Some of us just don't have the room for a large hobby greenhouse in our small backyards. So we have to settle for a small greenhouse. Here are some small greenhouse plans for those with very little space, but still want to build their own greenhouse. The plans are for a PVC pipe greenhouse with a wood frame on the bottom to secure the PVC pipe to. They suggest using Schedule 80 PVC pipe to build the greenhouse because it is stronger than Schedule 40 PVC. No arguments with that.
This small greenhouse would be useful for hardening off plants, growing annuals and perennials and it would actually be an excellent greenhouse for propagating plants. If you do decide to build this type of greenhouse be sure to spring for the best greenhouse plastic you can afford so you won't be replacing is so much.
